Dealing with Disappointing Relationships
This is an article I came across on a great site called Tiny Buddha – some of you may already be familiar with it and for all I know, I’m way behind the game when it comes to loving it?? Anyway, it’s a fantastic site. If I had one complaint about it, it’d be that it can be a bit formulaic/all the posts and writers are incredibly similar in terms of age, race, background, experiences, etc. But that’s my cynical/bitter side talking so don’t put too much stock in it.
Although this article pertains to relationships and expectations in general, it is REALLY pertinent to those of us with BPD. I am finding one of the most difficult things about this disorder to be my “normal” expectations (normal to me, absolutely ridiculous/unhealthy/irrational to everyone else) with respect to those close to me. Some things about this article made me think, “Yeah right, easier said than done,” and others made me think, “Hmm I should give that a try.”
What do you think??
