• Fuels worry and anxiety

• Feel cut off from others.

• Feel apart from who and what matters.

• Compare yourself with others – either worse off or superior to others.

• Live in unfulfilled fantasies.

• Keep facing disappointments with others.

• Feel cut off from closeness with others.

• Will not be able to handle others.

• Will set up boundaries to keep out difficult people.

• Feel something is missing in your life.
