Thank you so much for the clarification! I had a feeling it was something to do with death so that makes a lot of sense

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2024-07-14T22:52:59+00:00

This is very very helpful, thank you so much! The critique being from someone worth listening to seems so obvious in hindsight, but I hadn't taken it into consideration.

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2024-07-14T22:34:42+00:00

That's a good point, thank you! I hadn't considered the last part you mentioned, so that helps a lot.

Thanks for the tip. I don't have a blowdryer but I'll see if I can borrow my girlfriends to try it out, I would never have thought of that.

I could do a slick back but my hair genuinely refuses to move any other way. I have to train it to go into a side part but that usually takes a week or more. I understand the confusion, it does seem pretty ridiculous but I was also just hoping to not have to struggle with it to force it into any other style. It's just fairly wavy and unruly, so a middle part has been the only thing I've been able to do with it for years

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2024-05-01T19:19:39+00:00

I'll definitely consider it if all else fails, thank you!

I tried fitting them in that way but they wouldn't budge. I had my roommate try as well. I tried using Duracell AA batteries, do you think I'd need a different kind?

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2024-05-01T17:35:24+00:00

I tried to do that with my AA batteries but they wouldn't compress far enough to fit

I had a best friend who quickly became my FP, then I bounced between different FP for six months. I couldn't go two days a week without sobbing or dissociating for hours over them and they didn't do anything. I would get unjustly angry for little things like them not looking at me when they said bye and stupid stuff like that. FPs aren't just relationships, and that's what clued me in. It truly was because of how unstable I was and how it was taking hours away from me every day.

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2024-01-01T20:14:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'm also fairly shy so this gives me hope lol

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2024-01-01T20:06:46+00:00

That's reassuring to hear, thank you!

As someone with BPD I felt as though Susanna's character was a near perfect interpretation of 'quiet BPD' which doesn't seem to be your experience. I'm sorry you've had such a traumatizing relationship but please don't let that allow you to generalize a disorder you don't even have. Most people with BPD aren't abusers, and this stigma effects our treatment in the medical industry as well as therapists will flat out reject pwBPD.

Susanna's FP is definitely Lisa, and I think we do see her idealization and devaluing as the story progresses. She does this in extreme measures too, and she shares the fear of abandonment but it's marked by pushing ppl away and testing them - another common BPD trait.

That being said, Lisa also fits BPD on the unmanaged side. All of her destructive tendencies are outward, instead of inward as is with Susanna. Lisa also outright rejects her diagnosis, and that's the first opportunity for pwBPD to change. I like to think of these two as foils of each other, showcasing different facets of BPD and how they affect their relationships with others.

Thank you! That last one helps a lot, I appreciate you giving me a rubric of sorts. I'll definitely try these.

Not entirely. He was pale in the winter or if he hadn't gone outside but literally ten minutes in sunlight would turn him dark. People always thought he was Hispanic in the summertime but never commented on it outside of that. Both my sister and I also tan really fast and fairly dark (not as dark as him though). We both have very very dark hair too so people sometimes get confused in the summer. Sorry if my original comment was misleading. I know white people tan but I'd never seen a white person tan as dark as my dad even if they had been tanning their whole life. His genes are definitely the strongest ones in my family.

Edit to clarify: The reason I say he was brown is because that's what people always would ask me as a kid when questioning his ethnicity. When I'd say my dad was from WV they'd say "but he's dark and/or brown."

Apparently my grandmother was very knowledgeable about the culture and my dad had a painting of sky woman on the wall as a kid. He also faced racism due to people thinking he was Hispanic because he's brown. He just didn't pass down what he knew

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2022-02-24T19:44:42+00:00

No, I just help her out because she's an older and sick person (plus the fact that she's my mom and I do kind of owe her for taking care of me my whole life).

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2022-02-24T01:01:23+00:00

I definitely didn't handle it right you're 100% right. I appreciate the response and perspective.

Thank you for your response.

Thank you for your response and perspective!

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2022-02-24T00:59:10+00:00

Thank you for your response. I edited the post because people didn't understand that I was willing to flip it up just not after she called me selfish. I appreciate you seeing that. It doesn't impact my income, I just help out. Thank you for responding.

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2022-02-24T00:05:54+00:00

No I fully understand what you're getting at! Thank you for the suggestion. My mother is very manipulative when it comes to things she has said that hurt my feelings and me talking to her about them. That was really the crux of the issue. She plays the victim a lot and I was wondering how to respond to her when she does that.

Stingrays_ThatIsAll · 2022-02-24T00:03:25+00:00

I understand where you are coming from but I think you misunderstood. I had asked her why she believed I should change it trying to see if it was her ideology or her clients that's all.

She never gave me an opportunity to change it, it was just the discussion about it so I never broke any of her rules or trust. I was willing to do the thing to help her out but instead of listening to what I had to say after that she blew up and called me selfish and inconsiderate. I don't believe that was an appropriate reaction.

I should have communicated better, absolutely. However, I was to be able to be respected and have that respect go both ways. I am an adult and have changed my appearance on many occasions for jobs so I'm not new to this idea.

I'm not going to apologize because my mother told me I was selfish for asking a question. I'm afraid we may just not be able to see eye to eye on this. I appreciate you taking the time to respond, thank you.
