Do you have any relationships you’re unsure about continuing?

I have BPD, and i don't know if it's like stockholm syndrome or something, but i actually feel comfortable around friends who are tough, outspoken, and speak bluntly. We always start out as enemies and then somehow end up as friends.

Sometimes, one meaningless comment from them can make me feel down all day, and I give it so much meaning. But when they say "i like you" or acknowledge me, i've never been happier. They only keep people they genuinely like around them.

I'm just curious if you've ever had something like this too.

It's more that I've let friendships drift and with CTB on the cards, it seems safer/ kinder to leave them that way.

But yes, in the past I have found myself overdependent on people and, needed to take a step back. Not so much because they were mean (thankfully.) But, because I was expecting too much of then when their life was moving on.
