What I learned from my childhood friend

One of my closest friends since childhood is not likeable any more, nor is she strong enough to be my friend. My friend had relationship problems that were driven by her self-esteem issues caused by her borderline personality disorder. Over time, I realized that the obsessive behaviors she exhibited towards her ex were similar to those displayed by narcissistic men in the past. It became clear that she was trapped in her own world, and I felt a responsibility to help her find her way again. I could see that she needed help and support, as she was no longer the same confident and happy person she once was. Recognizing that she is truly suffering is the first step towards healing and moving forward.
