Would a person with borderline still be interested in an ex from 7 years ago with little actual contact in those seven years?

Just curious.

Ummm, not so sure you need to be borderline to do that

I am just curious. I have a friend who I have not seen in a long time and he seems to pop up from time to time. It was more of a painting black and white question. Is it common for this to go on for years?

Well i was diagnosed with BPD 7 yrs ago and still have it; and more symptomatic then i was 7 yrs ago so id say yes, its something tou have to learn to coping stragies and behaviors for yrs.

I dont see people good then bad (the only 1 of the 9 symptoms i dont have) but i do have black & while thinking.

Do you know for sure this person has BPD? I wouldnt say that this is a "BPD thing" whether they do or dont. The people are good then bad is idoloize someone then if they do something wrong hate them from what i understand of that symptom

Pretty sure. I was just curious.

It's certainly possible. I've had some long-term cycles with people something like that. It could possibly be borderline in the way that we can continue to feel or hang onto things long after other people would have gotten over it or moved on. I know that once I love someone, it takes a very long time to get over it and stop feeling even a dormant attachment.
