I wasn't diagnosed with this, but in my life, it seems like everyone wants to be my mother.
I think it' s because I act like a baby---always insecure and needy. I do this without trying. I want to stop! How? B. __________________ The idea of a soul mate is an ILLUSION.

You post reminds me so much of myself. I am always very needy, etc too
Even my husband, I fear, feels more like my care-taker than my companion. __________________ It is a miracle that I have survived thus far and I strive to help others see miracles in every day life.

yes, Dane acts very motherly toward me.

I think a lot, if not all, of us, attract certain types, whether they are good or bad for us. You seem to be saying that they type you attract is not good for you, in the way you like to be treated. Well, I'm not sure why this is, since I don't know you, but if you have correctly answered your own question, then it would seem that you need to work on strengthening your independence and reducing your insecurities. You can do this, by challenging yourself with exercise, a fairly demanding job, taking charge of your life until you are in a position that you don't need others. Then you should attract less dominating people. You seem to have good insight and to be willing to admit to your weaknesses. That is a big step. Caring About You - billieJ

Also, therapy seems to reinforce, for me dependency issues.

One way I attract maternal/parental people in my life is by making the diclosure of problems I am having the focus of conversations.

I am the total opposite... I am needy and insecure and want people to take care of me but I always seem to meet the types who want to leave me so I always end up all alone

psychee.... I don't know, I guess I am just vulnerable and some people can sense that so they first pretend to care then after they get what they want, they're gone, maybe I'm just being paranoid

I think I got it wrong the first time around. rescuers = maternal. No, I don't think you're paranoid. Sounds to me that you're coming accross people that take advantage of your vulnerability, is this correct? |

yes, psychee, I am moving away from talking to everyone about problems; cause then ppl think they have to "fix" me.
