It’s mainly because I need to protect myself and safety. Sharing that I have BPD is extremely hard for me to do. When it comes to dating, I am very cautious of telling a potential boyfriend or girlfriend that I have this. Not because I fear scaring them off; I just don’t want it thrown back in my face.

My coworkers and acquaintances don’t need to know. And if we haven’t made it past the 3 month mark then that vulnerability would’ve been a waste.

Does anyone else have this view on revealing your BPD to people?
