So I recently read a post about obsessing over our FP. I don’t have one. And it kind of bothers me.

I should tell you that I’m not officially diagnosed with BPD, rather I “exhibit traits of someone with BPD” ... which makes me borderline Borderline (haha). The trait statement came from a clinical social worker a few years ago, I have an appointment to start seeing someone new soon.

But back to the FP thing. I have trouble forming attachments to people. I like people, I mean they’re okay, but I don’t have people who I really like or even really consider to be friends.  I consider most people who’ve entered my life to be acquaintances. But the thing is I don’t want to attach myself. And sometimes if they come on too strong like wanting to hang out a lot or complimenting me too much- I back away. Like the more emotion people express toward me, the more uncomfortable I get.

Does anyone else with BPD just not feel super affectionate toward others?
