Dealing with people with abandonment issues
I've had a lot of friends with abandonment issues and almost every single one has left me.
I grew to have a lot of anxiety and trust issues and dealing with friends with abandonment trauma **. It constantly ends up with them probing me for validation at inappropriate times then getting really upset when I don't respond. I feel like they can't recognize me as a human being with free will. I'm constantly panicking that every ** sentence will become a 3 hour spiral into their insecurities.
I get no pleasure from being everyone's therapist, just constant anxiety that if I ** up, if I do one single thing wrong, they'll go off the deep end. I mean for ** sake I'm worrying the wrong person will come across this and then have a depressive episode because of it.
Are we just ** incompatible as humans because I can't spend every waking moment walking on egg shells? Every conversation runs me to ** exhaustion and I just need some social interaction that isn't constantly tainted by our mental health issues. **.
They aren’t your people, find new ones
