I’ve seen posts about a certain woman involved in a certain court case who supposedly has BPD. They point out how a trait of BPD is copying other people, show her copying other people, and then say “see how awful she is?” 

Now…please, I don’t want this to be a discussion about the case. Really…please don’t discuss it more than you need to. But I do the same. I copy others. I don’t have a sense of self. I have no “me”. When I talk to myself I do so via the voice and mannerisms of other people. I watched some jacksepticeye a while back and my inner voice talked exactly like he did. Expressions and idioms are a mystery to me in terms of when to use them. So I copy the patterns of how I’ve heard other people speak. And I bad for this?
