I Don't Like Goodbyes

I become emotionally attached to those around me too easily. If I spend time with you and I speak to you every day, I find myself craving your attention. It hurts me when people’s moods change and they start to push themselves away from me. Someone that I once spoke to multiple times a day suddenly doesn’t make contact with me. I struggle to process this change and I become emotionally drained and upset over little things.

Are you aware of the fact that you most likely push them away by being so needy? I'm just wondering if you take responsibility for it continuing to happen or just blame the people who leave?

@Fernie: I do feel as though I push people away with my neediness. I blame myself much more than I blame them.

@rexha The really good thing is that you did not become defensive just now and seem to be trying to see the reality of the situation. Good for you! There's no doubt, based on your details, that you are causing this to happen. You're going to have to get help and support if you want to be strong and independent. That needs to be your goal or you will live a sad and lonely life depending on others
