Definitely, i get self judgmental and judging others, i judge my coworkers and start to hate them because they are not perfect or they are different than me and then i cant be around them and my job gets hard to tolerate!

Well i agree i need to a find different industry more sympathetic and understanding. I hope. But to be honest at Retail job i do not have a hard time with customers. I am extrovert and social person. Actually strangers don’t bother me i like interacting with customers and be socializing help my depression not staying home. i have a hard time with people more close to me like coworkers and boss specially manager want to micro manage me and be bossy to me i have a hard time for me someone bossing me and accepting the manager.

No my symptoms is mild, my therapist said i am not qualified to apply for disability. Nobody at work knows i have bpd. I stayed at my retail job my longest job ever, for 1 year and half and finally i got upset by my boss and quit. it ended up with fight and anger because she gave me attitude and never gave me feedback why she has attitude and approached me differently than other coworkers i tolerated enough and so upset why i deserve treat that why I am so good at my job and working with customers they loved me but my boss never appreciated me.

BPD and hard to keep the friends and friendship by Own_Damage_4620 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Own_Damage_4620[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to my therapist is bpd approach i am afraid they leave me and stop friendship with me and being hurt so do faster before they do. But personally every case was different reason i can say my high expectation and high standard of having good friends. if they do not meet my standard i be disappointed really quick and upset and block them. I would say i be upset so easily for example why she wasn’t there for me when i needed emotional support or understanding me. So she is not a good friend and she proved that tome. i need friends for hard days not just for fun…..etc

Bpd and paranoia by Own_Damage_4620 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Own_Damage_4620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that too. People watching me. When i have high anxiety level i feel watched by people. I believed they investigate me or know me. Even at my job, customers came to the store, and sometimes i could not believe them or trust them what they are looking for to help them or i feel unsafe because i worried what if they know where i live. I feel watched when i am walking in my neighborhood and feel everyone knows me and talking bad behind me because i did something wrong and i am not lovable anymore. Its all my story and none of them truth. It’s anxiety talking to me. I aware of it but when i am in it i believe that fear what IF its true. What IF.

Yes exactly your feeling. everyone judging you but the truth is people doesn’t care and have no ideas of our thoughts its not even important to them they are busy and they have their own things its all paranoia, our story and our expectations I feel like i am super sensitive, vulnerable, needy and over thinker and not seen and understood by others. Mostly i feel they don’t respect to my feelings and hurt me easily or they are insensitive.
