I guess things got way better for me when I started to accept evetyone and everyone's opinions. Because thats their reality.
First step to accepting yourself is accepting others.

Why cant people understand that I’m not being dramatic??? That I genuinely feel like the world around me is on fire & everyone is just watching me burn alive???
having BPD means I am hyper sensitive when it comes to perceiving how others feel, except for when it comes to anger. anger is an emotion us with BPD often struggle to perceive. we can think someone is angry when they’re not bc of their tone of voice etc. It’s exhausting
I never really thought about it until now but the reason I instinctually understand people's emotions is because I was forced to pick up small cues to emotional changes in childhood in order to avoid being abused. Riiight.
I think my BPD has my foot constantly in my mouth. The worst part is I'm so highly aware that I am speaking out of turn, interrupting people, sharing unwanted information, or trauma dumping. Yet I can't stop it or control my goddamn erratic mouth.
