I've had to put up with emotionally abusive people in my life long enough that I got used to being walked all over, and now that I've gotten out of that rut it's harder to form a relationship with anyone because it's hard to trust anyone. I used to not be able to tell the difference between genuine emotions and obvious manipulation. I feel so stuffty about it because I pushed away the people that actually cared about me because I refused to cut off the very people who were treating me like a doormat.
