Nostalgia floods- friendships I've let go of due to my emotional, over the top outbursts (clingy, needy, crying- no anger). Many still are my acquaintance, but keeps arms length. My old FP said "I hope with some distance, time, and space we can genuinely have a healthier friendship down the road." We went from texting every day to me now always hoping I'm not talking or being "too much" when we do chat occasionally. 

I apologized to an older FP for my behaviors. We text and chat now, but this person declined my request to hang out and hasn't initiated. 

My gut feeling is that action is the only way to actually show consistent change. &amp; while I can now see my problem behaviors, I also can't promise myself that won't pop up again. 

Any experiences with this?
