This is reassuring, I've been working on my codependency and abandonment issues and this lets me know I've been healing.

I'm still working on it tho I won't lie. Healing from trauma is a long process.

One of my bsf has gotten too attached to me. I am an ENFP and I have many close friends. Tbh, one day she randomly called me her bsf and I didn't want to make her feel bad (she asked with puppy eyes, if that makes sense) so I agreed but later on I started enjoying being with her in the first few months. She was a little too immature but I could handle it...for a few months. Then she started getting too clingy, wouldn't let me sit with our other friends, wants all of my attention when we are in school since that's the only place we can meet but we both have other close friends and I want to be close with them too. I wasn't able to talk with others bc of her, she would get mad if I decided to sit with someone else for one day. There are problems in everyone's life, she takes hers too seriously and gets very emotional but after 9 months or so I started to realisw that most of the time, SHE is the problem or root for many situations. The worst part is she doesn't want to own up to her mistakes. It is getting too tiring for me so I am distancing myself from her. I feel bad about it too and I spent a couple of days crying about it but she is draining me, and I don't like it. She is gonna end up hurt but I have problems too and she doesn't understand

I don't know what this feels like but I am big on introspection. Thank you for this!❤

Yea i used to have a lot of problems with this. Its been a few years since i realized it and now im much better. I still get super excited when i see my partner and sad when i can't but thats mostly because we're long distance and are both busy so it can sometimes be a week or two until we can talk again. But thats fine. We both know that the other will be there when we do have time

[exsitss]

Ah, I've been here before, and ill be honest, I still am. I'm trying to learn to not fully "need" love, but to "want" love, if that makes sense

I never thought I'd have an emotional support person. However, I do give him his space and I am deeply saddened that he will be switching departments soon

People who have been cheated on can also develop this issue with a future partner.

This is how I describe the dynamic between my parents and I. When I’m not around, it’s like they go into the withdrawal symptoms associated with addiction, making clear their disapproval if I so much as travel for a few days or don’t call every single day, as if they can barely function without my presence.

This has made it problematic to achieve my long-sought bachelorhood in the long term, as my quest for a healthy interdependence between my parents and I is marred by their overriding, one-sided toxic codependency.

I can’t gradually ease my way out of this, and the “cold turkey” approach is unwise; it’s like deciding whether to prolong their agony or leave them to emotionally tear into each other. There is no way to leave without causing them harmful withdrawal symptoms.

I don’t like being a cause of addiction in my parents. It contradicts my natural kindness and honesty… could that be the reason?

Could they cling so tightly _because_ I’m a “nice guy, ” whatever that means? It’d be ironic, in a “blessing = curse” kinda way… 😅
