How to Spot if the woman I am meeting, is Dependent or is a Quiet borderline?
She has all the traits of dependence but lately I am seeing she seems to disappear emotionally for some minor incident or when she seems to fall in love with me. Is this appropriate for someone dependent or only occurs in people with Borderline?

Can anyone advise about this behaviour (below)

I hope the way I communicate it makes sense to what is happening. Here Goes:-

"when someone starts conversation in Skype say, you reply in skype, and the person replies to your reply in skype using whatsap, you go back to check conversation in skype to see what you replied to - it had been deleted just leaving your reply."

It feels like some psychological game going on. ...

Hi

I'm 53, male. I’ve been in the mental health system since 23. Initially diagnosed with schizophrenia, and only five years ago had that ruled out, and now diagnosed DID, amongst others. So yeah, in therapy.

I live with my mum. The relationship isn’t very good. Although we live together, we actually spend little time together. Mum would like me to spend more time with her, while I’m doing my best to maintain boundaries. She ...

Hi all.

I have an ex girlfriend. We dated 10 years ago and stayed friends afterwards. She got a new boyfriend. He moved in with her pretty quickly. After two years she tells me they argue a lot and things aren’t going well. She ends the relationship and moves to a different city. A few weeks later they are semi- back together again. After he realised she wasn’t coming back he kinda accepted the new ...

I recently discovered that the relationship I've been in for the last two years has actually been a hostage situation. Joking aside, i was with this woman (the narcissist) for two years and only recently discovered why everything about the relationship was so bizarre.
Anyway, I really need a place where I can ask a ton of questions regarding the narcissistic personality, why it is that they do what they do, and how I can ...

Hey guys, this may be long.. I've been trying to figure this situation out.

There's this person who called herself my friend.. but has continually behaved in ways that would be more consistent with an enemy.. but kinda gaslights and spins things when I'd question certain behaviors and actions. I'm really thinking she's NPD and when she realized she'd get no financial gain from me... her envious narcness took over. I'll give some examples..

I have suspicions for a while now he was purposely moving my things. It was strange things mysteriously disappeared when he is around only to re-appear after he found it. Things like my car keys, phone, wallet. All innocent enough, everyone loses them time to time, that's what he relied on me thinking. But when he is around it 10x worse, everything disappears and re-appears somewhere else. Start questioning your sanity.

I just caught he ...
