cluster b corner

i have a basic dni criteria. just don’t be a dick.

i think it is possible. everyone with the disorder has a different experience. although, attachment issues and splitting is pretty integral to the disorder.

that would be your equal person. that is someone that you view as your equal (not less or above). some people also use the term exception.

the main thing about bpd is the fear of abandonment. it can cause you to have a “favorite person” that influences your mood and emotional regulation. this in turn can cause you to cling to the person or leave them before they leave you. you can have suicidal ideation and feelings of emptiness. there’s also the possibility of psychosis like symptoms (paranoia and hallucinations when under stress). there is also the possibility of having anger issues, especially when “splitting”. splitting is when you see things as all black and white and i believe i went over it in a previous ask. there is probably other symptoms that i haven’t mentioned that i can’t remember off of the top of my head. regardless, everyone experiences bpd differently.

this is very common i think with people even if it isn’t a cluster b thing. we all get frustrated and want to seek revenge at times. although my perspective may be skewed and maybe this isn’t normal? the part about wanting to hurt people just because sounds disordered but if you feel slighted it may be normal. but also… even feeling slighted can be a disordered thing depending on what the trigger was.

it’s basically when we think of things in black and white or all good and bad. i can idealize my partner one day and the next day split and devalue them in my head. there is usually a trigger for splitting in my experience.

yes it is but i don’t have the disorder so i can’t really say much about it since i don’t know much.

if you think that you have bpd “tendencies” then you can label yourself as having bpd traits. if you’re younger than 16 especially, i believe you definitely have time to get better and that labeling yourself might do more harm than good because the label could become an identity that you latch onto that prevents you from getting better if that makes sense.
