One of the only positive things, in my mind, about my BPD diagnosis was being like a chameleon in social situations. I always felt like I was a people pleaser and knew what everyone wanted because I was in tune with their emotions and needs and therefore I was lively and fun to be around. 

But lately, even with family and friends I've been close to for years, I just feel like an outsider. My mojo isn't working. I feel like I don't fit in at all and I'm just weird and awkward and I'm only still invited out because they all feel sorry for me.

Yikes, even just reading back what I wrote I'm like, "Yeah that's a BPD thing. Normal people don't go through this." Halppp how do you get out of this little mind rut when you feel isolated from your friend group?
