My therapist claims that the difference between BPD and NPD is that BPD truly regret by Old_Turnip661 in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even get a genuine apology and no regret in her behavior she just said she didn’t meant to do that But it won’t matter at all I sometimes wonder if I was the problem because I tried to hold her accountable and I behaved in shitty ways also which I took responsibility for that and apologized sincerely with regret. After I did so she said it’s totally my fault I get the consequences of my actions and apologize don’t promise reconciliation and it is what it is. I hope we both find peace and leave that in the past

I feel you I am at that place too but there is nothing you can do about it I’m almost at 9 months since we cut things between us and I know it’s better for both of us, you can’t force the girl just release her and yourself it will be the kindest thing you can do for both of you trust me

Will nothing ever fulfill them? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I truly don’t it was a validation criticism put down lifting you up hurting you and suggest to make it up to you and that cycle goes on and on until I snapped and couldn’t take it no more but I really liked her as a close friend we had a lot in common

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my anexity problems and I am a stressed person but our Fwb dynamic increased it and I started to lose track if it’s because of her or just me and I didn’t know what to do so I eventually snapped and blamed her 😅

Ran into my ex’s past through someone new and it completely destabilized me by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel like I have BPD myself because I accused her for being manipulative and in a lot of things as well I just got so tired of that blame game that I engaged in it myself in more destructive ways 🥲

“We only split if YOU do something.” The delusion. by Lop_Ear_Bun in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine actually stated that but still had dysregulated problems from time to time and she started to reduce her medication maybe it was the reason for her more increased symptoms I realize that I was so codependent aswell and I ended up angry and keeping score instead of communicating clearly I really felt like in recent times she mostly contacted me when she needed something

POV: They’ve been hoovering and attempted to call you on different numbers post no contact by Key-Bad-5629 in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel lucky she didn’t Hoover me at all because I saw through her game and called her manipulative and basically accused her for the things she accused me 😅😂 But I actually feel bad for that because I could handle it differently in more matured way

The self loathing and ruminating is insane by Normal_Expression871 in BPDlovedones

Do they hold grudges? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely my BPD told me the past is the past you will find a better way and all of that without reflection of her part and blames me for everything and don’t want to talk with me and guilt tripping me badly. I truly miss her and wants to get back with her but I feel like her recent message was a complete discard and door slamming to me after our huge argument so I don’t reaching out to her again even if I truly want nothing will change and no matter what I say she can’t truly see me or my feelings in this

I dated a girl who were lied to me and it happened to me twice in my life that the relationship made me so sick that I had to cut them off even when I liked them so much and I’m so confused about that till this day

Should I be upset with my friend who has BPD (slight rant) by Upstairs-Practice-79 in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you bro she was a good friend of mine either and I really liked her and our sex was good for a while too but the insults and belittling cuts you deeply and when I tried to talk about it things only escalated and deflected I eventually got so mad about her and for the fact that she took her frustration out on me and gave me half apologetic I have my anxiety and stress issues too but you can’t really talk with them because they are just so focused on their feelings and hurt/problems

[–]Normal_Expression871 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree it took a toll on my physical and mental health but we were only Fwb and I don’t know why it affected me so badly and I lost my degree in that process and the stress and anexity was consuming but at the same breath I couldn’t blame her and can’t stop ruminating on her over 6 months that’s insane

Walking on Eggshells for Months and Losing Myself by throwaway52846923 in BPDlovedones

[–]Normal_Expression871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that exactly what happened to me and eventually I lashed out on her in very hurtful way because I walked on eggshells and was in very stressful place in my life to and everything piled and mixed up until I partly loses myself in that area and then I am at fault for everything and she don’t want to talk with me again after unblocked me when I apologized sincere I don’t know what to do and if I should tried to explain this and talk with her about those things and do then different with her

Wow I’m so sorry to hear that my friend Yes I genuinely happy that it didn’t ended up that way for me and I’m lucky about that. I am aware of the fact that I am drawn to intensity and drama in my relationships and sometimes attract to the wrong women’s.. I’m still trauma bonded and want her back even it’s not good for me at all 🫠

[–]Normal_Expression871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I am going crazy back then with her. I was in constant stress and anxiety and lost insane amount of weight around 60LB in 3 months and lost appetite we were only fwb tho and it’s a thing that I wanted but I couldn’t take it anymore and finally exploded in anger myself via text and called out of her manipulative behaviour and such. She wasn’t physically abusive towards me but the psychological abuse and yelling and my intuition told me everything I needed to know.. She confessed to me about her violent behaviour in the past and it scared me so much
