i was thinking about this today and i wanna know if anyone does something similar.......i have very few friends because i'm extremely shy and a lot of people seem to hate me when they meet me......it's very hurtful really to realize this.....and i grow attatched to these few friends becasue i don't have many......anyway when i meet new people and they want to be friends with me i seem to have the need to test them......when i say this i mean i tell them straight out that i've been raped and that i have self injury problems......the idea behind it is so that if they decide to not be my friend then i can heal from it faster.....it's like i need ot test them and make sure that they can handle me before i become too close....anyone do something similar or know someone else who does this??? feel kind of alone....
Message me, if you ever need someone.
I used to do the same thing, but differently, i would just basically always be questioning eveything someone did, and why. It was not a good method. Now i get to know someone, and once i feel i have their trust, and i know they don't judge. I then tell them how i struggle with depression. But still only a few people know of my past. And those few people i trust with my life.
Honestly though, do what works for you. Best of luck

I do this also, but when I do only 1 in 10 will stay and eventually they will leave. It's something I've tried to stop doing, because I do not want to be alone. but I feel better when I do it, because I just cant trust easily. I always think this person I am talking to, becoming friends with, will eventually just screw me over,
I use to think I was alone, considering everyone else made friends so easily etc, im trying to come to terms with it though. I'm sure u will too.
