bpd culture is getting annoyed when someone tells you to not do the things that make you feel like a bad person. like you think I can control it?
.
BPD culture is life always being too much. Your old friends want you dead because you had the fucking AUDACITY to experience symptoms you WARNED THEM ABOUT??? You absolute piece of shit, how could you react violently to trauma? And it’s a cycle. It keeps fucking happening. Over and over again. And nobody will ever stand up for you.
I'm sorry OP :(
me and my undying urge to be someone’s favorite
i get the catching yourself being a hypocrite making things feel better but wtf are you supposed to do when someone calls you a hypocrite and it turns out they did the exact same thing you did except even worse
explode them with your mind
Bpd culture is having too much love and care inside you and not knowing how to distribute any of it so you give it all to one person and get sad when they don't care about you as much as you care about them.
.
final message: i love you people who were "scary" children. i love you people who attacked other people, who hurt animals, who destroyed people's things, on purpose or on accident. i love you people who got labeled "creepy" or "problem child" or "attention-seeking" or "manipulative". i love you people who got kicked out of class or suspended often, who got kicked out of schools, who transferred before you could get kicked, who didn't understand why they got in trouble. i love you students who failed classes, who'd cry in class, who'd sleep through class, who got sent to unhelpful counselors. you weren't at fault for being a struggling child, and i love you if you struggle feeling overwhelmingly guilty for how you acted as a child, and i love you if you dont. i especially love you if you struggle to see yourself as a good person because of whatever you did as a child. i love you people who cant remember what you did, but are told it makes you bad. you are not defined by the actions of your child self, and you are able to choose who to be as you are now. if you have the capacity and interest to make amends, you can, and its also okay to not do that and just leave it all behind. i love you all the same.
bpd culture is just go ahead and tell me right in the face that i'm annoying. dont act like youre alright talking to me. you probably talk shit about me behind my back, saying that i'm so fucking annoying and humiliating and disgusting.

bpd culture is the ironic fact that all of your splits are due to misunderstandings which are resolved in the end yet your brain still manages to convince you that "yeah this is a real one. they hate you and you're annoying" every single time

you should not blame someone for needing constant reassurance, some of us have been treated so poorly in the past that we forget people can actually love us. Reassurance costs you nothing but your time
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.
