Once you find them, do they dump on you, take advantage of you, or leave? Are you in a relationship you know is not good for you? Are you getting beaten up? Does your partner drink too much? Are things okay sometimes, but never for long enough? Are you always doing for others, but finding no one returns the favor? Are you distrustful and afraid of others? Are you suspicious, resentful, angry at others, often explosive? Do you find others are always taking their anger out on you? No matter how many good things others tell you, do you end up thinking they are lying to you? Would you rather stay home alone, and lonely, than face people you don’t know, who may not like you? Are you still trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up? Do you sometimes feel that you’ll never grow up? Do you have a terrible relationship with your parents, feeling bad around them all the time? Or do you constantly make efforts to please them, never feeling like you succeed? Do you let people go on too long doing or saying something that distresses you before stopping them, and later find that you resent them? Do you think you’re good for nothing?
