Suddenly being her best friend?
by Bewildered » Wed Aug 04, 2010 6:53 am
I understand many HPD's assume relationships are more serious than they truly are, especially early on. I was my ex's best friend after a month or two! My best friends are friends I've known for many, many years. What I'd like to know is what is their motive in doing this? Is it merely for attention and validation? I can't help but think they burn their bridges with past friends/lovers through sabotage, cheating, etc., that they need to reel someone new into their web so they can start the cycle all over again.

Often that is true.........
My HPD stole her bf's guy, and did have to start over.
But to them, anyone who "adores them" (and doesn't really know them), can instantly be their best friend.
Best friend to them means............best adoration.............best treatment...........of a new fool.........or an old fool who worships them, and will never question or stand up to them on any issue...........

my ex has lots of "friends"
even described them to me as "people you know"
she clearly tells them nothing, once I mentioned to one of her supposed close friends about going on holiday and she asked if I was going on holiday with the ex
i also told one of her friends some stuff about our history and how we got together
the ex went ape s*** saying she didnt want people to know about her life............
