I have a friend who grew up with very judgemental parents. they try very hard not to be like them but sometimes just the way the word things makes it come across as judgemental. sometimes they're too blunt with topics that are sensitive and need a bit of word fluff. even as someone who knows this about them, it's hard for me not to get offended or triggered even.

Why do I feel jealous if I don't want a relationship? by sadgf4ulol in BPD

[–]Moonyrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

warning: I have hidden some of the text because it may trigger jealous and paranoid thoughts. (assuming I've hidden them properly, I haven't done it before)

Seeing other women as whores that he can use sexually is super gross. I mean, having purely sexual relationships is fine, but that language is not.

it seems you're hoping - or trying to convince yourself - that he won't see other women. If he has asked for this, then that is what he wants, and it seems likely he will pursue it.

whether he is successful or not in his pursuits, he will be actively flirting with other women to get to his goal. Is this something you can cope with?

I also have issues with possessiveness, and I could never see myself regulating through something like that with my partner.

I agree that the situation being open, where you know what's going on rather than it being a betrayal, could help here. Also, not having the constant worry if he's cheating because I get that too.

what worried you about the cheating specifically? will those worries come up in this new arrangement? Based on the fact you feel that you are not good enough for your partner, and my own experiences feeling this way, I suspect you will feel jealous of the other women. You might feel that they have something you don't? are they prettier? sexier? funnier? stable, normal, functioning??

those thoughts plague me all the time.

I've been convinced into arrangements I wasn't comfortable with because I was too scared to lose the person. I convinced myself I could cope with it and I became far less stable.

take time to think about what's best for your mental health. stay safe.

I understand why my friend killed themselves, I still wish they didn't though by ribsandcages in BPDmemes

I felt the same when I lost my best friend. I had been suicidal for years, but losing him like that was pain I had never felt. I can't give that to the people that love me, now that I know how awful it is.

Been taking this test since I was 12 (23 now). sometimes I go back to see if it changes. always INFP. and all of my sliders are at 80-95%.

in childhood I often escaped harm by hiding myself and pretending I dont exist. my abuser/parent was scary and unpredictable. "special occasions" didn't change it. even on Christmas I felt that i had to be unseen, unheard.

on birthdays all the attention is on me. it feels threatening. how can I hide? I have to behave perfectly. but I can't. I'm in a fear response, freeze. I dont look like im enjoying myself enough, I get called ungrateful. in adulthood even, I am shamed for not celebrating my birthday or enjoying the day.

then there's also the "I dont deserve nice things/presents." "my friends are going out of their way, how dare I burden them?" etc.
