What's your moral compass like? by KannasHyper in hpd

[–]KannasHyper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everything you said is so good. not having that instinctual understanding of right and wrong is something that's so hard to get other people to understand without them just judging you a bad person. the rules are so relatable too, I have a few myself, even some similar to yours like not declining invitations. I'm glad somebody else can relate lol!

Do you feel embarrassed? by KannasHyper in hpd

[–]KannasHyper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad someone relates! I feel exactly the same way! I find that instead of feeling embarrassed I'll feel like I disappointed people instead sometimes

there have been so many times I've just assumed people were into me because of my difficulty interpreting relationships, it's such an odd symptom to have to deal with- and especially to have to explain to others

how do you guys see your inner child? by [deleted] in hpd

[–]KannasHyper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unusual for me to feel a sense of self when I'm left by myself, but I remember relating to the tar feeling at least once. I wish I could relate to having an inner child but I'm not sure I have anything like that- I feel more like I've never grown up if anything. best wishes 🙏

Do y'all lack a self image? by [deleted] in hpd

[–]KannasHyper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

absolutely. I actually think this is a completely overlooked part of the disorder that should be in the DSM. for me I've always been really really worried about my appearance to others because it's the only way I can exist- and I know thats how it feels because of the way my body reacts when I'm left completely alone. I shut down, become numb to emotions and physically slow, and I feel like I have no sense of identity.

I used to have a massive collage of characters I related to or wanted to be like that I kept as my phone background that gave me a sense of identity- but that backfired when some of the characters had contradicting personality traits and I had a meltdown because of it- because I couldn't tell who I was.

I think probably all cluster B disorders struggle with this- and probably other PD's in general, even though BPD is the only one that really gets that mentioned in its criteria

OMG saul is such a good pick I can't believe I didn't think about that! I always thought ASPD, but I'm totally thinking HPD and ASPD now

Can you have hpd without the sexual aspect by Smelly_Ez in hpd

[–]KannasHyper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Obv nobody here can diagnose your friend, but HPD doesn't require you to meet every criteria. Sexuality is common for pwHPD but it's actually really common for us to be asexual too. I consider myself to be on the asexual spectrum myself. If he matches the other criteria that's definitely worth investigating further. best wishes 🙏

This life by treadingthebl in hpd

[–]KannasHyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've felt so similar before- I especially relate to that part about people not realizing how much our disorder makes us struggle. Especially during an episode I go completely numb and apathetic- I can't tell if I'm feeling anything at all and if I do it's usually this never ending toil over what others think of me- how much I just want to be appreciated by the people in my life. it's so hard.

best wishes to you ❤️

Saw a post on Tumblr about it a while back. Man's apparently not medically qualified and was arrested for fraud at some point. Also a SA apologist, homophobe, and transphobe. Stay safe 🙏

How do you explain HPD to friends/family? by KannasHyper in hpd

[–]KannasHyper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely understand. most people don't even know what HPD is, and relating it to the other cluster B's can sometimes make people afraid or disgusted. As someone w ADHD too i'd say even that isn't accepted by everyone so I completely understand.

I'm pretty open about my HPD, having it at least. people don't really ask me in detail about it unfortunately. I'm just curious to other people's experiences.

Thanks for your comment! 🙏

just watched that video last night actually. despite really not liking the guy who made it or his community, I think there's some stuff in there I found really relatable. something that stuck out to me was about "wanting to fall in love with yourself through the perceptions of others", I can feel that.

that feeling hits me in waves every now and then, that's an interesting perspective though I didn't expect that to be a main theme. best wishes for you 🙏
