>I would start by doing what you can to undo the damage you did to their reputation. If you've been talking to other people about them, maybe you can find those people and tell them what you did. Or publicly take responsibility somehow.
I was caught in the lie when I came close to ruining their lives, glad that happened it ended before it could get worse so their not the only ones that want to keep a great distance from me and avoid me like the plague. I don't think I could personally sort out what happened between me and them.
I just know more people will come into my life and I never want to do this to anyone again. I can't stand the thought of this being possibly a permanent problem that will destroy more relationships in the future I need to work on my emotions while I am alone right now so when new people come into my life I'll be in control enough to never do this again.
>I have problems with being overbearing and emotionally blackmailing people who are close to me.
I have similar problems, I have emotionally blacked mailed many times and jealously most of all has put a strain on a lot of relationships.
>The important thing is to recognize that you do these things. Then you'll be able to stop yourself when you do. Although, the difficult part is always figuring out whether your emotions are due to your problems, or a reaction to something legitimate (e.g. justified).
I take full responsibility for what I did, and I may never forget this. My emotions are a problem these two did nothing to deserve this I should have taken it out through different means at something else rather than the people that cared about me.
