Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

As a result of living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), I’m a train wreck when it comes to friends.

I typically would come on way too strong then run away when things got “weird” and/or I felt at all rejected.

That said, there are a few women I see about once a year who I truly enjoy spending time with.

So yes, my idea of what makes a good friend has changed as I’ve gotten older.

I now manage my BPD a lot better, and navigate people a wee bit better.

I can live my introverted life in nature, while knowing I have friends I look forward to seeing when life brings us together.
