I've found that I am both very self-involved and a people-pleaser. I've always just assumed myself to be unloveable and unworthy so I built up walls to keep people from even trying - aggressive, domineering behaviors. However, the people that do end up close to me become my everything and I am suddenly a lioness protecting her cubs. Yet even with my people-pleasing I can be very manipulative and passive-aggressive. I am big on controlling people, places and things.

I say all of these openly because hey we're only as sick as our secrets and I don't want to be like this anymore. I am all about happy, healthy and honest relationships.
