What's the point in living when all you attract in your life are people who use you and abuse you, and care nothing for your human needs and emotions? I am unfortunately addicted to people like that.

If you feel it is an addiction, then take whatever steps necessary to break that hold on you. Make peace with the reflection in the mirror and learn to love yourself...when we love ourselves we are less likely to let others abuse us. Might take baby steps at first, but it's still forward movement. In Peace

(((Horsecab)))It's not too late to change and become more assertive. It would also be helpful to discover why you're attracted to these kind of people. It's not too late to learn new ways.

I recently heard a good quote: "Life sucks, but the alternative is unacceptable."

(((((Horsey))))) Dear horsey, I'm sorry your dealing with this, I think Cathrine put it well when she said you must learn to love yourself, I struggled with the same issue, until I learned to love myself. Don't be too hard on yourself, if you feel this is a problem in your life explore why it keeps happening, if possible please talk to a therapist about it. I always care my friend, and you can always pm me, you have such a big heart and you are a great friend, please be gentle with yourself as you heal from your hurt. Always here for you Love Typo |

Maybe you can explore this with your t? We usually attract the kind of people we grew up with. As we become more self aware we learn the truth. What we want and do not want...and we learn and explore our past to make our future better. I use to attract abusive people. I found a lot of abuse in my past. Once I learned what abuse was, if I encounter abuse, I leave those people in the dust. I also can't go into places like Walmart because unfailingly I saw/heard abuse and it triggers me. This wasn't a one time either...it was EVERY SINGLE TIME. I think it is sad because they have a pretty state of the art "security system" which prevents theft but the kids are still not safe. Good place to start is educating yourself about abuse and reflect how it has affected your life. You may be repeating old patterns.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
