I've learned to avoid people. I don't have friends. I refuse to trust people. Would I like to be trusting, happy and have friends? Of course. I'm 34 and have no friends. It sucks, but is a "shattered dream" I can handle. Most of the time.
Relationship starvation is real. It is a cause of anxiety, depression & loneliness. See Abraham Maslow. When humans have unmet needs for love & belonging, health suffers. No one is mentally ill. The circumstances of their life can cause all sorts of havoc when the human needs for relationship & emotional safety are not met. It is actually very difficult to find people who are safe to talk to. Even some therapists put the blame on the relationally starved person. It is very hard to keep reaching out when you have the expectation you'll just be attacked again in the form of judgement or being labelled or being verbally abused.
Thank you all for sharing many aspects of our minds
