I was diagnosed a few months ago and a lot of my issues that give me a lot of trouble made a lot more sense and it was just really valuable. My best friend (I don’t want to say FP because I think FP culture is really toxic and contributes to a weird toxic circle jerk on this sub) didn’t research it or ask about it at all, which is ok except usually she’s really supportive and stuff. She’s always been really good to me, but even when I was misdiagnosed bipolar she made no effort to understand. I tried to explain a lot of things like how I have a weird altered perception of reality from everyone else, and she just said “Everyone has their own reality, and if you have your own reality, you should be able to control it”, which really pissed me off because she just did not want to hear it or research or do anything. I really don’t know what to say to her because I know if I tell her it bothers me that she doesn’t put any effort or research into it, she will just say that she’s already given me the world (which she has) and that she’s really busy (she is). I don’t know if I’m an asshole for wanting her to be educated, but I feel like it still sucks that when I do try to explain, she just dismisses it as an everyone issue, which she would not do if she did literally any research. She hasn’t even done the bare minimum of typing “what is bpd” on google.
