I’m in a BPD group on Facebook, and all the time I see people talking about doing some really shitty, toxic things and it blows my mind.

Just for one example, I saw a person on there talk about how she cannot handle it when she’s out to eat at a restaurant and they accidentally mess up her order. She said she always makes a scene and has gotten kicked out several times as well as been banned from a few places. And of course, she attributes it to her BPD. I’ve never done anything like that, nor would I ever dream of it. I went undiagnosed/untreated for several years and even at my worst, I never would have done that or some of the other things they talk about. And what’s more, there are other people I know with BPD that would never act that way either.
