Thanks, everyone...
(((( granite )))) - Honestly, I don't think I ever would have known that you were borderline if you didn't mention it.
Lola - I'm triggered by hippies too. Bahahaha. Kidding. No worries with you, Lola.
I'm not sure I'm triggered by all borderlines....perhaps just the unhealthy, more aggressive ones. It reminds me too much of the friendship that I had with a borderline which I had to find the courage to end after feeling so trapped for so long....which resulted in a lot of lashing out at her end - by her and her family - and her attempting to run me over with a truck 7 months after I ended the friendship.
Anything that reminds me of her gets my blood boiling....which is quite unfair to other borderlines because they are not all like my former friend.
Working towards reacting differently could be a goal. But based on where I am right now in my journey, I'd imagine that my limited energy needs to be directed to something of higher priority.
I'm deciding not to decide right now. I gotta try to get some rest before my all nighter tonight.....
Oh, and I love my couch peeps too....
