  The trap I fell into was thinking that if I treated people well, they'd automatically return the favor.

  Especially not a BPD. They are very jealous of the peace that people who love themselves have. It drives them up a tree. In my personal case, my family member that suffers is a lot more creative than I am, but doesn't do anything with his or her abilities and then thinks I'm trying to show him or her up when I win an award or something.

  The thing to remember is that they aren't totally in control of their actions. The common thought is that it takes a combination of drugs and therapy to deal with the disease.

  edit: check out the symptoms in the above book by clicking on the search inside link. It's the fifth or sixth page in.

  One more note:

  If you find yourself in a relationship where you are never able to have a conversation because every time you make a point, the person changes the subject or just makes crazy, off the wall statements, you may know one who suffers from the disease. In that case, check out this book:

  Waling On Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care about Has Borderline Personality Disorder

  It's very helpful.

  My first marriage was in the JW's, to a person I now know suffers from BPD. I cannot avoid her entirely now as a child is involved. You are so right -- there's no reasoning with people like this, they are in a parallel universe.

  Dude, I feel so bad for you. I've had two girlfriends that I KNOW were diagnosed with BPD. A member of my family has it. And I believe that at least two of my acquainances have it. It's sad because the people that have it are never happy. They constantly feel chaos inside of themselve and the only time they feel relatively OK is when they are distracting themselves (a lot of times with drugs or reckless behavior) or are projecting their chaos onto someone else.

  I'm very quick at noticing the signs now. Very quick.

  These are the kind of people who thrive on chaos and confusion.

  Actually, this is one of the main symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It's quite frustrating because it's like arguing the bible with a witness. As soon as you make some sense, they switch to a different topic and try to throw you off. It's better to just not have a converstation with them in the first place. Failing that, keep it short and sweet.

  A question about wireless internet connection....

  by Gregor in

  1. jw

  ... we have left it unsecured, that is, no password to access it.

  i know this means that someone near by can use our connection, but what are the dangers of this, if any?

  I'm writing a novel about an aspect of this. As it stands, there currently isn't absolute liability for someone using your wireless connection but if someone did, and knew how to spoof your MAC address, it could look like you were the one doing whatever it is they did. In other words, they could download kiddie porn and make it look like it was downloaded to one of your computers.

  They would need to know one of your MAC addresses and they wouldn't be able to connect while the computer with that 'MAC address was connected as each one has to be unique.

  The other issue is identiy theft. Most of the information you post on the web, including passwords in many cases, is not encrypted.

  And why is it that people who lie, always accuse others of the same thing?

  That my dear sweetface, is an excellent question.

  5go. That must be cool, to know they want you that much. I've had confidence before, as I do now, but from my understanding, they have a number of people who applied. But maybe they they tell all applicants that. I don't know. I'm just glad they want to see more of me.
