It is nice to bring up the positive side, though. I will try to keep that in mind. Thanks for bringing it up.

its a strange thing. i personally am like this i think. i am not BPD and even if i was i wouldnt wait around long enough for a psych to DX me with it.
some have said im good with people. i think i am good at understanding, but it depends on the person. although the people i cant read are the types that not many people can read.
i hav had the tendancy to be extra wary of people though. i immediately jump to negative conclusions if i get the tiniest bit of evidence. its a safety mechanism, but i think its been taught by others rather than one ive developed through my own experiences. recently, when i learned that beaver might be kicked out of 6th form, tom and pippa want to leave, and tom decided he couldt cope with me anymore (lol :P), i immediately felt like everyone was abandoning me again. and i was going to be alone again. this has happened to me, yes. so i am going by experience here. but i know in reality the peeps im friend with who are leaving are leaving because they dislike the school, not me. but at the same time, i still believe theyve suddenly gone off me and hate me ( tom didnt really help that) but yeah. i just think i know what you mean there.
