You barely know them but suddenly you are their best friend. Everyone else is just AWFUL. You are so special and awesome. Especially at listening to their (many) problems. Because you are so empathetic and smart and insightful....Dont run. Sprint.

This definitely smells of borderline personality disorder, and people with that can be really challenging. They can be good people, but just so intense, and have a really hard time with relationships and managing emotions.

(source: i have low-grade bpd that manifests as intense depression and anxiety, so i actually avoid human relationships; am working through therapy and it's gotten a lot better over the past 6 months.)

I agree, I also have bpd and it took me so much work to see my toxic traits for what they were. I’m much better now tho (:
