How to reframe my thoughts on misguided people
Hello all, 💙
I wanted to ask for some advice regarding BPD and friends. Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
This past year I have had 2 friends from separate friend groups completely cut me out of their lives. They are related because they are the only friends I was open enough to share I had BPD.
Both of them started distancing themselves and both of them used my disorder as a means of "blaming" me for why THEY didn't wish to share why they wanted to end our relationship.
One thing that was literally said to me:
"There is no way I'm telling you how I feel because of your disorder"
The funny thing is, I've been friends with both of them for years before I found out I had this. We all had many talks about feelings and we always figured it out smoothly.
But now that I have a label they used it as a means to get rid of me.
I'm asking for help on trying to reframe my thinking about this situation. It truly has been giving me trust issues and it just plain hurts! These people I spent years with just drop me in an instant. i'm scared some one else in the future with literally use my disorder against me.
Have you experienced anything like this before?
