Ok so I am not sure this actually exists with PTSD but sometimes I feel bad because I feel like I'm manipulating family or close friends just to get some support. And I just hate it because I would never want to try and take advantage of anyone....but I can't help feeling my dependency on people to help me feel less alone or whatever is manipulative. Just not sure how to deal with this and I am sure my close friend would try very hard to disagree that it's manipulative but even so I just feel horrid about it. I mean he bought me beer cause at the liquor store he went to all 40s and pints where no less than 5 dollars so he offered to get me a couple 6 packs that costed 10 dollars and I felt bad but I didn't want to refuse as I really wanted the beer. I just hate feeling like Im taking advantage of people because it's not my intention. I mean I even told my friend he didn't have to do that for me, but he got it anyways.
