Pushing People Away [Trigger?]

I do know how it is.

And, I'll remember that. And mine is always open as well.

I push people away too - in fact, I'm too afraid to actually get close to anyone because I have such a track record of driving them off. It has helped me to remember that you can't really be #1 to anybody - and as difficult as that is, it's the truth. People don't latch on the way that we do. They are concerned with how they are feeling, what is going on in their life, etc.

It's hard. I feel very alone most of the time, but you have to just power through. And count the people who at least appreciate some aspect of you - although you might not be #1
