Deneb,
I am new here, but over the past couple of months I have seen posts from you ranging from your dating and feelings of rejection to threatening to commit suicide (including one off the bridge in SF which scared the crap out of me as a new member).
Are you in weekly or bi-weekly therapy with a therapist who is trained in DBT?
Many people have problems. That is why many people come to psychobabble.
But what is important is (1) an awareness of the issues and (2) finding the right therapy and therapist to help.Your rejection/punishment behaviors can be helped with DBT which is a scientifically proven therapy for people who have borderline personality disorder or borderline tendencies. It really works and helps you learn to break the cycle.
Many people with borderline or borderline tendencies have a very difficult time in relationships if they have not had proper therapy. If they are not pushing people away or scaring people away, they are smothering them.
I suggest you read the books "I Hate You, Don't Leave Me" and "Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder"I don't know you. I am simply responding to what I have seen posted recently. But the responses you have are very characteristic and can be helped.
