@eissshope: when your sense of self is derived from story and not reality, control is required to keep the narrative alive and intact #selfawareness #boundaries #clarity #relationshipadvice #emotionalintelligence
I have BPD and you’re right. I had to lose everyone to realize that I was being the villain. Now I check in with myself and others constantly to make sure everyone feels like they have autonomy over their choices. I want to be a good person so so bad.

it's so sad when you realise in hindsight you were never in the same conversation as them when you were speaking with each other.

Can confirm. Decided I didn’t ever belong as a kid. Tried to control everyone’s perception of me. Healed the wound, decided I inherently belong—no longer give a 💩 what people think

i was with a friend who was retelling a story of something that happened to us to someone else. their recounting was from such a different perspective than mine i realized they had been experiencing & interacting with the world in a way that i never would. had to end the friendship shortly afterwards bc i continued to see the pattern

It is possible! It happened to me 7 years ago. Every single piece of my “mask” and false identity was stripped away from me. It was so painful. At the time I no longer wanted to exist. But I rebuilt completely and now I am empathetic and kind and compassionate. But my “mask” was created in my teens and not as young as some, so I think that’s how I was able to revert.

Literally just went through this with a best friend of 15 yrs 🥲 I could sense some manipulation but was unaware of the lengths she was willing to go & how she was ultimately siphoning my energy. Said a prayer and the mask fell instantly

Rejection is so incredibly hard, the story I had has not come to the fruition. I have no idea what to do with myself anymore.

I told my ex one day like you always in some mess or got something happening to you like why can't we have some peace sometimes

I literally am having to work through this in therapy 💀. I noticed my tendency to lie and try to contort what happened to make myself feel stable and make myself feel like I was always the victim, and lately I haven’t been in a situation where I’ve had to actually handle being wrong. I’ve been able to apologize and acknowledge my PAST wrongs and to forgive myself for not being honest with myself but I can’t tell if my progress is actually happening because I don’t see it.

Change is so uncomfortable and most often that sort of change occurs only when staying the same is too painful
