47......no female friends and can't seem to even get them to go shopping with me or even do girly things together. I give up. I do try. I hang out at the gym in a group and chat their chat. Someon suggested I come off as an alpha female and that keeps others at a distance. It could be an invisible wall I have up that puts out this vibe. Meet up groups are something my T suggested but anything I was interested in was 40 miles away like the small dog meet up.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
