I have that same problem because when I love I give all of me and I don't feel like I get the same in return

Dealing with the residual destruction caused by a family member

Building friendships or building any relationships really.

Its first the problem of getting over the fear that they leave by puting up a front that everything will just be okay.

Then an event that will inevitably cause some sort of emotional melt down and thus said friends for the moment will leave or will be unable to deal with me.

I'll be honest, I rarely let anyone get that close to me. So for anyone to get as close as that they will even witness me breaking down means I trust them. but most of te time, they leave anyway. So yeah. I cant really make relationships with anyone. But Im always open to help others with their problems.

Being so needy that you push people away, when all you want them to do is stay with you. I often have nightmares that I'm suddenly alone in a crowd of people and I'm desperately trying to find the person I love.

I had troubles in past relationships and now I'm afraid of going through the same things. I don't trust myself to choose the right partner (somebody who will treat me right) because I fear I might let myself choose anybody because I need love. I'm afraid of not being able to fall in love anymore.

I feel like I have to pretend to be someone better all the time, or theres going tobe no way anyone really wants to be around me, and even if they do want to be around me i always push them away because I don't like myself enough when I'm not pretending

I understand you so much! I feel that way even with my family. I feel like everyone around me is doing amazing and have these awesome personalities so I pretend to be like them. Im afraid to show my insecurities and that everyone will find me boring.. I get exhausted from pretending to be someone i'm not all the time. It sucks..

Having any kind of healthy relationship Is difficult.I either get too clingy because I'm scared they're going to leave me or I'm irritable and push them away. My impulsivity hurts everyone. I feel empty even when I am with loved ones doing positive things so then I do other things to fill the void tht hurt people.
