I agree. It pisses me off when people think I should be able to flip a switch and change my way of thinking, change my mood, my attitude, my outlook on life, whatever. It's just not that simple. I have a friend who always has a positive attitude about everything. He doesn't let things get him down. He's decided he's going to take me under his wing and teach me how to change. At first I enjoyed his positive reinforcement about life, but now he's become frustrated with me despite me telling him a thousand times he can't "fix" me. I tell him all the time "I'm not wired that way", or "I'm not wired the same as you", and his response is that I could rewire my thinking if I wanted to, but obviously I don't want to. NO I CAN'T!! I don't even want to be around him anymore because he makes me feel like I'm being this way on purpose; like I'm choosing BPD. Most people don't/can't understand and they don't want to. I too am sick of the questions. "What's wrong, why so down, why the long face?" GO AWAY!
