writes:So my mom was addicted to crack for about 6 years and she was in and out of hospitals, rehab, prison..and my life. She also had a baby in that time who I knew for less than a year before he was taken away. Since then, I haven't been able to relate to anyone or get close to even my 'best friend.' It feels like the simplest revelations or events in my life should be kept to myself, almost like my lips are sealed. My friend keeps asking me to open up and tell her about my day, but literally it feels like I can't. So I just tell her nothing happened, my life is boring. I find it incredibly difficult to relate to anyone and find myself people watching just so I know how to react in certain situations, because I have no idea on my own.My point is, that I seem to be in a downward spiral. Are some people meant to be alone? Is trust and intimacy overrated? Reply to this Question

 i am sorry to hear you've been having such a rough time. its little wonder that you don't feel able to let anyone get too close again. you are afraid of being let down again and of losing someone so the easiest way to avoid this is to not let anyone in.
let your best friend help you, talk to her. if will help you if you talk about your life problems with someone and it will also help her to understand why have been distant with her
