if i read someone's post and it seems "just like me", (i know we all have BPD here and share common traits. this has only happened a few times, not as many times as i've simply related to a post strongly), i'll sit there for a while afterwards thinking about them and wanting to message them to be friends &amp; see if we've shared any other similar experiences. i think about how they just "get" me. it feels good and i feel less alone, this is all great until i realize i'm obsessing over a stranger on Reddit &amp; they probably aren't looking for unsolicited messages from potential friends. they don't consider me a potential friend. at this point i usually feel really ashamed of myself!
