I totally understand the whole thing when people say it gets better. I’ve definitely feel like I’m getting worse. I’m sorry you’re going through this

If you’ve just been waiting, that may be the problem. Before anyone in your life will change, or different types of people will enter your life, first YOU have to change and be different. You mention hating yourself and having anger issues. How about some self esteem work and anger management? It’s super hard to do this work, and even harder when we don’t feel supported, but the only person who can change anything is us. What steps are you taking to work on you? And if they’re not working, what about them isn’t working? This might lead to some new ideas. Some reading on codependency may also be helpful. At a certain point, we need to make peace with the fact that people around us are going to show up as they are, and we can’t control that. We can accept what they have to offer, or walk away.

@ocdaintit It sounds like you may be holding onto some relationships that are either no longer working or never worked. Why are you holding on? Why are you waiting for people to change who have no interest in changing? I think some healthy distancing may be in order. And some exploration of new spaces and people. Good people are out there. Don’t sit around waiting for people who have continually let you down to become them. They may never.
