Hello This is my first post here. im 21 and Ive revently been diagnosed with BPD and find myself acting/ feeling like a little kid in social situations.

I act very innocent and vunerable, and i dont talk much either so its not noticable to people.

im not sure what this is about. i try to think of why i do this, and somtimes think its becuase it looks cute and want that attention some little kids get. Its hard to admit sincei dont beilve it would be attrative at all, but regardless, i still do it anyways.

the social scene can be a rather tricky one to navigate thats for sure.


@Broken-Mind @The-red-centaur and @MDT @Eden1919 are also other younger members as well and perhaps could offer some other advice too
