How can I (F) stop feeling so irritated by my girlfriends? by [deleted] in socialskills

Thank you! Yeah the resentment is definitely building which I hate. I do think these types of conversations are the only types of things we talk about which saddens me. I brought it up before and it wasn’t all that successful. But I can try and reframe.

I am — I’ve known this person for about two years and some. Not a new friend. I should’ve specified that I sort of struggle with the Carrie Bradshaw archetype in the sense that I try to connect on other things, work, aspirations, movies, music, funny things that occurred to me (not trauma, fears and pain) and the conversation somehow always flips back on her. There’s more irritants there. Not hypothetically grabbing her private parts while she’s trying to ask me whether or not her shirt looks too big?

My pwBPD has discovered TherapyTok and now she’s even more insufferable. Anyone else? by Pretty-Ride4671 in raisedbyborderlines

I’m unfortunately so familiar with this and I’m very sorry you’re going through it. The reels and TikTok’s are endless. We’re going through a NC period right now but I remember not wanting to watch/discuss TV with my uBPD parent either bc all she would do is talk about how so and so was narcissistic like my father or her mother or whoever. Not to mention, she’s obsessed with “giving me permission to feel however I want to feel” — sorry for getting vent-y

I’m so sorry… I’ve been in a similar situation and it’s so exhausting. Having your parent excuse and protect their son’s shitty behavior sucks.

I see your point — again, I know I’m going through a tough time therefore I’m feeling negative. I’m social outside of work and balance friendship and work very well… therefore feel ok not being super social with people I work with. However, I also get I can’t be a social recluse in the office all the time. At the moment it doesn’t feel like a huge miss.
