I don't like feeling sad.   I don't like feeling angry.   I don't like feeling taken advantage of.   I don't like feeling broken.   These are too common experiences in my life when I'm alone.   They're also too common experiences in my life when I'm not alone.   The commonality is not having sufficient (or any) emotional support

one of the huge things I learned in shrinkland was to start asking people what they wanted, the golden rule just does not work very well when it comes to predicting what other people really want and need. Asking them doesn't always work either but it tends to work much better than guessing or doing what works for you. Wish I'd figured that out much earlier.

So...

Is there anything I can do from 2K miles away?

It would be good if more people realized they had to ask for or answer about what they wanted if they want their desires to be met. A female coworker of mine once was grumbling about her bf doing something wrong... she didn't like it when a male coworker and I said that it was her fault because she never told her guy what he was doing wrong.

I know that relationships don't work out well for me, but what I want out of life seems to require that I have relationships. It is annoying.

In sum, not so much.
