I don't know how or why it's like this. Sometimes I feel really close to people, friends or work colleagues or my therapist. Then stuff happens and I can see that I'm not really a part of their life at all, and it was all quite one sided or just in my head.

I have felt close to people at work and with people I volunteered with, but as soon as I stopped working or volunteering there, people instantly forgot me. It would probably be the same with my T. I think he forgets about me in between sessions, or he says stuff like 'all my clients are in my thoughts...' whatever that means. I think it means I'm not special to anyone, but I wish I was.

Sorry you experience this feeling too, it is not nice at all.
It's like that with most people. You shouldn't fool yourself into thinking you are really close to people. You are just setting yourself up for disappointment. If you want a friend get a dog. If you are more independent get a cat.
