... that would be me. I've been around on the BPD and Bipolar forums a lot, first time here.
I'm so pleased to see a forum devoted to this wonderful topic - relationships and communication, and am excited because there's so much we can learn from each others' stories. And I'm looking forward to doing just that ! So, good people, please introduce yourselves, like so: Hi, I'm lilodian4ever, male, 31, a social recluse, and an utter failure in the romance world. Despite my absolute failure to understand relationships and communication, and my being as old as I am, I'm excited that I have a new challenge to take on and attempt to overcome, and I think I can ! I'm going through some great audiobooks at the moment, and getting to practice communication skills each day, mostly at work, and also within feet of smelly armpits at the local gym. Pleased to meet you ! |

Lilodian4ever, hello and welcome to PsychCentral. I’m Gayle, it’s nice to meet you.
I have to admit, I don't know very much about relationships, at least having good ones.  I've been married this time for 17 years and I still don't have a clue.I hope you find this site to be as helpful as I have. It's a great place to share your thoughts and receive feedback and support.

I don't know much about relationships either but at 56 I have learned along the way never to treat anyone the way I was treated in my family of origin. Not that I ever really did that very much. I'm a social failure too, though. I tried to make a new friend in 2013 but when he found out my place is a mess he backed away from me in a hurry. I didn't even want anything but friendship, sheesh.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
