Savior complex

[prairiedog70]

I have more than a little bit of a savior complex. I've known this about my self for quite a while. It shows in so many aspects of my life. My friends. My work. My relationships. Especially my relationships. I don't know why or where it comes from. Maybe I'm just naturally compassionate and empathetic. Maybe it's because I was raised

Sorry you are having a bad time.

While you may be right about patterns and stuff, don't overthink it too much. Breakups are always a fine time to sit around thinking "Oh, What is Wrong with Me". Self-bludgeoning is also a negative pattern.

Thank you, But this post really isn't about self-bludgeoning or self-pity or self-blame. It's about self-realization. I'm not blaming myself for getting hurt. I'm trying to figure out *why* it keeps happening - why I keep finding "that kind of girl" and figuring out what I can do to change it in the future. It might not sound like it, but this is supposed to be a positive post. I need to figure some things out for myself, even if it's simply a matter of, "don't leave myself so vulnerable in the future."

well, okay, me and aboxofeyes will feed you pie and get you drunk at Christmas and read your tarot cards and generally fall down in the puddle of the world. And there will be peace on earth, and God bless us every one.
