I idealize and devalue my friendships sometimes because there are times when people don't show that they care enough and times when they seem like they do.
I feel you. Is it possible that they take care of themselves during those times when they're not here for you?

Yes, but it's just hard for me to grasp sometimes because I put people above myself a lot. And when I don't get it back, I feel unwanted.
I get that, I'm pretty much the same. I guess I never want my friends to stop their lives for me, so I'd rather wait, because that's what I hope they would do for me, too, if I can't be there for them at a certain time. As long as I always find time for them. Of course, some of them never find this time for me, so whatever :p
Don't feel unwanted, I'm sure they care for you even if they don't show it all the time. Or they're not your friends, and you have other friends who "want you" lol

Lol it's fine. You know I always appreciate your feedback. I don't have friends IRL though. My supposed "friends" don't give two shits about me. That's why I wish I knew you all in person.
I'd also wish that a lot. Friends here and friends irl are not the same. I have 3 closer friends irl, but we don't talk the same way. One of them I talk to more because she knows, though. We pretty much know each other's schedules and there is always a way, but I'm quite independent and don't experience the kind of loneliness a person with BPD feels. If my friends call me, I'd do everything to be there, but I practically never call them. I've also had my share of friends who don't care at all, that's always sad but I don't need a thousand friends anyway and especially not that kind. I feel pretty different from 99% of people because of my views on friendship, so I keep that in mind and accept it. At times it gets a bit frustrating, but most of the time I can understand. I'm sorry you were often disappointed in your irl friends :( It is quite rare and hard to find ones that we can trust no matter what and who are close to where we are. In the end, most people will always care about their lives first.
