I'm don't believe this is true, but if you really feel its so, it's worth looking into, if only for your own piece of mind. I honestly believe it's probably much worse in your mind than it is in reality.
And also? I suffer from that sort of paranoia, and though I'm getting better, I usually walk around believing that everyone hates (or at least, really dislikes) me. It's from years of school drama, but it ain't so.
Had a similar thought Friday. Basically, I feel like anything/anyone I've wanted badly enough, has either slipped through my fingers, been yanked away, or has been something I was somehow barred from in the first place. Therefore, I am afraid to admit I want anything too badly for fear I'll never get it.
It's a sucky way to live. It's probably not even entirely true. But it's been true enough times that I end up screwing myself over everything else.
Yeah, I'm a lot like that too. I say we all get together at lwoodbloo's house, throw a party then sabotage it! (while playing the Beastie Boys song!) Okay, who's with me?
Do you mean friendships? Or relationships? Because I think that you certainly don't sabotage enough to drive me away! (unless you want me driven away, then that is BAD! ;-))
Do you see yourself doing it? Or only afterwards? Not sure how one learns to undo this habit. Hmmmm...... Good luck. Maybe recognizing that you do this is a good step?
for the same reason you can't believe a cute brunette is hitting on you at Mamma Mia's.... you're a better guy then you think. you spend too much time thinking 'i don't know why she like's me, i'm no good', when you're actually one of the best guys i know. *hops off soap box and heads back to satellite truck* I'll give you a shout when i'm home next week and i'll meet you in nyc for lunch. i can't wait for this fucking thing to be over.
