I Push People Away

I Push People Away

By: rae16
Written on May 7th, 2012
I have a big problem with pushing people away.... I have huge trust issues and when they come close to me I end up pushing them away when I don't want to...I just don't want to get hurt like I did in the past... and I push them away so I won't be sad when they walk out my life... I don't want to push them away... I want to keep them... I'M dumb... I'M tired of being scared... I don't want to shut the door to the world...I want to walk in it and be able to get hurt and say oh well... but idk.

      Yeah.. I do. I am not a very trusting person anymore. That's just how it is...
      I regress backwards just at the thought of letting someone in. I am not a very good people person...

      You must really trust your big sister. That's cool to have someone you can trust. She must be quite a person...

    Can i mention that you sometimes do the push people away as sometimes they do give you a word that press on a bad button on your heart and make you like i should dump them before dump me. I know what you mean as been and still just can't have anyone around me for what i have been into. I know this as knowing that giving a space between you and other people is a good way as you don't have to let anyone get that close to you, or it is the way i do as i don't want anyone to feel pity on me or even do like give me a hand as i help myself with myself. You just try giving space so don't lose friends and i wish that real friends get into your life and not a take advantage people who will fake friendship and stab you in back when can't have what they want.

    I push people away without even trying or realizing that I am doing it until it is too late. I am just like you. Scared of being hurt but not wanting to be alone in the world. Tired of being hurt but tired of not having anyone. It is something I am trying to work on for myself and something I hope isn't impossible to fix. Its hard to let people in, I know. But maybe you should think about the good people in your life and slowly let them in and take a chance. I've learned that people make mistakes and you will be hurt eventually, in some form, by everyone you are close to, but that doesn't mean you have to push them away.
