Title: She asked me about a new piercing, of all things
Post by: inepted on February 17, 2013, 09:22:15 PM
I feel like I just need to vent. So, a few days ago after messaging my pwBPD, letting her know I want to work things out, and when she wanted to talk she should message me. Then she went silent for 4 days. Out of the blue, she messaged me today, telling me she wanted to get a new lip piercing. I was just sort of flabbergasted. She acted as if nothing was different. Of all people she came to be to validate her feelings I suspect, whether or not she was being too impulsive. Then she proceeded to complain how frustrating it feels because she's being treated like a child and no one trusts her ever since her suicide attempt.

I wanted to question her about what she was up to. I wanted to lash out, and question why she's been ignoring me and what she's been doing. But, I played it cool. To be honest Im surprised I reacted as well as I did. I kept my answers short, but still showed interest in what she said... .  And then went back to ignoring me.

I really don't know what she was trying to accomplish. Just looking for validation (https://bpdfamily.com/content/communication-skills-validation) perhaps? Why me? Perhaps because she doesn't trust her new friends to tell them about her condition? Am I crazy for over analyzing such a pointless conversation?

Has anyone else's person with BPD contacted them out of the blue with such a random topic of conversation?
