I’m struggling with a situation in which a close friend seems to be pushing me away. This pattern keeps repeating. People only seem to talk to me when it’s convenient for them and it always makes me wonder if I’m doing something wrong. I don’t smother people like I used to, but people’s attitudes towards me constantly change.

Yet I always have this fear that I’ve done something wrong or people hate me. I don’t understand why people keep treating me like their friend and then rejecting me. It’s like people become obsessed with me and then shut me out. 

I’ve almost completely stopped having friends or interacting with others because of this. 

Is it the people I’m interacting with or is it me? 

Do I reach out to this person or just leave them be? I know my friend is also struggling with their mental health and sometimes people shut down but as a borderline it really upsets me. And I always hope I didn’t say something to offend them.
