Eskie with all respect, if it affects other life areas and your wellbeing something is not right, "not having enough skill" is one thing but since I can remember I had trouble with this and now it is a big issue. I don't know how a therapist could help and I DO give them a chance. This is affecting my life. Most people have a few people they get along with, I have some trouble with most all ... I can't imagine living alone like this or anything because it just feels like I will be alone. And I can't be alone. If the only people I can get along with are "older people" who "take care of me", it is not good because they will grow old and what will I do then?
I was not taught these skills by a therapist or psychiatrist ... it feels like only a peer could teach me. Or a good therapist. I don't know why I am having so much trouble with these things ... It is really not normal that I seem to just end up alone all the time?
