Note: I'm only speaking for myself here.
Think for a minute. Have you ever had someone you care about hurt you? And then had that person apologize for hurting you?
You accept the apology and things return to normal, but then in a couple of days that person repeats the hurtful behavior, following it with an apology after finding out you are hurt (again.)
This goes on several more times. Each time the apology sounds less sincere to you, doesn't it? And each time you are warier that the behavior will repeat, aren't you?
That is how I feel when I keep reading these posts.
You say you want to make it up to people? There is one way to do it: Get The Help You Need!!!!!
Work on getting better. There are ways. Nikki has offered several times to help you find the way, and she has loads of experience with BPD. Use these resources and build yourself a life to be proud of!
That more than anything will make things better.
