ðŸ’Seeking Support & Advice Not sure if this is BPD but I completely feel like neglecting or abandoning everything unless I like someone.
Its like if I dont like a guy I dont want anything else in life. Even if I have everything in life I will b unhappy. Its very difficult for me to like a guy as well. Even if try to be happy with my self I end up wanting a guy, especially when I see other people in relationships or if I’m with close friends.
Im not as reminded of it if I’m jus around people that I’m not super close with or if they r not a couple. Whenever I’m with someone like a friend or family I seek deep intimacy from something else.
I feel like I dont care about anything in life unless theres a guy. I get turned off by guys very fast as well so I’m stuck in this catch 22 situation for some time now and I want advice.

i personally have accepted that as a guy with BPD, no girl is ever going to want any part of me. i just remind myself of that and my desires are instantly crushed. easier to focus on myself. i feel your pain tho, no amount of accomplishment in life seems worth it if there’s no one to share it with. it’s annoying how much a lack of companionship can hurt you. being human sucks.

For me I worry I won't b able to do extremely normal or health relationships but the bad ones r not good either.

people like us often settle for toxic relationships because we know we can’t keep a healthy one. but all it does is break us down even more. there was a time when i thought i wouldn’t care if a girl cheated on me, abused me, hurt me.. just as long as i could call her mine.. but i think id rather be alone forever than betray myself like that. i’m lonely asf, but for me, that’s a best case scenario.

For me yeah partly I feel healthy people are too different to me now and might not understand. At the same time I feel like healthy would bore or make me feel trapped. I crave that intensity and fun.

i don't feel really qualified to give much advice on this one.. maybe another woman can help
i will say this bit though
If it's not a Hell yes then it is a no
remove confusion and uncertainty from the equation as much as possible and give to your own self the clarity
