I see it as she told them because she felt like she was superior to me in that moment, she enjoyed spreading malicious gossip even though she was my best friend for 40 years, she had no respect and regard for me. It’s not that she thought I was lying when I told her the doctor said only traits, it is that I am invisible, do not matter, I am merely an extension of her, there are no boundaries. She felt it made her look interesting to those friends that she had a juicy bit of gossip.

And yes, she was always jealous of me, openly.

These friends were only acquaintances to me. I didn’t even see them again in person, they are just on my facebook, people I went to high school with. It really bothered me because I had a professional career at that time and her saying that was slander. It could have harmed me professionally. It crossed a line for her to gossip about, even if it were true and I had been diagnosed BPD. If I wanted them to know I’d have told them myself. With friends like her who needs enemies?

I simply stopped talking to her, as well as she did with me. It ended with her flaming out on me in a one sided text fight where she said she couldn’t walk on eggshells with me. After all, I am way too sensitive and she just can’t control what she says. It’s really funny, honestly, her eggshells were more like grenades!
