I have a friend who keeps telling me he doesn’t think I have BPD every time I bring it up. I have more of a quiet form.

The other day we were talking and he said that people with BPD aren’t aware they have BPD, and I was like no...I disagree with that.

It’s kind of starting to wear on me and get annoying. I’ve been diagnosed and I’m certain that I at least have the tendencies. Also, I know what goes on in my head better than he does and he’s only known me for a few months.

Anyone have experience with this? It’s frustrating and annoying and I feel like he’s invalidating my experience. 

He also said I don’t have social anxiety, which I definitely do. I’ve missed a ton of work because of it.
