I feel that way somewhat. I find it very hard to make friends and i always feel like I'm not being true to myself in order to be in a relationship with someone else. I'm not sure if supposed to be like that or not. [ Reply | More

The only way to feel better is to deal with the past. I have the all the same issues starting in childhood and ending with a physically and mentally abusive husband.
