That's a wonderful way of putting it...and I feel like that quite often as well. It's pretty damn horrific, and the only advice I've learned to extract from those experiences is to simply will yourself to see things from the others' point of view. Either you'll completely decide they aren't worth a damn and really are taking advantage of you, or you'll see that it's just the mood you're in, and maybe be comforted a bit by the fact that they do love you.
Then again, that's me and not you. But, I hope it helps you all the same.

As for the rest...I can't relate nearly as much to it, so I don't want to risk saying any of the wrong things. All I can say is that it sounds horrible, and I hope you get some relief from that mindframe soon, or at least are able to shed some more helpful light on it.

Thank you, that does help.

I think I am leaning more in that direction and my relationships overall are much better than they wonce were, but it's hard because you get stuck in a certain pattern. Certain people attract me, and then it turns out that they're that type I'm trying to stay away from again.
