Title: She ruined my life.
Post by: Shedd on June 06, 2018, 06:00:57 PM
Things keep spiraling downward for me with relationships.  I don't know how to cope with loss.  I never have been good at it.  I keep losing friends right and left it seems.  I know the world is in turmoil, but my friends give up on me so easily.  I really suck at communicating and I have a hard time opening up to anyone now.  I don't know how to make friends anymore because I figure they're just going to all abandoned me like she did. I don't want to be alone.  I strive for the love of people I give it out so freely with little in return, and I'm tired of it.  I really feel like all this started with her.  I feel like she ruined my life and how to interact with people.

Oh, Shedd!  Hugs.    I hear you're feeling down on yourself.  Take heart though, you're doing a good job communicating here. 

Does communicating with people IRL feel harder for you than online?  What happened this week that led you to feeling abandoned?

It sounds like this may be how you are and this BPD r/s may have triggered this realization,  yes?
