One of my closest friends in primary school was also the person who bullied me the most. While I thankfully have learned to detect such dynamics and so don't have such relationships any more in the present, it was a prelude to many failed ones in the interlude.https://twitter.com/christinaemoss/status/963264409840824320 …

Same. I didn't learn to have healthy friendships until adulthood.

It took me way longer. Way way longer. Still recovering.

I wish you luck in learning how to select healthy people to share your life with and build healthy relationships with good boundaries with them. It's hard to learn. (I will probably always be learning this).

small or large ways or behave as if I'm disposable or "less". This is one of the main reasons I struggle to stay in contact even with really great people from the past. People have trouble seeing and accepting new aspects of people they know/knew well.

Obviously people I've met since I've changed and become a lot stronger, so anybody after 2016, don't have an old me to reflect on or base their behaviour on.

I think this is one of the hugest stumbling blocks when recovering. Your support network can't actually support you because you're not "you" anymore.
