> i guess its a chicken or the egg thing. i got along with her just fine until i realized she thought i was borderline. i still get along with her quite well actually im just not sure i see a need to label and categorize behaviors and feelings. a behavior is a behavior and a feeling is a feeling. if someone is afraid of abandonment and acts out over that fear, its ok to leave it at that. it doesnt need to be chalked up to a personality disorder.

> i understand youre not trying to be flip flutterby. but you sure do come across that way.<<----flutterby: Yikes!- sorry. have been told a few times that I "don't sugar coat things"-- I don't mean to come across as harsh.... (and yet some others have said I'm so nice-- it's confusing) I struggle to fit in socially. (maybe the schizotypal - they tend to not be able to fit in or socialize well) I'll try hard to be more careful in how I put things. Also I should probably refrain from replying in some circumstances....
thanks for your honesty
