Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've recently begun to notice how much I seek other's approval, even when it does not seem to be in my best interest. For example, I feel obligated to visit my BPD mother at her Alzheimer's facility somewhat out of guilt and also because I want the staff to think I'm a good daughter. In reality I do not want to visit her, plus I believe she is at her worst around me. I've been aware that I've often been too concerned with gaining the approval of others and I'm wondering if this could be related to being raised by a BPD mother. For as long as I can remember she has assumed that everyone in her life is judging her and I'm wondering if some of this may have rubbed off on me. Has anyone else dealt with this? Thanks.
