Do you think you’re emotionally needy?

Nyoop.

Which is why it frustrates me that it seems like a physical impossibility for others to give me the tiniest shred of support or acknowledgement.

You'd think that "Hey, could you maybe listen instead of judging for ONCE?" Is asking to sign over the deeds to their homes and souls.

No. But I know my friends wished I were even just a little.

It's tough being bound together with a person.
The one thing you know for certain. The one thing you know is true.
And then they just. Abandon us. Do you know how it feels to have the one, the only thing you love. Ripped away from you?

I try not to act out. Hahah.

Validation? No. I'm more on the invalidating end of the spectrum and that is where my unhealthiness that I need to work on is. Needy of support in the sense of emotional regulation, yes...but for good reasons.

Can I ask what good reasons you have for this? Thanks

Haha like your irony/humour. Btw I think it just depends on the person. Just keep looking until you find someone who's able to listen and don't try to get blood from a stone

IMO

You’re right. In the past couple of days I’ve realized I do have a very small group of friends who really care, but getting them show as much is a lot like pushing a boulder up a hill.

Throughout the first 25 years of my life (I'm 28) I was abused in various ways by a psychopath, and as a result I have Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder, otherwise known as Emotional Dysregulation Disorder. I'm an ultra-rapid cycler because I have 3-4 day cycles, so my emotions are all over the place. The aforementioned abuse also impacted my ability to develop proper emotional coping skills earlier on as most people do, I still have to learn them.

Most of the time I like to think of myself as independent, self-reliant and unattached, disconnected from others. And I am fine with that, serenity. But then 'suddenly', out of nowhere my emotions seem to shift. I become this lone wolf that has been rejected by their pack and is now left alone to die, if not killed by another animal -then of starvation.
However, this rejection is imaginary and everyone is still there.
