I'm a toxic friend. No wonder I always end up without one. Any other people with borderline feel the same?

I cannot share my friend. I. Just. Can. Not. Okay???? My time with my friend is exclusively MYYYY time with my friend. I don't want others to interrupt or come sit with us or talk to my friend. I'm gonna do everything to keep other people at bay. Ugh. Why am I like this??? A voice inside me tells me DON'T BE A CRAZY OBSESSIVE JEALOUS IDIOT. But that's exactly what I end up being in the moment. I think my best friend can't breathe because of me. I think I suffocate him. I'm disgusting. Truly a loathsome existence. I wouldn't even be friends with me! Help.

Edit: I do this because I've mostly been the person kept at bay most of my life by different friend groups so I feel I should be entitled to do the same and that my friend should cooperate because every other person used to cooperate with their friends. I just feel that for once I deserve the kind of superior exclusive friendship that everyone else gets to experience. Esp my bullies at work.

But the reason you were kept at bay wasn't that they were jealously guarding their friendship it was that you were toxic then too. Open up and let people in and they will let you in. You were on the right track in the first part of your post but then make the mistake of apologising for yourself and justifying your toxic behavior. That will never work.
I'm not tying to be flip. I realise you have a disorder but it's one you need to constantly combat with awareness not embrace.

@NodandaWink uh no. U don't know who I was then. Lol. Funny how confidently you'd like to assume.

@NodandaWink And yep. You're trying to be flip. If you have to clarify, you are being flip
