I prefer the company of other people over being alone. I avoid getting too close to people – emotionally or physically. I worry my friendships and relationships won’t last.

I tend to undervalue myself. Most people I know are more interesting than I am. I often find myself thinking or saying negative things about myself.

People disrespect my opinions, time or decisions. The same negative situations keep showing up in my life, over and over again. I would feel better if some people in my life would change their behavior.

Just when I think I’m getting ahead, something happens and I’m back to where I was. I feel like I’m just getting by, day to day. There never seems to be enough time, energy, money, knowledge, love, etc.

I think about past mistakes and embarrassing things I’ve done. I feel bad for people who aren’t as fortunate as I am. There are a lot of things I should be doing, instead of what I’ve been doing with my life.

My enthusiasm for things often gets deflated when I hit an obstacle or challenge. My relationships are sucking the life out of me. I feel like I’m stuck in a dead-end job.
