I should follow my own advice ^ I luckily have a few new things in my life that can distract me, but I feel drawn ...back. I want a support group, but I want friends too, maybe I can't have both (or shouldnt?). I know that no amount of approval from others will help me, but I am a social person too...How to have my social needs met without my BPD traits coming up and flooding my brain?
You DO fit in....that's why you're starting to feel this way. Sigh... I wonder how much of this is being caused by us taking on each other's traits? Because of our own self-identity issues? Are we just, completely unintentionally, damning each other?
Thanks for this!
