they end up insecure, low self esteem, trust issues, possessive in relationships ... always think people will go from them anyway so they try and push them away first, never think they are worthy of love or affection or friends, usually dislike or hate themselves, can't take compliments ..... the list is endless.

Wow! JInnyann, you just described me, and much better than I could have put into words! As I read the opening question, I kept thinking, "Where to begin!??"
Also, yes, it's good to have a safe harbor like PC with people who do understand.
I teach middleschool age kids, and have noticed that most of the girls have a lot more self confidence than I ever had at that age, or even up into my 20'sl! I had to work really hard to gain some kind of positive self-image, acquired in my mid 40's!
