“Love is not a magical feeling, for every ounce of happiness you gain from love, you eventually gain a pound of pain from Loss”

“The meaning of life isn’t complex nor undefined.  It’s the definition “YOU” give it by the choices YOU make”

“The reason people fall out of love is they are too stuck on loving how the other person makes them feel rather than simply loving the other person.”

“The hardest thing isn’t walking away, nor is it continuously showing love to someone who seemingly out of the blue hates you.  The hardest thing is knowing that if you don’t show her the unconditional love she was deprived of that it’s highly likely she may remove herself from this world and a world without her is a world you have no interest in.”

“Never worry about proving you are right, just play dumb and usually the other person does all the work for you.”

“If you find yourself confused or constantly second guessing your choices, you’ve likely been making decisions based on external validation.”

“Don’t base your self-worth on the acceptance of others.  Base the worthiness of others to be in your life on the acceptance of the real you.  Refuse to do so and you will lose yourself in a never-ending downward spiral of perfectionism and self doubt.”

“Remember, never let compliments go to your head while taking criticism to heart.  We cannot learn from compliments and we shouldn’t base our self worth on the criticism of others.”

Those are just a few quotes this covert schizoid wrote based on what he learned from someone with BPD.
