I do apologize to people, but people only put up with so much. What I have typically experienced (QUITE often) is that, when they get fed up with me, they are just gone. No explanation, nothing. My best friend from school, I think, is doing this. She just suddenly stopped responding to my texts. I sent her one a few days ago apologizing for being an azz and telling her that I realized I was being selfish in my demands for her time. Nothing. Not even a "Yes, you're right. I need space." Nothing. She still has me as a friend on FB, and I'm thinking I should just give her space. What angers me is that I've had at least 5 people do this to me. Probably more. I know I can be overwhelming when I spiral. And I'm not pushing blame onto the other person for my actions. However...I do think it's crappy to just fall off the face of the earth on a friend, especially when you know they have abandonment issues. When someone is overstepping bounds on me, I state my boundaries plainly and without malice, and ask for the space I need. I don't know if it's just a coincidence, and because I tend to get into friendships with the same types of personalities (who don't do conflict), or if I'm just that bad. I feel like a shytti person because of it, though.
