Hello, silly US American here. I haven't ever travelled outside of the USA, which I really want to change. After earning about how other cultures interact with each other, I have to ask: how is BPD perceived?

For example, I've spent a couple years learning French. I loved learning how French culture is a bit more subdued or stringent, and that people get uncomfortable if you get too personal with them. As an American who has always worn his heart on his sleeve, I cannot even fathom how I would survive in a society like that. 

I've also heard about the British "stiff upper lip" and I am curious about how BPD people from outside the USA have differing experiences with their "personality" going even more against the grain of that society. 

I'm sure this could be applied to so many different countries in Europe, South America, Asia, Africa. Maybe it's wrong, but I'd assume that BPD cases tend to come from more developed countries because of access to care.

I have really come to resent the USA because of my student debt and healthcare troubles and I've been finding myself fantasizing about moving to a country where government aid isn't looked at like facism. I also really appreciate how from my perspective, France seems to be more Nihilist and Secular.  

Any input would be greatly appreciated international friends (or even USA citizens with travel experience)!
