One year after their split — and long before he and Jess Clarke became Instagram official — Ben Higgins spoke with Entertainment Tonight about how his insecurities contributed to his high-profile breakup.

“It’s so easy to be the victim… and so when you start looking inward and saying, ‘OK, what exactly did I do that affected this breakup or this relationship negatively?’ [and] for me, it’s my reactions towards things,” Higgins said of his split from Lauren Bushnell. “I have routines and consistencies in my life that for anybody else to come in and change that, for me, I was holding on to them way too close. So I have to become less reactionary.”

“The other part of this [is] I’m too sensitive,” Higgins added. “I just get so sensitive sometimes and that affects just my normal relationships because I doubt all the time in the back of my head, you know, is this relationship for real? Do they really like me? Do they really care? Or let’s throw another one out there, do they really love me? That’s something I have to give up, because when I start to get in my own head about that, I start to push the person away.”

Higgins’ failed relationship ultimately taught him how to become his best self so he could find long-term love in the future.
