Honestly, when the GM at Arby’s harshly rejected me, yes I was traumatized, but at least I still believed there are good people in the world. Now when Mcdonald’s GM became just like the one at Arby’s, it was the last straw. I think it broke me beyond repair. Not because he traumatized me worse (he didn’t), but because he was among the LONG line of people who pushed me away. It’s because he’s not any different from them.
I can’t make sense of human interaction anymore nor can I trust anyone. Until a few weeks ago, I believed people are basically good.

Ruby, you said this:

Then you engaged in a discussion with me about it. And now you are backtracking it. You need to own up to what's going on with you. You have to confront that you are doing these things. Believing you know what others are thinking or feeling is a cognitive distortion of BPD.
Theory of mind does not mean you know what others are thinking.
