everybody is born with a certain amount of fresh neural circuitry that gets eaten up by bad actors, and when it is all gone, hardly any more regenerates.

Some folks feed the toxic veins of their being, poisoning others, while other folks feed their healthy, nutrient rich side and bring about healing and wholesomeness to those they meet.

Like nightshade, the toxic ones need be well avoided.

Obviously I don't know why things happened to you the way they have and maybe there's no reason just pure bad luck, but sometimes people unconsciously seek out relationships with those who feel familiar in some way because of childhood experiences.

I ended up in a very bad relationship with a guy who, on insight, treated me very much like I was treated in the home I was raised in. It was only when I started to heal the issues that I was drawn to healthier people.

Sometimes, though, it's just life happening and it's rubbish :(

I worked through them with a really good counsellor. I was lucky as I had a lot of free counselling through an agency due to a situation I was in. I also did meditation and read a lot of books on spirituality. Self-awareness is key really and seeing a counsellor helps you become more aware of yourself in how you relate to others. You do have to see a good one though and for it to be a good fit.

I've had a lot of experience of people who like to make promises but just don't follow through.

I have a childlike quality to me and I tend to trust people when they say they're going to do something. I can't even begin to tell you the amount of time I must have wasted just waiting around for people only to be let down.

I've sort of learned as I've got older to just take what people say with a pinch of salt.

I wouldn't say I've been damaged by this but I do kick myself about it sometimes.

Time can heal most wounds …… little therapy can sometimes help it along , I think .
And cruel joke .. in my case , if could share highlights of my life ..Might be considered a very unjust understatement.
But still means Inspite of it all , you just might be a survivor .

Thanks, most of these things happened in the last two years.

I have a friend who does active listening, is that much different to counselling?
I did put myself in for counselling a while ago but it took 8 months to see someone, then it didnt seem like it was much better than A.L. maybe it was mediocre counselling?

I must give off some vibes im not aware of. It was much worse when I was a teenager, but I try to be stoic around people which works....unless I make the mistake of trusting someone then the guard comes down

My luck probably isn't the best around, but then, if you come out the other end of things alive, endure things, maybe it could be good luck? I ponder this often. If I can still see and feel the good things when I've seen and felt so many bad things, then I guess I can consider myself a bit of both. Lucky and unlucky.

I need to come out of the other end :)

Predatory people actively seek out and are drawn to more vulnerable personalities. As people on the spectrum, we can be a magnet for such people. One of those love interests sounded like they were lovebombing you. Being so intense early on could be a red flag. Maybe it would help to read more about such personalities so you can spot the red flags? I'm sorry to hear what you have suffered.


Thanks, I did read about them but still didnt see what was coming 8O
I was thinking I had done something wrong on that date but after posting about it here, I can see it was a setup.

Total agreement.
Psychopaths and narcissists seek out vulnerable people.
They enjoy the mindf**k.

they enjoy the attention

ego wars....

welcome to the human race...
