Hi fellows,
So, its been brought to my attention that I still have the BPD behavior of unfriending people on social networks with no explanation. A former therapist said to me that a joke among therapists is that a person outs themselves as borderline with this behavior. I don't really understand why I am still doing this as I no longer have a dx of PD NOS. I guess the bigger question is why do I friend people in the first place, either in the past in school, or other events, and in the present online, or even dealing with family or inlaws after divorce. This whole subject makes my head spin. Has anyone else ever thought about these things? I also think this has to do with my trust thread I started yesterday, and the meme I just uploaded today, about what happens when a person you felt safe with lied to you. This is a very complicated issue for me, going back to my what I now believe to be to my personality disordered mother, and how she treated me, even how she treated my friends. This is a very deep subject for me too. Can anyone relate? Last edited by leomama; Aug 26, 2016 at 08:48 PM. Reason: Spelling |

I'm unfortunately constantly questioning my friendships with people. I get the biggest urge to remove all of them, but then I'm way too terrified of being too lonely. Then the next thought comes along saying "You would be no more lonely than you are now, since your "friends" don't really support you all that much anyway." I also believe my mother has BPD and her distrust of people throughout life has surely affected me. Even just the other day she told me she has learned to trust no one and rely only on herself. She's all about doing everything on her own, no matter what.

That's amazing. My mom has very few friends , maybe three. I socialize in groups. There's only one adult I talk to on a daily basis. I have a lot of Facebook friends . I was discussing this with someone and asking them their opinion on this. In the past I've been told I'm too open, and I deduced that was the problem. Thank you for your reply.
