questioning borderline culture is wanting to tell everyone online that you killed yourself, then create a fake online alias, and join the same circles to see what they said and how much they care and what they really thought about me and if they're sad and if I ruined their life and-
.
OCD symptom i struggle with but don't see talked about a lot: inability to trust your own memory and/or perception.
as an example: i put my headphones in my bag. i say im sure they're in my bag, but what if i imagined putting them in my bag? i have to check, so i stick my hand inside and grab them. but then i have to check *again* because what if i just so happened to have another object shaped and sized exactly like my headphones that i just forgot about? so i have to pull them out of my bag and look directly at them to fully confirm they were in my bag
this is a fairly benign example but this also happens with other worse scenarios for me and it's. not fun
bpd culture is asking your fp ‘do you still like me’ or ‘are you okay’ for the fifth time
.
bpd culture is blaming yourself for them leaving, then blaming them, then hating yourself for blaming them because they still mean so much to you, then repeating that cycle all while knowing you'll never having a clear enough head or good enough memory to tell if you were the one being wronged or not
.
Bpd culture is having two playlists for whether you love them or hate them
.
Interactions you've had if you're cluster b:
"I'm so worried they're doing that so sabotage me or manipulate me!"
"Why would they do that, people don't even really do that plus their your friend!"
"........" (I would do that)
BPD culture is your FP making you feel physically ill.
