I totally identify with this article. Thank you so much for posting it. It makes me feel less like an odd duck. Hi Renita, At HealthyPlace, we want everyone to know that they're not alone -- no odd ducks! I find it very hard these days to be friendly on a personal level with anyone. Not because they'll leave or die.

It's because I am afraid of being verbally attacked or criticized for the person I am. This is why I isolate myself a lot. When I long for the way I used to be more trusting, take risks. In I met someone through a group I was going to. There was an immediate mutual attraction, but we were just friends. When I realized I was beginning to have strong feelings for him. I told him that I cared about him while talking at a coffee shop. And all he said was, "I know and looked away.

One night we talked and were going to meet at the group and he never told me he met somebody else. I found out during the group! I felt so alone and humiliated, but never said a word to him about it and I even managed to wish him well later on the phone. It never lasted between them, but he told me he just wanted to be friends, but I liked him so much that I did some ridiculous things to try to get him to like me in that way again.

The problem was I couldn't even try to hold his hand. Because I was too afraid of being hurt like I was in other relationships. One evening I called him, to invite him for New Year's Eve but he was busy and when he called the next day. I ignored his phone calls. A week later I called to see how he was and he refused to talk to me. The saddest part of this all is I still think about him and want to call him again And I haven't been able to let anyone get close to me since As for girlfriends I had a good friend for 14 years and I began to make changes in my appearance and lost some weight.

I met someone who was very attractive and she was jealous even though she was married. We would set up a time to go out and she never showed up twice!

I talked to her about how I felt and she apologized, but when I told her some good news I had. She wasn't happy for me. It was at this point I realized she was never a "true" friend in the first place. As long as I had struggles in my life, and problems with my appearance she had no problem being my friend, but when I changed and life was getting easier. She had no time for me. After that experience I started to take note of the people I chose for friends and why.

And I've learned to listen to my true feelings when I first talk to someone, but these days it's even harder to find a good female friend After fearing closeness and touch for over half my life, I have a new best friend that I am allowing myself to get close to.

We hug and even took a nap together today. It wasn't anything sexual, just two people lying next to one another in a bed. It felt comforting to be close to someone and know that I was safe.
