“Putting them outside the house” was the key insight I needed. I meditated and journaled multiple times, but nothing seemed to help. The thing is that I’ve been resistant to letting go. It felt like a huge loss. But gradually detaching myself mentally seems to be a way out. Thank you, Michelle!

1. Self esteem is based on what you do for others. 2. Don’t know what you need or want. 3. Lose yourself in relationships. 4. Can’t say no or set boundaries, can’t share feelings. 5. You attract people who are difficult to be with in a relationship. 6. Have a hard time letting go of abusive or dysfunctional people. 7. Expecting perfection from partners and not stating expectations.

I have resentment festering... and I hold on to it because I want to avoid an argument, and I don't speak to family or friends about it because I don't want to speak negatively. I have emailed my pastor to see if church counseling will help get it off my chest (just me because I don't think my husband will be open to it)😢

Worked 10 hours in 5 months..he said he wasn't using me when i paid for everything..i mean everything..he blamed it on his mental and physical health, he has variable pulse; alway saying he could deop dead any time. I asked him to find an easy job..he didn't. The last time because he got lost and parked in a wrong parking lot, after me telling him where, i tey to explain where to meet, he yelled at me like a maniac then horribly told me to shut up...i if course told him who t f do you think u are to tell me to shut up...my oldest was with me..heard tbe whole thing, aftehe comes out he goes and gets in my son's face and start yelling at him , blaming him that he had to pay 20 bucks...my son is pissed.

Growing up I was lied to about EVERYTHING! I begin having trust issues as a child and it progressed into my adulthood. When being in relationships I’ve had a gut feeling that the guy was cheating. I would ask and he would lie but my gut wouldn’t let up! My body always have let me know when something wasn’t right in my life but I just didn’t know how to trust and believe in myself. I had a problem with calling others telling them all my business just for them to confirm what I felt/knew and just for me not to listen and end up hurt in the end. I’m 31 yrs old just learning how to trust myself. My new way of living and thinking is “When your gut tells you something, listen to it!”

I know I have an issue with anger because I quickly snap on my family when they don't listen to me. I find it very hard to get over because my family actually refuses to listen to me or respect my feelings, needs, etc. I constantly feel alone when I'm with my family. They also only react with anger whenever I have tried to adress their behaviours. This has led me to combating their anger with more anger or else they will always be angry. It feels like if I don't get more angry than my family is, they will never listen to or respect anything I have to say. It frustrates me that this approach works because I really hate being angry and yelling.

this hits hard, i'm an aspie so i really only have 1 friend from high school who initially only asked if we wanted to see movies with him, then it was hanging with him after school/weekend which kept going after school ended and i started working (travelling to him also avoided chores at home given by my parents) BUT i only saw how dysfunctional the friendship was after i moved out and he started calling almost every day for trifles and wanted to hang out EVERY weekend. me being an aspie also means that i can go weeks without contact (outside of work) and not be bothered by it, but he seems to always crave contact, then my twin brother told me that he suspected him of being a narcissist and that his (late diagnose) asperger is possibly a misdiagnosis
