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 being so worried that someone (esp your fp) doesn’t like you that you get physically sick just thinking of them

BPD culture is no one ever believing in me even when I'm telling the truth, no one listens to me and when I try to defend myself they call me spoiled and childish???? Why even try telling them my side of the story if it's gonna be useless
.
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 worlds first masochist narcissist has just interrupted bdsm roleplay after realizing they're actually really pissed off at the idea of someone else being in control
bpd culture is being kind of okay for a period of time and wondering if you even have bpd and then having an extremely bad episode
.
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 living in constant guilt and misery over the fact that some personality disorder you had no control over and didn't ask for will permanently ruin your life and relationships forever. Nothing is more discouraging than knowing that the way I am is literally exactly what people are told to avoid in friends/partners/etc. making me virtually untouchable and most likely forever alone. The isolation really gets to me sometimes and honestly at this point I'd rather be dead than alone and hated by society for a disorder that I never even asked for in the first place.

nd culture is feeling like everyone hates you and not understanding why

bpd question, what exactly is splitting? i hear abt it a lot and i think i might have bpd but i can’t figure out what it is lmao
Splitting is an extreme change in thinking, and this can go both positive and negative (or black and white)
Splitting white is when you idealize and idolize someone, thinking they're the best person ever and nobody can ever compare to them, that they have no flaws, and that they'd never hurt you in any way, intentionally or unintentionally. That they always love you. They make you feel the happiest you've ever been.
Splitting black is the opposite of that. Devaluing someone, thinking that they're the worst person ever or that they've always hurt you. That they're so flawed beyond repair. That they never really loved you. Wanting to insult them and being so angry at them. Or being so distraught and depressed at the thought of them, feeling betrayed almost. Just a complete contrast to the highs you'd get from them.
You may notice it's similar to black and white thinking, but b&w thinking is in a general context, while splitting is specific to a person or group of people.
Hope that helps some!
