bpd culture is changing your entire personality and aesthetic based on a character you relate to or just some random person you thought was cool because you don’t know who the fuck you are
.
bpd culture is misreading a text in a way that makes you think your fp hates you and almost giving yourself an anxiety attack at 4 am, but it turns out you just misread it and it's actually nothing serious
.
the DSM-5 defines narcissism as being characterized in part by a "need for admiration." while this is true for most of us, i think it's a bit of an oversimplification to identify every narcissist's supply needs as just "admiration."
many narcissists just want acknowledgement. supply may not just mean praise and reverence, but also simple care. not a need to be worshiped and treated as godlike, but to be spoken to and treated as an important human being.
others may not just get supply from positive attention, but also negative attention. i've heard others talk about reveling in the thought of being the subject of someone else's resentment or hatred, just because it makes them an important figure in their life.
some narcissists seek out any attention, regardless of whether it contributes to an idolizing reputation; narcissists who become self-destructive because they know it'll get people's attention.
i think most narcissists appreciate admiration, but narcissistic supply isn't just that. what all narcissists have in common is that we need more attention than most people, be it because we were deprived of it when we needed it most or because we never learned how to live without it.
regardless, none of us really have the innate ability to feel important and appreciated unless we're given as much attention we can get.
full offense but i think a lot of you want to seem like a safe space for ppl w/ demonized disorders without actually being a safe space for ppl w/ demonized disorders. and i think its straight up just because you guys view us as though we need to be "one of the good ones" or else we're morally reprehensible and need to be excommunicated just on the off chance that we MIGHT hurt someone
BPD culture is being so worried that someone (esp your fp) doesn’t like you that you get physically sick just thinking of them

suspected bpd culture is genuinely believing your cause of death will be suicide because you are aware that this disorder is slowly eating away your hope and energy to continue living, making it impossible to live normally.

the 'wow you're so emotionally mature for your age!' to having the I can't regulate my emotions disorder pipeline is real

bpd culture is asking your fp ‘do you still like me’ or ‘are you okay’ for the fifth time
