Yes...I can't keep friends because of this issue plus I want to stay home all the time that I turn down invitations to go out that eventually the invitations stop. I have one friend that I feel comfortable with and like to be around.

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.
