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?
DITTO ~ minus being a social person. I don't have the confidence or self-esteem to be sociable. The rest of your post completely fits me. Best wishes to everyone!
