Does anyone ever get like really upset and possessive over having bpd when someone you know and like (friend, partner, etc;) discovers they have it too? Or possibly has it? I don’t know why but I do, I get wildly angry and upset and even, rude about it. Like, “no, it’s *my personality disorder*, not yours.”
It’s so weird, though. Because I should be understanding right? I hate feeling this way, it’s so selfish and stupid, or feels that way at least. If anything, I should be encouraging and empathetic since I know it’s a painful thing to live with.
