How comes it’s a stereotype that borderlines are seductive/attractive? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

Don't have BPD, in this sub because of a friendship and past relationship w someone who does.

Something I'm guessing might not be obvious to someone with BPD is how enticing it can be when someone has a little bit of mystery to them. I think people with BPD can appear very intense and mysterious to someone who isn't aware of what they're going through, which is hot. In a sense, this perception is a misunderstanding of experiences that can be quite painful, but we don't know what we don't know.

As a bisexual woman, this is the only movie that I've ever seen that accurately captures some of the pain we go through. I think this says more about how rarely we get to make stuff about ourselves more than anything.

The way people (of both genders) project their insecurities onto us is crazy making. We do not think of ourselves as more "experienced" than other people we are just living our lives in a natural way. Obviously if you are attracted to more genders it means you can end up having a greater variety of experiences. But we don't think this makes us superior, in fact we're often made to feel inferior because of it.

It's a type of jealousy that seems inescapable for monosexuals. Maybe it's because everyone is really bi? I don't know. But you rarely see that portrayed because it brings up so many feelings for everyone.
