Not saying that these folks on TV have BPD, but I've been binging 90 Day Fiance lately and I realize that I relate to some of the least liked characters. Emotional instability, being way too clingy w/ people they barely know, hot and cold behavior, outbursts? Check, check, check. I've done all of that.  


 It's probably not great that I'm entertained by this stuff, though some of it is genuinely heart-warming and I like seeing the cultural differences too, but I find that I don't really hate a lot of the characters many people seem to. In fact, it kind of makes me feel better that other people have also acted out in relationships and have flaws? I do wish people would be more charitable with them, though. They're just people who make mistakes like everyone else. I'm so glad that no one had a camera in my face during my late teens - mid 20s.
