In life, I have struggled so much connecting with people long term. This has been true for me with different kinds of people and in different kinds of relationships.
I can’t tell if I alone am having trouble continuing to connect or if other people are also having trouble continuing to connect with me.
Anyone else experiencing this?

So recently me and my bf broke up. We have been in this on and off relationship for almost a year. He comes back and love bombs me but id any small thing goes wrong he always leaves me. I cry and I hurt and then he comes back around, and the same cycle happens. I have BPD and so im struggling to let him go. I cry to him and blow up his phone, resulting in me feeling foolish. He says he loves me and misses me but its too much for him and I dont listen to him. I don't want to let go cause he is my favorite person and i love him too much. Advice please?

Bout to start my day after our morning chitchat therapy.And ge will be home in an hour.I need to not get baited, provoked by his voice and remember who I am.He wanted me to become this demented, angry bitter person.Questioning,it,my reality while he sat there.I tried to take a picture.This isn't a matter of oh she knew so she is faking it.It is is this actually happening? I Will Never forgive them,if they did that to me,they'd do it to anyone.I used to be mandated reporter, because of principles and integrity.im ashamed for them, not me.I turned to someone I knew, sober, felt trust and, well now I know, a relationship that was in my head.He knew the daily calls, the two weeks coffees were leading.I will never forget this last two years.Their worste, shown and mine purposefully brought to the surface.Sick.
1 reaction I have several situations going on. My job, and some of my relationships. I am trying to sit w this stuff until I see my therapist- to see if I should act on these things- or do anything- or just sit back and relax-
I have 3 really good- wonderful friends- but they are all up in age. I know- I should know from experience- appreciate what you have while you have it.
But I am busy trying to make other friends and I am having difficulty.
I have a hard time interpreting situations and a difficult time understanding what people may be trying to say. So, it get upset.
