I would have denied doing this a few years ago, but I've observed myself and it does happen with both individuals and groups. I don't know if it's bad or not...it's just the way I am.
I do the same thing, my mother would call me out on it like it was a bad thing, and in school I got called out on it too. I still do it, just not as much, I try to hide it. I guess that is why I am going through such a hard time now with memories from my past resurfacing and now with trying to be my own person, and a likeable person at the same time. I didn't know other people did it to, or that it is connected to BPD....thanks
