Some difficult untangling. Does anyone else here feel like this? http://woozalia.com/wiki/Emoblog/2017/12/10/not_quite_borderline
@woozle I don't think you need to hit all the criteria to qualify for diagnosis, fwiw
@lambdagrrl Well, I'll definitely be bringing that piece to my therapist in a couple of weeks, anyway...
@woozle I think I have a lot in common with what you've outlined, though in my case I'm pretty sure the black-and-white thinking is something I've trained myself out of, to the degree that it takes something pretty drastic for me to actually hate anyone, even people who do terrible things
@woozle most of my bullies were already claiming to be my friend, so
@lambdagrrl Other kids didn't want to be associated with me. I even had a "friend" who specifically asked me not to let anyone else know that they actually liked me.
@lambdagrrl inorite??
DA was a very screwed-up place. >.<
@lambdagrrl Interesting contrast -- I'm pretty sure I've just *always* been inclined to forgive; I just wanted the bullies to stop hitting me so we could be friends, you know? <now giving myself a Look for saying/thinking that>
