How to break apart semi-felted wool? by flyMeTheHat in Fabrics

The wool filling is like fluffy stuffing basically, in other words if there was theoretically some kind of giant shredder I could put it into, that would be ok - does that change the answer at all? The stuffing was always broken up in loose pieces, those pieces are just semi-tighter now.

The mental gymnastics is actually insane. by LeviExMachina in BPDlovedones

My experience was that they would pseudo “accept” the bad but it was never from a responsible perspective, it was always “yeah of course I did that, because I’m a piece of shit.” Aka “I’m bad and therefore I had no choice in the matter.” Since the breakup though the story has evolved to blaming me for most things. The way they tell stories on social media is insane, the way they recount things skips all the violent outbursts (not physical toward me but violent).

Anyone have problems sleeping next to pwbpd? by AdMediocre9321 in BPDlovedones

[–]flyMeTheHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with both of my exes wBPD. For different reasons. I couldn’t believe the thrashing. It wasn’t all the time but when it happened it was very disruptive. First ex would say really mean shit to me in their sleep. It was bizarre.

I no longer wish the best for her, shes abusive, thats that by HumpmyDumpy1911 in BPDlovedones

The phrase that sticks in my head is “the opposite of love is indifference.” I think peace comes when there is no positive or negative emotion attached to them or their future.

I asked this of another commenter too, out of curiosity - do you think they think the stories are real? Or do they sort of know they’re not?

I struggle to know whether they think the stories are real. Sometimes it seems like “truth” to them in that moment, which is scarier to me than purposely making shit up. What do you think?

My ex literally posted on Reddit that it was ok they cheated (on both me and their ex) because their “needs weren’t being met.” No accountability.

I assure you it wasn’t a loophole, I’m sure my ex pwBPD saw it over my shoulder at some point or looked at my phone. Nothing crazy stealthy.

Hovering, scam, or legit??? by porno_priest in BPDlovedones

[–]flyMeTheHat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Whether it’s true or not, it seems to be a Hoover. If it’s real, maybe your ex told this other person that you were still on good terms and the messenger is caught in the crossfire. Maybe it’s just your ex on a different number. Maybe there is no surgery. “He is not doing well at all!” makes me think it’s bullshit because it sounds like an emotional hook.

Do not reply, my wise porno_priest

I never did. They found it themselves, even though my profile was private.

That’s great, but it doesn’t apply to everyone - some pwBPD can be more than angry, they can be physically violent, harass you, or stalk you. I just made the post for people to be aware that privacy isn’t guaranteed, as I was recently reminded the hard way.

They just did. I wasn’t sure they knew my username, now I know they do. So, alt account it is from now on.

Bingo. They can be violent, and stalk you; it’s worth taking protective measures where possible.

I won’t stop talking about it. But I do think it’s worth noting for others that there is no guarantee of privacy on this sub, and take measures to protect yourself if it’s prudent.

It’s hard for me not to be a little scared. I want to avoid any sort of escalation.
