Whitney, it was very difficult when this happened. All I am doing is to be patience, give time to this person and deep down I feel we are still friends like we used to be. May be it's just better to stay away from each other. After sometime we will be together again. Something like this?? Good thing is now I am not confused. :)
When they messaged me and sent a b'day wish. It made me feel good.

Thank you and yes, others have posted nice ideas, insights & support. Please feel free to share what you want to say. :)
:hug:
 
Jaret, I am so sorry this happened to you. It is like being suckerpunched. It is unexpected and comes out of nowhere and catches you off guard. It is really painful and it hurts. It speaks more about them and who they are.

You did not deserve that at all. People will never cease to amaze you. Out of the blue they can turn on you so fast and attack.

If it knocked you down, it was intended to knock you down. It is about their unresolved issues. It says more about who they really are than about you.

You do not need this person in your life at all if they made you feel so bad. I have alot more to say about this, but want to keep this short. You did not deserve that at all. My heart goes out to you. Big hugs.
 
Jaret, I feel for you. I hate it when people do this.

Having borderline personality disorder as well as PTSD, I have experienced this kind of hostility as well. Being called an attention seeker, a liar, manipulative until it came to a point where I just did not trust anyone anymore about anything.

It is horrible having your feelings invalidated or having someone tell you you are not sick even though you are. I have also had this happen to me many times, in the end I just stopped telling people anything personal about myself.

I have recently trusted someone and disclosed something to them. I expect nothing except a hard kick in the teeth to be honest. I don't expect anything else. If they accept me it will be a pleasant surprise.

Worse was with my mother, she basically told me all my memories were a lie! Luckily I had a witness to one event whos jaw dropped to the ground as they had witnessed it as well, so they were also being called a liar. It came to the point where I never talk to my family ever about anything. It is so sad when you have noone you can trust, and you feel so alone because everyone stigmatises you. It can also put you on a spiral of self destruction.

I no longer talk to my family about past events, and am reluctant to ever disclose things to anyone other than my partner or on this forum because of the way people react. It makes me feel very sad that so many of us feel like this.

Hi gizmo,

Yes, I did feel knocked down and it was all of sudden. Sometimes I have picked up feelings that they use people to learn something from them. Like learning at others' expense. I didn't feel good. So I completely let go and I am ready to move on from this person. I want to move on with positive mindset and feelings. Opposite way will hurt me much. At the moment we aren't talking that much, so that's relief.

Just recently on my birthday's night, a spiritual healer called me attention seeker, too needy and pleasing others. She came on my wall and began to tell me this all stuff. She asked me did I tell my friends about my problems? I gently let her know I am honest with my friends as I am honest with you. Then she didn't thought to comment on it, but sent inbox messages. My god, I couldn't believe what she said and it was out of blue. Intended to target me and proving themselves like they are always right. It upset me for whole night. I couldn't sleep properly. I felt caring, now she is uncaring all of sudden? Didn't wish me b'day wish, tells about her mind's state. Yes gizmo, you're right it talks about their intentions and their unresolved issues.

I could sense she is trying to imitate my past friend who left me. It's a long story, But I will tell you in short. I loved female friend long ago and we had to be parted for some important reasons. She really cared for me and she left me so I can concentrate on my life's improvement and can invest more heart. It took more than 1 year to understand why she left me. She never meant harm to me.

She taught me lessons of kindness. She was professional counselor, but she was friend to me and never took any charge from me. We talked for two years. Those days I was being lazy and I was in her love, but not working with her. She thought it will be better for her to go out from my life. It was very hard moment, but at the moment I can speak two kind words because of her company, spending moments with her and sharing life with her. I will never forget this lady's help. It was all unconditional. She really believed me until the end of our friendship. It angered me for a while, why this spiritual healer is trying to copy her. no way she can't be like her. We talked a lot, then what made her think I am excuse maker and trying to draw an attention. When person is asking for help, it's not called as attention seeking. It is just they will try to request others to get some help.

Granted, this spiritual healer gave me bigger insights, but accusing me of making excuses and not working properly was not from her. It sounded like she is voicing someone else. She knows I am suffering from emotional abuse from parents and has trauma in my mind. She expects me to get this done fast as soon as possible. This healer has all tools, but after listening this wrong things from her. I have lost trust for her. It's all was on FB. FB has bad history, so I am not surprised either. I have decided not to do FB thing at all. I don't trust getting help from there. I will keep to my friends, I have some good friends there. So I will talk with them only. I joined this spiritual healer because she invited me in her Facebook group six months ago.

I remember one thing, when I joined that group. I told them, I don't feel safe with world anymore. They talked and behaved nicely. After a week she told me she hopes I am feeling safe and good in her group. that sounded too quick to me. It was my mistake that I continued talking with her despite having some bad feelings for that group.

More over this spiritual healer was telling me to stop looking for other allies. what is this? :confused:

I am going to discontinue friendship with this spiritual healer. It sounds more dangerous to me. She has hurt me much.

Thank you so much gizmo for your support and input. It helps. Big :hug:
 
Jaret, I've only just seen this thread so just wanted to send you a hug (((((Jaret))))).

Thank you Shellbell. I am feeling good at the moment. I do get many thoughts why I got such treatment from those friends with whom I was very honest and was feeling safe to share my private concerns.

I am controlling myself not to react to this all. I have reacted immediately in past and it was negative for me. I won't repeat this mistake. I will move on slowly. I understood one thing. There are very few people on this planet who will understand, going through PTSD is not child's play. Those who don't like to face their own fears, won't be much helpful with sufferers.

:hug:
 
((((Jaret))))) I know it hurts deeply. You are not a doormat nor a whipping boy. Not for anyone. It will take time to heal but you will heal. It always hurts deeply when it is out of the blue and you think all is well. People with issues explode at times. I have done it myself. I took a course in anger management and learned how to manage my anger. It is a dead end to further discuss anything with a person who attacks you. You can keep it superficial. Hello and goodby and that is it. I wish I could give you a real hug. Big hugs.

Anna, I am sorry that you had to go through this. it's horrible and feels like watching a nightmare. I hear you.

I think, most people don't value trust. they think it's just it is. :laugh: Some people like to make mockery of it. Don't know in which world they live in. Trust is big thing for anything in this universe. if you have trust for positive things, it will move you in positive direction. Now for this people, they put trust on bad things first. So they will see bad things in others. I am in agreement with gizmo. when something like this accusing others for nothing or for wrong things, it talks about their intentions and thoughts.

I wonder, why people don't trust fully? Is it too riskier?

Thank you for sending message. I appreciate you sympathized with me. It's good to know people understand such things. :hug:

You know gizmo, learning and controlling anger is big thing. Very big thing. Congratulations to you. :)

I do get angry, but I never throw it at anyone. Just it gets bottle up and takes a form of hatred towards the thing I am angry at. I do get angry at too much studying. Most time my parents forced me to study even when I didn't want to study. Right now, I get angry and it harms me much. Sometimes I hate studying. I am looking for this anger issue.

It's a dead with that spiritual healer. I tried to explain her and showed my progress. I have been going outside, could spot many negative things in mind and removed some of them. She helped me much. I am sure she didn't listen to this and she was not in mood to listen me. She was still stuck with her opinion that I am making needy and attention seeker. It sounded very irrelevant talk. So I told her it will be fine if she is leaving me. Immediately she told me goodbye.

I think she doesn't like to make mistake or if someone else exposes her issue/mistake. She doesn't like to admit it. She thinks she is always right.

I would take your real hug. Your post makes me feel good, I think your real hug would give me so much strength and relief my friend. Thank you so much. :hug:
