Has anyone gotten this feeling before? For a long time my life was forced to go in a direction I didn’t want it to but I had no choice but to passively accept and deal with where I was being lead. So I think it might be a learnt behavior. I know this isn’t a relationship_advice thing but it feels relevant. (Fyi I am not a vulnerable girl being exploited, but perhaps advice applicable to them might help me too)

    Being worried about the present keeps the mind from focusing on the deeper stuff, at least for me.

    I’ve self sabotaged many relationships this way. It’s kind of similar to functioning better under pressure in my case, and it could be due to a whole host of psychological underpinnings like feeling undeserving or being acclimated to struggle. I feel out of my element when things are going well a lot of the time.

    Thanks for coming to my therapy session.
