i've seen so many posts here that ask ''does anyone else lack empathy''. when i read that i felt extremely triggered and had a breakdown, all the respect i had for BPD just dropped and i automatically assumed yep ''all borderlines lack empathy and i am not safe from anyone''. it hurts me how some people lack empathy, empathy is the foundation of life. so i want to know, if you have BPD are you also a psychopathic narc who has no regard or empathy for others? i think i might have BPD and yes i have narcissistic traits but i surely have empathy, it is one thing i value in myself and it is going out on a limb for someone i truly love. some comments are triggering because a person who lacked empathy caused havoc in my life.
