BPD Support Thread

I'm not trying to do that! Lol. I'm done job-hopping. It's time for some form of stability and trying to actually blend into society...even if I have to fake it for a while to get there :P

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. My sister started a new job but hopefully she'll stay at this one. Her longest is like 3 months.

Feel free to use it for one of your sex scenes in your writing if you want lol.

Hmm, that could be good for a future story.

Someone said BPD is close to sociopathy, but I don't see how. I always thought of BPD as all the emotions, and sociopathy as not many or just very subdued. But I could be wrong.

Could even take place in the breakroom lol.

I asked for @Gwyrdd's input on a story and based it on real life experience. And no, it's not for a sex scene. lol

Um no, not even remotely. It's kind of the exact opposite of sociopathy...the extreme on the OTHER end of the spectrum.

People who have had problems with BPD people like to put us all in one box, but it's just not that way.

It was about pills, and I promise it was just research for a story. lol

Antisocials don't give a shit about other people and we base our entire self worth and personalities on other people. It's like literally the exact opposite.

Didn't realize you already said this lol

People who don't get BPD like to make a lot of stereotypes.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

This is me. I'm very well behaved. lol

Its true that both BPD and Antosocial PD are grouped as cluster B disorders, but the only similarity is that both personality types can be manipulative and selfish. But even then, in VERY different ways and for different reasons, so I don't see the resemblance at all. And not all borderlines are even all that manipulative. I mostly grew out of that stage, so I would say I'm no more manipulative at this point than anyone else.

 

[Gwyrdd]

I've never been manipulative out of anything other than pain, and even then it was rare and I've grown out if it now. Obviously we're not all the same even given the huge similarities, but a lot of us aren't even remotely close to the other cluster Bs

Except maybe histrionic, I can honestly see some overlap there. Like being flirty to get attention, I can be that way.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I flirt with people a lot if I'm comfortable with them. And as long as it doesn't make them uncomfortable.

Kind of, but even they can be manipulative as fuck more than us at least.

Who doesn't though? It's fun.

Yeah, but not sure if you like it when I do it. haha

 

[Gwyrdd]

If it bothered me I'd say so. It doesn't.
