Pushing Away

I tend to push away people that I love, not because I don't care anymore, but because I want to know if they care enough to come after me. I know that sounds weird, but I've always done that. I feel like I need to yell at people for them to get what I'm saying, and I feel like if I'm too mean, or too honest that I'll make them hate me and then they'll push me away. I think that's why I'm so nice to people, I'm afraid that if I'm anything less, then they won't like me anymore.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Because I feel like I'm the only one going through this.

feel the exact same way... its like we push people away to see who will come running back to us. even tho all we really want is for them to take us in our arms and comfort us.

yeah i know what it feels like, your not alone

you're definately not alone... i know exactly what you mean btw..it's so bad because sometimes...if you keep at it for long enough they will leave you. which is the worst becuase you just want them near like what amy said. there's nothing i can say to try and tell u to not push ppl away but its in you to do that.
good luck and take care x x x
