nope.
maybe your relationships are too demanding. I don't have any friends I would want to talk to everyday (workplace doesn't count). That sounds exhausting. You know it's not all or nothing, right?
Right. They don't seem to have this "need for space", they accept it when I ask for it, but they often misunderstand. They think I don't care about them that much or I'm antisocial, so they slowly let me go, and I'm alone again, so I look for new people, and I suffocate again. I always have to explain and show my feelings (and it isn't natural for me). I'm not satisfied until I reach a certain closeness with friends (I'm talking about important friendships, not the people I talk to on the bus xD), but after I made it, their demands become stressful. I realize it when I'm too involved to quit. I don't want these friendships to finish just because of that. Nowadays finding someone caring and true is rare.
Another alternative is to have lots and lots of friends and acquaintances so that it always seems like something new.
That's what I usually do, and it works but... After a while I let the relationships I don't really care of finish and I need to make friends again. And in the end it's like having no friends, it's like those one who f*ck with everyone but nobody really love them.
I dunno... It might be a type/temperament difference, but I just feel like if you feel that your friends are "limiting" you, they HAVE to be somewhat smothering. Because otherwise - if they are pretty regular/chill friends who you aren't joined at the hip with - what on earth would stop you from making a few new friends but keeping the old ones as well?
I'm really interested in this, actually.
Thank you for your reply. I don't know if they do something that annoys me... Actually, I'm trying to make new friends, but something inside of me tells me I'm not finding new important friends because of them. I have trouble keeping relationships over time, 'cause I'm so sure of what I feel that I don't think others need proves, but they do, because I show only a part of my inner world, I don't let others understand me totally. I have to make an effort to show how much I care, so I can't handle too many relationships and I let die the ones I care less. Yes, I could find someone that is more important than the actual ones but it's one in a million and, 'till I'm not alone, I'll never really try. The problem is it has already happened. I always think I have found someone who won't ever tire me, but then it ends. There is 1 exception, a friend I know since kindergarten. I recently met a boy with the same problem, sometimes we talk but I don't think we are friends, though I'm interested in him. Ok I wrote too much, but I hope I explained well.
