来电者: 我一生都在努力维持友谊,但总是以失败告终。我付出很多,但感觉对方没有给予同等的回应。我渴望深厚的友谊,但总是以我主动结束关系告终。这可能与我37岁的年龄以及朋友们有了孩子有关,也可能是我对伴侣的期望过高。我的伴侣认为我总是关注负面事情,而忽略了积极方面。我总是等待朋友让我失望,然后以此为借口结束友谊,这让我感到悲伤。我过去在寄养家庭的经历,让我对被抛弃和失去安全感非常敏感,这影响了我对友谊的看法。我总是担心朋友会让我失望,这使得友谊关系不安全。我预料到朋友会让我失望,这影响了我看待友谊的方式。我害怕被伤害,这导致我对所有关系都感到焦虑。我在寄养家庭的经历始于父亲的虐待,这让我对亲情和友谊缺乏安全感。我与养兄弟的关系也存在问题,虽然他对我很好,但我总是觉得他做得不够,这可能与我对家庭关系的期待与现实存在差距有关。我总是批评我的关系,并把他们的行为与我对他们重要性的看法联系起来,然后迅速结束关系。我这样做是为了避免被伤害,这是一种生存策略,但现在却阻碍了我建立更深厚的关系。我很难相信有人会因为我的感受而改变他们的行为。 Esther: 来电者总是担心朋友会让她失望,这使得友谊关系不安全。来电者预料到朋友会让她失望,这影响了她看待友谊的方式。来电者在寄养家庭的经历塑造了她对友谊的恐惧和担忧。来电者的生存策略曾经救了她,但现在却阻碍了她。来电者因为过去的创伤而误解了现实。来电者需要反思自身的行为,而不是总是责怪他人。来电者应该先承认自己的感受,然后再决定如何回应。来电者对朋友爽约的感受是合理的,但她需要决定如何回应。来电者应该直接告诉朋友她被伤害了,而不是采取极端措施。来电者的感受是有效的,但她需要改变回应的方式。朋友们的生活变化会影响友谊,但这并不意味着友谊的结束。来电者应该在保持现有友谊的同时,拓展新的社交圈。来电者需要从不同的角度看待我的关系,而不是总是关注负面情绪。来电者开始理解母亲的行为,这让她不再感到被抛弃。
