My partner has warned me that he will leave if I don’t stop arguing with him all the time. He’s right but my anxiety just can’t walk away from a conversation if I feel it’s not finished. Then it escalates. He is also tired of hearing about my issues. He is not a jerk. All my life I have lost almost every friend or partner due to my behaviour that is mostly caused by my illness, and of course my personality. I am distraught. Am I destined to be alone, and is this my fault?

Here on PC I’m ready to walk away. I feel I’m only doing the same thing, pushing people away and making myself unpopular. My suffering is great but I whine about it too much. Probably boring you all at best. No one here has hurt me. I just feel I’m not helping here and that everyone would be better off if I left.
I value your words. I hope you don't leave. If you do leave I hope you stick around long enough for me to say thank you for what you have shared. It made me feel less alone.

I'm sorry about the issues with your partner. I have trouble walking away too when I feel like there's more to say, but I've learned my timing sucks sometimes. What is the point of using your words when there are no ears to hear them the way you hoped? I find I usually have a chance to make my point more gracefully if I wait.
