The title is pretty much self-explanatory. Despite not being that prevalent compared to some other disorders or just rare things that you make a minority (eg. being autistic, LGBT+, Physical disability etc.) and despite having known a lot of people quite closely over the years, never ever have I known someone with diagnosed BPD that I could have a chat with, no one that would really get some of the things that go on in my brain. 

And it only occurred to me recently, some really close friends in the past have got to know me very personally even with all the individual components that make up my BPD but I feel like they can never truly understand and fully empathize with how I'm feeling.

And it can feel a bit isolating, I am gay and realized fairly early on and had a few years without really knowing anyone else who was queer and it definitely felt isolating and now when I'm 20 it really reminds me of how I felt back then.

Also since being diagnosed and understanding BPD, I feel like some of my friends I've had in the past have shown varying amounts of symptoms and I sometimes wonder if they might be dealing with undiagnosed BPD but I don't want to just walk up into their face and be like "Hey! Remember when we were close friends a year ago? I think you might have BPD as well!"

Just a bunch of thoughts, let me know what you think! :)
