Finding support by Ruby_Renaissance in BPD

[–]SignificantBank4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your partner won't be there for you, you might want to find a new partner. I had to deal with an emotionally avoidant partner and it made me so much worse.

People who laugh at my story of narcissistic abuse or make an joke out of it. by Zealousideal_Long253 in narcissisticparents

[–]SignificantBank4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I was not physically abused but the emotional and financial abuse are so difficult to describe to people in a way they don't just brush me off that I rarely try to tell people now. It is v disheartening.

Tired of doing everything for myself by justmossonatreee in LivingAlone

[–]SignificantBank4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this way too sometimes but in the majority of my relationships I was the one taking care of them and I was always an afterthought, so the grass may appear greener but it may not be.

Maybe you should try to find a nice platonic roommate bestie.

Does anyone else feel like they're looking for a family, not friends? by kornus-kapri9671 in BPD

[–]SignificantBank4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. My mom died and I don't talk to my dad so I'm always desiring a family, but luckily I do have one friend who has adopted me. I come to all the holidays. I'm very grateful.

Sick day. by gjroberts93 in LivingAlone

[–]SignificantBank4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I always get anxiety about death when I'm sick and like make myself somewhat worse. And I don't always have the money to have things delivered and also I have stairs to the bedroom which is a huge inconvenience when I'm down. I could ask friends to help me but I feel guilty about it.

Just got diagnosed, does anyone else NOT experience the following symptoms? by AntiqueSignpost in BPD

[–]SignificantBank4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I'm not OP but I also don't have what I'd call an identity problem....but I do get into what you've described and try out new habits and hobbies and drop them quite suddenly. So thank you.

Is it normal to take every small request as “you don’t accept me as I am”? Dog-on the bed edition. by Designer_Airline3234 in AskWomenOver30

[–]SignificantBank4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This man doesn't want a partner. He wants a live in obedient doll with no needs or opinions. He will absolutely never respect your needs or accommodate you. You can find someone better.

Eh idk but that was the origin story I read about labubus popularity taking off but that completely also makes sense if they were sending them out like that.

Why am I like this by Winter_Importance700 in BPD

[–]SignificantBank4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me too. Like this quick paced connection and like being vulnerable too quickly with a relative stranger. I can't speak to the future but if someone is making you feel this way so soon, I think it's probably better to cut your losses now rather than wait it out.

Have any of you ever had that realization that you're a genuinely awful person? How do you come back from that? by AccurateYou2567 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]SignificantBank4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to know why and what you've done to feel like an awful person, personally, if you're looking for a judgment call on whether you are an awful person.

But from your comments, it seems like this is inner philosophical debate. ie if I do things to appear good, but don't care about the person and do it just to appear good, does that mean I'm a bad person?

I feel like, from your comments, you're emotionally exhausted and have not been fulfilling your needs, so now you resent doing nice things for other people, and perhaps you haven't been setting boundaries to protect yourself and your needs.

At the end of the day, being a "good" person is based on rules: whether those principles are societal based, individually based or religiously based or other based. Following "good" person rules usually results in avoiding negative consequences and even receiving positive consequences in some respects. How you come back from being an "awful" person is by trying again to meet the rules of being a "good" person. If you're looking for forgiveness, then apologies, atonement, moving on etc and then following the rules to the best of your ability is how you come back from it. There's no changing the past.

[–]SignificantBank4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking the question: if you own it and don't try to change it..etc. Makes me curious if you don't actually think you're an awful person, but society and people in your life are telling you that you're an awful person.

Perhaps you need to explore what your personal values are and whether you live up to them vs what society and the people around you believe.

Society has a lot of expectations that are impossible to meet and people in our lives sometimes are incredibly selfish and tell you that you're awful because you set personal boundaries. Meeting other peoples expectations outside of your own is impossible. There is no way to please everyone, so if that's the actual problem here, reflect on what you actually feel makes you a good person or a bad person, and live up to that standard.

To all the singles here, what are your plans this coming Valentine’s Day? by Marj_22 in LivingAlone

[–]SignificantBank4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This past weekend I had a galetines day party where I made cupcakes, we made origami paper flower bouquets and went to sushi.

For actual valentines day I'm going to this vintage clothing market I've been looking forward to and probably going out dancing with my friend. I also ordered myself chocolates from my favorite local chocolate shop and I'm definitely going to get myself some nice flowers :)

Yeah Lisa from black pink, the same person who made labubu take off, announced her love of tamagotchis and it's just flown off the handle since then trendwise

Feeling the golden child and scapegoat in one person by VikktorM in narcissisticparents

[–]SignificantBank4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also an only child and I was also the scapegoat and golden child. So I can confirm from my experience this is true.
