bpd culture is someone ur friends with making a mean joke to you lightheartedly and getting genuinely upset about it for weeks to months

shoutout to weird kids. shoutout to the guy who’s worn a cape to school every day since 6th grade. shoutout to the freshman who brings a stuffed animal to school & uses exclusively it/its pronouns. shoutout to the ppl who dye their hair a different color every month. shoutout to the girl in my econ class who wears the same hoodie every day. shoutout to weird kids. i love you.
bpd culture is crying all the time because you will never be loved the same way you love others. crying because you are constantly being torn apart by the violence of your own love

i basically assume that people don’t like me unless they explicitly tell me they like me and then periodically remind me
me and my undying urge to be someone’s favorite
i have tourettes where I say sudden funny things but never any slurs because I am good boy 😇 I have OCD but not the one that makes me really concerned about piss and shit but the movie one that makes me line things up properly nice and neat because I am a good boy 😇 I have bipolar but not the one that makes me act embarrassingly in public because I am on the highest point of a downward curving emotional pendulum swing, but the one that makes me creative af via safely utilizing my tendency towards extreme emotions in my art (because I am a good boy 😇) I have autism but it's the one like from the movies where I'm good at math or being a detective, and not the one that makes other people hate me so bad they want to kill me because I am annoying to them. because I am a good boy 😇 I have schizophrenia too but I also don't, because somehow in the cultural lexicon no one who has schizophrenia is a good boy and there is rarely a stylistic bullshit depiction of the condition, but I'm still a good boy 😇 society knows this. society knows this.
bpd culture is saying shit like “i’m starting to realize they made me worse” everytime one of your fps left you and then realizing that up to 80% of bpd symptoms go away when not in a relationship so yes, they did make me worse, but it isn’t any fault of their own. they were literally always destined to make me worse.

bpd culture is thinking you're a monster when you first start splitting (or noticing that you're splitting) on other people, because no normal person would suddenly start hating their friends

questioning bpd culture is going from feeling borderline suicidal due to the amount of anxiety and self-loathing you're experiencing to being completely fine the next day

bpd culture is having a gut feeling that my life is going to prematurely end in suicide
