- being quiet when you first meet someone so you can work out what kind of person they are and then tailor your personality to what you think they’d prefer

- choosing a personality for a date/meetup/interview/whatever is even more important than choosing an outfit

- tfw neurotypicals interpret you saying “i’ve been good” as “mental illness who? never heard of her” when in reality it’s more like “it’s been 2 days since our last abandonment scare”

- having a fight with someone due to mood swings and then it being awkward 20 minutes later when they’re pissed off and your mood has swung back up and you don’t care for what you just fought about

- cutting someone off before they can, then dissociating for the next month straight because you don’t know who the fuck you are without them

• Not everyone who does (insert dysfunctional behavior here) has bpd

• Everyone does that

• Everyone feels this way

• You always overreact

• Why are you such a drama queen

• I also do (insert dysfunctional behavior here) and I don’t have bpd

• Oh so you’re saying everyone who does (insert dysfunctional behavior here) has a personality disorder…yeah right

• Oh my God calm down

• Can you stop? You’re embarrassing us

BPD thoughts in a nutshell.
