Finding atleast one friend that you trust that you feel you can empty this all on. It sounds like you would end up drivng the person away, but in my experience the idea that you CAN tell them anything is basically enough and you end up not feeling like you HAVE to tell them everything. You don't need to empty your emotions constantly because you're secure that you can. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it's worked for me. My best friend is a 7w6 and he was initially HORRIBLE at dealing with me when I was emotional. I'd feel more distant from him at the time I wanted to feel closest. But we talked about it all, and he's still not great at comforting and stuff but I know he listens, and I trust that he never judges me. We are extremely close, and I think that closeness with someone is often enough...
Probably, some sort of emotional dependency. Oh well..
