Humans are all social beings - even those who are anti-social. But relationships are messy and confusing, sometimes dangerous and always include underlying psychological needs and possibly psychological problems such as Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADHD), and even unstable or dangerous Personality Disorders.
Who to ask for advice?
Well, when your friends aren't able to help, or you don't want to ask them because you're embarrassed, shy or seeking independent information, you can ask a psychologist. We can't diagnose psychological problems by email, but answers will include the same impressions and recommendations given when the psychologist appears on radio programs for advice.
