I don't keep in touch with people too - I push them away without realising or I keep my distance, or I get clingy and they run.

Hence, offline, I'm super isolated without any friends.

Honestly, I think it will take a lot of consistent , real world "corrective emotional experiences" with various people to be able to develop "earned secure attachment".

Just my opinion though.
Well thank you for your opinion , I appreciate it😀 Yes, it's quite tiring... One minute I feel like we have a great connection then the next, not so much. It wears me down! Sometimes I think that my therapist is messing with me to provoke me a bit. Then I say to myself " oh that's ridiculous , one step". Yes, very tiring!! Thanks again 😊
