Re: Help please? I don't even know what to call this.

Relationships are easier for me when things are going wrong because I'm given more opportunity to "prove" my worth.

I personally think I'm a very positive person. I make a concerted effort to enjoy small moments instead of fixating on what I don't have but people around me say that it's "depressing" and "sad". When my friends are sharing childhood stories and I contribute with one or two of my own that aren't happy by other people's standards they will express pity and it infuriates me. I don't have many happy memories why do they feel the need to take away the ones I do have and make it clear how sucky things were for me?

And I don't see what's so inherently wrong with keeping low or no expectations. If something great happens then fabulous but if it doesn't work out or something bad happens then I wasn't invested and no big loss.

Oh god. The pity thing. I can't share anything about my childhood either without people giving me this D: face. Sometimes I want to talk about my family and friends from back then just to contribute something, and because I like talking about them now. People's reactions when they realise the people I'm talking about are all dead just sometimes throws me.
I have those happy memories or I can share bad ones involving living people. The choice seems natural to me.

I'm open to good things happening, too. They do sometimes, and it's nice to be surprised. I just don't want to wait for them.

I am pretty bad at the normal side of relationships. I really do try, but it just doesn't come as easily to me to figure out what people want rather than what they need.
