I don't know how to maintain friendships
Relationship Stress / by livinlifejb
Last post

...See more I have no problem making them. but once I've established them, its like an instinct to destroy them kicks in, as does the overwhelming desire to not do that. I don't know how to communicate, and I feel like I always have to try and anticipate what any possible reaction to anything I say will be. This is honestly one of the things I struggle with the most. And right now, I'm completely alone, because I ahve either destroyed my relationships or driven people away. And I'm not used to having nobody. But for some reason, I do the same thing and make the same mistakes every time, no matter what approach I take. And its come to the point where I kind of believe that it will always end that way and then end up going into a new friendship like "Well this will be nice while it lasts, however long that is this time..." Part of me thinks...maybe I'm not meant to have friends? Maybe I wasn't built for relationships?
