I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this. But why? A friend, my only friend, more of a family to me than family, was trying to help me outta crisis tonight. And I pushed, and pushed, and pushed. Resulting in, of course, her "hanging up" on FB messenger. I take full blame for it. How much is one person supposed to take? She didn't say, but I'm sure I left her crying. I'm such a, well, you know...

I'm sorry that happened. I push people away all the time too. When I get really bad I isolate myself and refuse to contact anyone for a while. I literally become trapped in my mind like the song. It's made my best friend upset sometimes but she understands it isn't her fault and that I am not t th ing to be mean.
Thanks for this!

I push people away in the past. I regret not getting the help that I desparately needed. I did it because I thought it was the right thing to do, it was all for them. I wanted people to have good memories of me. Now, I am lonely, I don't have any close friends. My best friends live fun fulfilled lifes while I feel miserable. I push people away to this day, it has been 15 years.

Go get help my friend, talk to a psychiatrist and open up to somebody. Before it is too late...
Thanks for this!

I'm always pushing people away. I think that I am scared of getting hurt.

If she understood...and I'm sure she did. Then maybe it wasn't JUST you pushing that cause her to have to protect herself the way she did.
She probably didn't give up, she maybe needed a break. Maybe you made her cry, but she chose to stick around long enough to see if she could help and to let you know that she's there.
Thanks for this!

She did reappear later in the morning. Told me twice how terrible her night was, because of me. And she was right. Love her dearly, so will never put her through that again. Thanks to those who commented.

I also think sometimes it happens because we feel we don't "deserve" help.. sorry this happened.
Thanks for this!

Sometimes we all need someone to lean on. If we're lucky, that someone understands us enough to stick it out for as long as they can.

Give and take, both ways.

I'm glad you're doing better today.
