I can relate to getting overly attached to people and driving them away. It's a horrible feeling. I've been trying to listen and take in the advice that says no one who is willing to walk away was really meant for you anyway. If they're willing to give up on things that easily, they're not who you want to keep around. Then I focus on the people who have chosen to stick by me as friends through the most challenging of times. I'm a unique flavour too, and I think it would be impossible to find someone who fits everything I'd like (I drove away the person who got closest to fitting this), but there are still people out there who fit enough.

I hope you can find that, too.
