Same here. Intrusive thoughts, obsession, preoccupation, addiction.

For me there was a connection, but I still don't know the nature of it. Friend-no. Mate-no. Parent-no. What? Yea the abandonment was lethal for me too. Seemed to confirm all my worst fears about being beyond hope, defective, forever alienated and excluded, intimacy = pain. I found the whole thing like a cruel practical joke, almost a mockery of my core wounds and shame.
