bpd culture is when your fps tone changes alittle from how they usually talk and now you NEED to isolate yourself until they act “normal” to you again
.
bpd culture is constant urge to talk a lot and overshare but being able to do it only if you’re 100% sure other person really wants to listen to you (and stopping when they get slightly distracted or you notice a slightest change in their voice or eyes or anything else)
.
BPD culture is feeling like all you are is a mirror

the 'wow you're so emotionally mature for your age!' to having the I can't regulate my emotions disorder pipeline is real
persotypical = no personality disorder or disordered traits; persodivergent = personality disorder and/or traits.
don't count armchair diagnoses (E.G. "my mom is a complete narc!"); unless they've been professionally or self-diagnosed with a PD, they're counted as persotypical for the sake of the poll.
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 getting a dry message from someone and thinking "Am I being annoying again?" or "I should shut the fuck up"

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 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
