I think that it is like being a dog who was abandonned, I need a new familly, I need them to show me that they will love and protect me. At first, I am afraid and I don't trust this person, but with time and care, I warm up to them. Then, I constantly need their attention and approval. When they're not here, I am sad, I can throw a temper tantrum. Then, this "new familly" thinks that I am causing too much trouble and abandon me too. And so the cycle goes on... I stay in a corner, weeping faintly and waiting for someone to save me.

I remember that I read a story about a dog who was so happy to see their master, then something bad happenned and it instantly became sad. I just related so much. I think that my BPD makes me behaving like a dog, except that I live more in  the past than a dog, but the intense emotions, the fear of being abandonned, the jealousy and protectiveness, it's everything that a dog have for their loved ones. When a dog has no love, the dog does not exist, just like me. For me and the dog, the most important thing in the world is Love. We need someone to love us and care about us, everything that our caregiver feels, we feel it a thousand time more. Everything orders and words from our caregiver is a new opportunity for us to make them proud and happy. We thrive on the love and pride of our caregiver for us. Being abandonned by them destroys us, but we are so naive, we could have never fathom that this day would happen. Yet we always feared that this day would happen.

Another character that I relate to is the Damsel in Distress, the Lost Princess. Waiting for a knight or a prince to save them, except that he never come. So the soul becomes full of disappointment, bitterness and melancholy. Emptiness replaces patience. The princess keeps looking outside, waiting to see someone who will save them, but nobody come. It almost become mechanical, looking outside, waiting, and sleeping: dreaming for a fairy tale who will never be granted. 

I think this is why I love puppies and princesses so much, because they are me. Because they express my BPD in a sympathetic way that I can understand. And also because puppies are fucking cute and princesses are great XD.
