Re: I can speak with some authority on this subject because as I mentioned before, my mother has these same traits
Sorry but I do not feel this entitles you to diagnose another person. Though you may have first hand experience dealing with a person with this disorder it gives you no experience in detecting it in others. Just because a symptom appears simular it may have several different causes. If I state I have a rash can you tell me what the cause of it is? No there are several things that can cause a rash. But the outward appearance is the same. I read I believe on Honeypots thread that you like to look for patterns. I understand that but I think you are doing more then that when you project in words what you find as a diagnosis. You do not say I think it is possible that so and so may have xxxxx You say IMO. As Gel said on Globes thread others who are desperately seeking help/advice/guidence may see some simularities in what you say to fit there self or spouse and then run full throttle with it. This amateur labling of people may become detrimental to there sitch. We are here to help each other and give each other advice but not medical advice though at times we may suggest someone look into a medical condition. But none of us here to my knowledge hold the degrees it requires to slap a lable on another person.
And again I state I do not feel your idea of BF condition is all that accurate.I have read two articles on web md since you suggested this and still do not feel it fits BF IMO. And it is not because he has manipulated me into adoration for him. I love his banter with others and he can bemuse me at times but he did not manipulate me to make me feel this way. It is not the presentation that he comes off with that holds my attention it is the underlying meaning of what he is saying that captivates me.
Okay sorry BF
Now I do have a question for you
I say this as someone who never wants help. Love to be there for others... never want to need others.
The last part of this statement is so me. And sicne it puzzles me as to why and since you say that is how you are also. I am gonna ask. You say you are working on it. How? This is something I to need to work on but where to start is got me baffled. How do you start needing people or things from people? Sounds like a silly question I know. But when you have spent as long as you can remember being self reliant and knowing you can do it on your own. How do you turn around that thought behavior?
