Rose76, have you every really explored this by yourself or with the assistance of a therapist? Is attracting those incapable of true friendship somehow related to the avoidance trait/disorder? (

The support is both a relief and a threat -- that's familiar. I've withdrawn from life. Sometimes, though, I ask myself whether the withdrawal was inevitable.
