Pull away from everyone, friends, loner, abuse

I have 0 friends. Not that I really want any ...

I push people away. I will purposely pull away from people because I don't want to get burned :( or for them to find about my history of child abuse/messed up family life that I have. Is this normal??

    Yeah, it's normal. My ex-girlfriend is 100% like that, she's really amazing but because of what she's been through it's hard to get close to her and hard for her to allow anyone to. You might grow out of it, you might not. The main thing is you don't need to be ashamed/embarassed of having a bad past, because often if you open up to someone you'll end up making a great friend. And of course there's gonna be some losers out there that will burn you, but that's life. It's never easy. :)

    Alright well ItDuz learn how to spell (:
    It's different. I mean that in a nice way. But anyway I think it's a phase that you will eventually grow out of. And all the things that your going through would be much easier with a friend to help you through it. And personally I know what you mean you don't want to be burned but if you never take a chance you'll never know how good things can actually be if you want them too.
    Oh and I will certianly be your friend :D
    But really I will

    It's normal to feel that way after abuse until u decide you want to do or be someone different. It's work but you don't have to be unhappy and alone forever. Decide to be happy. Then seek out help, a good book or support groups.

    You can do this.

    If you don't actually want any friends, then I would say it would be a normal conclusion for that quest that you have none.

    If you're happy, then go with it. Some people are happier alone.

  • you had a bad experience. so have i so have many people i not saying it's not important by any means it may have been tramatizing but if you never let anyone in that is going to be the only memory you have. do you only want to think of the terrible childhood you had? don't you wish you could of had a perfect childhood? im assuming you do who wouldn't, so why not take charge of your own life don't let your adult life suck too because you were afraid. lifes too short, you could wake up tomorrow with cancer, and not have anyone to turn to because you shut them all out. people want to love you, they're not all bad and you'll never find the good ones with out trying

    I think you need someone in your life who really cares about you n' you have to try your best not to push them away or else you're gonna be alone forever, trust me, you don't want that, everybody needs someone to trust, to love, to depend on.
