I sure have people I can externalize my shit to, don't get me wrong, but it's not really fair for me. I'm a HSP, and my parents, especially mother, was not attuned to that at all, she is a narcissist, and she exploited me for her own reputation. But loads of people have that, survived that and became healthy and well adjusted adults. Somehow, I haven't. I get told I'm too kind, too gentle, too giving, too understanding, but a lot of people are like that, so I'm again the one who didn't adjust right. I think I have never been strong enough for this planet, I've always been sad, lost and overwhelmed, I've always (minus the last two years) felt lonely and unloved. But I cannot blame others for my lack of adjusting, for my lack of strength and willpower. I could just as easily blame my partner for me being happy the last two years and not being miserable. But is that his 'fault'? I don't know, maybe I was just supported enough to be strong and happy during that time.
I don't know what others have contributed, in reality. Sure, attachment theory states that my parents, especially mother as primary care taker is to blame, but she was equally shit to my brother and he adjusted more or less well.. So is it her? Or is it me?
