For all on here that do have bpd do you
find it hard to interact in social
situations and or just in general make
friends?
I am a theater buff...Give me a script to
read adn I will audition, give me a lead
role and I will get rave reviews, but ask
me to try to communicate unscripted words
face to face with someone new and forget
about it. I end up making an ass of
myself. Or at least I feel I do. I
have lived here in new mexico for two
years in april and I have not made one
friend on my own. My husband brings them
home and I am still kerflunked with what
to say or how to act. I try to bring out
the clown in me but then I just feel like
they think I am a dumb blond (no offense
to the blonds out there I am one too).
If you have this problem too....Talk to
me. I feel so alone in this, how do you
get over it? Can you get over it?

The mrs
yes I know what you mean. I also have
problems socializing.
This is just my opinion as to why I have
difficulties.
I tend to be very untrusting of people
due to past experiences and I think others
can sense it.
Im usually open about my illness and I
think that scares them.
Probably not a good idea, but then again
may as well weed out
the weeds right away.
Keep in mind this is thru a bipolar eye's
but I have meant
people that we're worse than im in social
skills. So it's not
always us as bipolars that are the
problem.
Im also very senitive and take things very
personal whether
they are meant that way or not. So when
I get hurt I walk.
I have a hard time going and talking about
it, working it out.
Due to meds and this illness I have a lot
of brain fog which
makes me appear a little drugged.
As far as conversation topic's what ever
comes to mind is
fair game. I always avoid religion and
politic's. Weather,
kids, careers are good ice breakers.
Dont know if this is much help but you
tell me was my
response off in left field or did it seem
like an acceptable
repsone to you topic. In this case
honesty would be of
help to me in my own goal of learning to
be more social.
