Losing friends on purpose

So when I was 12 I found out that my friends have been backstabbing me. Now I notice that everytime someone gets close to me, like almost a BFF, I avoid them so that we grow apart.

    yeah my "friends" did that to me at school too. thats the joys of teenage years. and i only just found out 10 years down the track some of the things said about me behind my back. i only have a couple of real friends left from my school days but i would rather only have a few true friends than a whole bunch of backstabbing assholes people who just want to use me.
    let your guard down a little, you dont have to completely trust someone straight away but over time and meeting a few different people, you will learn to trust the right people. good luck!

    yes, normal. i can relate. i'm with jahh though talk to a therapist or someone you can confide in so you can begin to move on. some therapists 'don't help worth shit' but the right one does.

  • Talk to a therapist. You have trust issues. I had em too from something similar.

    Once burned, twice cautious. I do the same thing. If someone tries to be friends I withdraw. I think my problem started in college when I was getting divorced. I never trusted people again.

    That's because people suck and friends don't last.
