I dropped out of socializing as a troubled teen. Then I got a reputation for being irresponsible. One thing led to another until, lookout Louise, I’m one of the szs.

I compulsively push people away, figuratively speaking. I don’t realize it at the time, but later I figure it out.

I’ll reject you before you have a chance to reject me
I am a Major believer in it too.
Fear of rejection plus ego.
I feel I am so important,
that no one can or should reject me.
I always wondered will I stay the same or can I change.

This is one of the posts I can most identify with in my 25 years of posting on the schizophrenia.com forums!!
I get very anxious when people get too personal. It triggers a ‘The more they know about me the more they’re likely to reject me’ feeling. I then will break off contact. It’s a low self esteem/self worth thing. Very much to do with the bullying related trauma.
I won’t ever reject you @PinCushion soz you had a hard time as a teen. I had a terrible time when I was younger.
I don’t let people get close to be because I fear rejection. I was rejected by my mother when I was 9 so its had a huge impact on me. I’m diagnosed with attachment disorder also.
