Not sure yet about whether it's best in this case. What am I running away from? My over-reaction to rejection or maybe just rejection itself. Straight from the DSM-IV-TR on Borderline Personality Disorder: "Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment." Only I don't do that anymore, I try to never get in a position for that to happen in the first place. Because if there is anything that triggers me going off the wall, it's that.

I'm glad you're able to get your true feelings out and are reaching out. That makes us very happy. You have good social skills, you don't give yourself enough credit. Let's try to find out what you're runnung away from and then we can take it from there (on a positive note). Love you. Dee and Mark Hi, I don’t like the extinction skill!

But then I'd have no social life at all to practice my skills (or lack thereof) on. Guess I'll see what my therapist says in the morning. He'll probably tell me I'm running away. And I say "You are damn right I am!" :p I’m thinking that extinction skill mentioned above might be the one to use in this case.

I hope I don't stay as long this time. When your social skills suck, do you just keep trying and screwing up, or retreat to that hole? I so vote for the hole! ;) Thank you Mark & Dee, It’s been a while since I’ve been in this particular bad place. I hope I don’t stay as long this time.
