You are not broken. You're unwell, and you can heal.
-
Those things you mentioned are unwell behaviors.
-
What matters is you're not well and you need to get better. You do that with therapy, exploring the behaviors, then a. What am I feeling, b. What triggered that feeling, c. What wound got touched that tripped the trigger d. What healthy self-talk would facilitate healing the wound, the source of this particular trigger, feeling, self talk.

Seriously, get a good therapist trained and paid to explore these things with you. The Internet ain't it. While we all may or not mean well, many of us think "normative” means healthy normal, and it doesn't. We could easily and inadvertently cause your health to get worse, rather than better.

I'm not wishing you luck, because you don't need that. You need a therapist, the will to work on yourself, a lot of self forgiveness, self compassion, self love. I started with self -talk. Would I say to a friend what I said to myself? Them I've no business talking to myself that way. I won't say it will be fast or easy. With patience, diligence, love and forgiveness, you can and will get better. I believe in you!

He couldn’t trust me and felt I didn’t respect him which is crazy because I showed him more love and respect than I had for myself.
Why on earth would anyone trust, love, respect anyone who can not trust, love, respect themselves?
I think this is largely people seeking confirmation their delusions are real, and wherever they find it is what they're going to attach to themselves.
I had to come back to share with you what was coincidentally posted on YT this evening. Perhaps you will find it as relevant as I did -- or not. By one of my recent favorite lecturers:

Eta: here is the text: https://hermetic.com/crowley/international/xi/11/humanity-first
I see what the status quo dem voters of Lemmy are doing here. It will only work for the gullible and cowardly
The loss -adversion, "FU, I got mine!" Dem voters will lap it up, preferring the slow-acting poison to real change. The YT guy predicting 10 years of darkness was spot on.
Buckle up. It's going to be a wild ride.

Eta: post-read they're going to run her. They think because of the current administration, people will vote for her in droves and the Overton Window keeps moving right. This stinks but I'm not confident they're wrong. The people will gleefully fall for it and continue to vote status quo, ignoring the losses keep coming, despite loss-adversion voting.
Damn. I knew water wars are coming outside Israel/Palestine, but they weren't on my second quarter 2025 bingo card.
Selgas, the CEO of Freight Technologies Inc, a cross-border trucking concern, said his firm recently purchased $20 million worth of the $TRUMP memecoin — a faddish type of cryptocurrency with no inherent value other than its ownership by Donald Trump, his family and close allies — for the explicit purpose of lobbying the White House on tariffs. How do we know this? Because Selgas said so himself, both in a public news release and in a related filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, needed to sell bonds for this international company to invest in the Trump family coin. The CEO said its $20 million purchase would be “an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.” It sure could be. The Mexican entrepreneur’s large investment in the $TRUMP coin, which features his famous “fight” gesture after last July’s assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., would seem to guarantee an invitation for Selgas to an unprecedented — and I mean that in the worst possible way — event. The president recently announced that the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP meme coin are invited to dine with him at his Virginia golf course on May 22, while the top 25 will get exclusive facetime with POTUS 47.
No money, no honey. Sorry losers! /s
This isn't onion-y, it's sane.
