As I said, I haven’t been punting for some time and my interactions with the lady in question were some time ago before she was such a hot topic and during a time when I was not actively participating on the site due to other commitments and factors. Point taken that I maybe should have brought this up ages ago but for personal reasons I have not been engaging in the lifestyle nor visiting sites of this nature too much for the last couple of years.
I’m no expert on BPD or the validity of her claims to have it, but I’m merely pointing out that she said that to me in passing, once, some time ago. I had largely forgotten about it as we were engaging in an everyday conversation at the time; talking about the behaviour of my friend and that was the focus of the discussion. It has only been upon reading the thread today that I was reminded of it and thought I would share to see if that rings true with others who may have seen her more recently.
To make my personal stance clear, again I will state that I am by no means an expert, but my understanding of BPD is that it is more of a problem for the person with the condition on an emotional level than it would be for outsiders on a physical level......don’t hold me to that though as I could definitely be wrong. As such, my intention for sharing the possibility that BPD could be a factor was more to deflate rather than exacerbate the concerns by highlighting what it could be instead of the massive speculation on here and signposting to more information so people can make up their own minds on the seriousness of it. I was not in any way attempting to cast aspersions on the young lady.
For the record, based on my personal experiences I did not see anything alarming and she was always perfectly friendly, communicative and articulate and did not display any behaviours that I found uncomfortable. Seemingly, like some others have reported, there was just a general quirkiness and possibly social awkwardness about her that has been mentioned elsewhere, but I found this endearing rather than threatening and always assumed it was just her character.
That said, I am aware that I am also speculating to some degree, so apologies if this hasn’t really helped. But in lieu of a review from way back when, solely from my experiences alone, I wouldn’t be put off from paying her a visit as I enjoyed both of my sessions with her. Also, I am one of the 16 who left positive feedback on AW too, again dating back to early last year.
