Is it normal to find supportive relationships outside of therapy? I don't ever seem to. The only times I get support are when I pay for it. While I was in group it seemed the only people I felt reasonably close to were in my group therapy, which is an odd environment, because you can only meet in group, and not outside. The reason behind it makes sense, but I need a supportive environment outside therapy. I don't think the group thing really helped my relationships. I don't think talk or process therapy does **** all, really, as I'm still stuck years later.

People often talk of supportive friendships and family members and I always wonder how this happens.
