Hi Anita,

Sorry to trouble you again. There was this guy, whom I recently cut contact with because he made me feel worthless and exhausted. In the starting of our friendship, he always used to say good things to me like ,’Don’t listen to others do what you like’ etc. So I thought he was an emotionally matured person and started believing that everything he said would be correct because there is no way he would go wrong. But as time passed I observed that he always puts me down and makes me feel worthless. He used to take me for granted and whenever I shared any of my problems with him, he used to coldly brush it off and say that I was complaining. I had few surgeries in the past and the pain which I experienced during those times was intense. There were times when I wished to die because the pain was so unbearable. But whenever I shared these thoughts with him, he used to say that I was exaggerating and that many others also have surgeries, nothing special about me. This broke me from inside and the worst thing is that I myself started believing that I was exaggerating and complaining. I started disregarding my own feelings due to self-doubt. I started realising that I put people on a pedastal and always think others are correct and I am wrong. What do I do in such situations?
