Someone on one of reddit's many support subreddits made a post about "hating borderlines" He said they/we were all inherently abusive and manipulative. And when I responded with "Hey, I have borderline and I've never self-harmed, attempted suicide, or accused anyone falsely of rape as a means to control others. I find your post cruel and offensive. I'm sorry for what you've been through but please don't call all people with BPD abusers. That can be very hurtful", all he said was "You're making this all about you, you, you. You're one of them. You have taken this opportunity to cry about how victimized you are. Go and get help and stop blaming everybody but yourself." And people upvoted him and downvoted me. I didn't even swear at him. Not once!

I happen to be in DBT and I happen to be learning about all the skillful coping mechanisms, mindfulness, distress tolerance, etc. Good grief. I don't understand what happened back there...

I feel really hurt and kind of invalidated, and maybe I'm also thinking he might be right. But then again, I don't think I stepped out of line in my responses. IDK. I just dunno.
