I’m so scared of meeting new people, when I start talking to someone I get so excited and I get “clingy” and get delusional real fast, doesn’t matter who talks to me, I imagine the best of friendships and relationships with these people and when they get a little overwhelmed with the attention and on how hard I’m trying to be likable and interesting that when they start to distance themselves I feel like I’m a disappointment, I’m ugly, I’m dumb, I’m worthless, blah blah, and I distance myself from them to to the point of not talking again, since my logic is that they hate me and don’t value me, it’s such a tiring feeling because I feel like I’ll never have true emotional bonds, it’s also mentally draining as whoever that might be reading must know to have your whole week/month when something like this happens. I’m sure a lot of people with BPD experience this but I want to hear stories. Have an amazing weekend!
