Hi,
After losing a few people whom I thought would be in my life forever, I now struggle with interpersonal relationships a lot. I have trouble making new friends. I have trouble getting close. Once in a while someone comes along and I think they will be good for me. But I tend to get too attached too fast to such people. Knowing this, I deliberately try to keep it from progressing after a certain level.
I want to cultivate healthy attachments with new people as well as the people already in my life. How do you know whom to trust? How do you know who will be good for you? How do you NOT lose yourself if at some point they leave?
