Hey y'all,

I have friends and family that I enjoy in my life. Some though, are overall negative and make a lot of conversations about themselves and most conversations is complaining. Also do inconsiderate things like not listening to anything about myself when they ask or forget about details like if there has been an event and not keeping me in the loop.

I feel these issues are from them being so stressed out in their own lives and I'm pretty certain (hopefully lol) it's nothing against me.

With BPD, it's been hard to be around them. I feel the overall negativity affects my mood a lot. It sucks because I do love them and when they finally stop the negativity, it's a great time being with them, but it's a bit rare. I especially don't want to cut them out either as that would make things much worse.

Anyone have any advice or coping skills?
