ER, Season 10

Abby (to Jordan):
This is not about me.

Jordan:
You want me to tell you things, to trust you, but you don't have to say anything? Is that fair? Don't you trust me?

Abby:
OK. I can't follow through.

Jordan:
On what?

Abby:
On anything. Once something gets in my way, it's like a chemical reaction. I just shut down, and I give up. I'm just looking for an excuse to stop, because in the end it's easier to do that than to risk being hurt and disappointed again.

Jordan:
You mean with men?

Abby:
Men, my career, my family... pick your poison.
