Bpd culture is shutting yourself down again because you relearned that whenever you speak up for yourself and defend yourself and explain your bpd symptoms everyone always finds a way turn it into you being the asshole so you regress back to being a palatable opinionless doormat because at least your friends didn't wanna leave you then
.
BPD culture is never being able to tell who is the toxic one in any of your relationships because it is always assumed you are the bad one.
yeah, sorry i exhibited symptoms of the disorder i told you i have. it will happen again because i have that disorder and will continue having it. hope this helps!! 🫶🫶🫶
nd culture is feeling like everyone hates you and not understanding why
.
“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made
BPD culture is feeling like all you are is a mirror
.
BPD (+ NPD) is being upset when no one else replies to you on (website) even though your fp will LITERALLY smother her selfish partner (literally selfish not just "grr bpd") with attention when they ask for it.
.
BPD CULTURE IS wishing that non-bpd people would understand how 90% of what people consider to be "manipulative behavior" from us is literally just.. us expressing emotions. Me expressing how I feel guilty for being so draining and apologizing for how I behave on bad days (ex: ghosting, or meltdowns) is not so I can win your affection or pity, it's literally just so I can explain how I feel in a way that you can understand me better..
It gets so tiring when everytime I try to express my own guilt and shame about my disorder I get accused of "guilt tripping" "manipulating" or "being attention seeking" instead of actually being recognized for how I feel.
Like, c'mon guys.. I'm a person too.. I'm allowed to be sad and feel lonely and feel guilty and I should deserve the same comfort/to be heard as much as someone without BPD 🥲

BPD culture is feeling too sad to eat :(
