I push people away. Even when they say the love me I dont believe them, which eventually does push them away and confirms my fears. I constantly want love but believe I will die alone. Its a living nightmare that no one has the patience for. Nobody gives a fuck if your broken.

@Paintedfox this sounds like trust issues

@Paintedfox So the main reason of you push people away is that you fear they will leave you in future?

@Nanori Call it whatever you want, I have no say what people think about me

@Paintedfox Lack of confidence is one of the things that always makes the list of turn-offs though.

Thank you everyone for your diagnosis. I feel so much better now that yet another person who doesn't know me has assumed they understand the events of my life. Thanks so much 🙄

@Paintedfox Sorry to hear about that, you seem like a cool person who'd be nice to be around so it's a shame it's been that way for you 😟

@Nanori cruel bitch

@Ryannnnnn my family abandoned me for not pretending its okay that my uncle molested all of us. My dad abandoned me, abuse, neglect. Then you start to welcome people that are going to hurt you. Its all you know. Then you end up alone and in pain and people only want to judge you for who you turned out to be whether you like yourself or not.

@Paintedfox That's horrible, it's no wonder you feel the way you do. It must be very hard to live through that kind of inner sense of isolation even when with others who say they care for you.

@Ryannnnnn I just want love
