Loneliness

@ehanna

Hi, thanks for sharing. 💜 I wonder whether it's really a bother to your friends; possibly they enjoy being able to spend time with you. 😊

(Something I've done with my friends that's helped me with feeling comfortable with how much I'm reaching out to them is just asking them how often is okay for me to talk with them. Then I know "as long as I'm talking with them less than this amount, they're okay with it and I don't have to worry about burdening them". And if the amount that they're okay with is less than I want, then I'll either try to find additional friends/people I can talk with to fill in the gaps, or I'll try to have some fun/enjoyable activities I can do on my own when I'm not able to talk with someone.)

In case if it's helpful, HERE is a thread that has some tips related to loneliness. And HERE is a list of experienced listeners who accept 1-on-1 chats on BPD.
