LOL oh god, this post! I am currently seeing a girl who obviously has BPD. The way she acts is exactly how BPD is described. I've known her for years, and each time we've had a go....dated a bit...it's been a fucking nightmare! First time she lied about haivng a bf, then pulled away, making me think ''wtf?''.
I'm in a mess with her SPAM as well!
There MUST be a way to win people with BPD over though. Considering they ''NEED'' attention, there MUST be a way to turn it around on them, and make them want you more instead?
That is what I've been pondering. Each time In the past I've escaped, and she has been very uspet when I have done, so I'm wonderign whether playing tug and pull with her will work. Give her something that no one else will...then pull back, don't give it etc.
They are impossible to understand. Impossible. I wasted huge amounts of time trying to understand this one girl, now I'm sure she has BPD and probably autistic. But I feel slightly more sane as in, I know shes mental, I know shes lying about having a boyfriend again to me lol, I'm just playing along. She isn't purposefuly playing games, she can't help it...but the only way is to play it as a game back at her!
To think you can win someone over with BPD only shows you don't understand the disorder. Somebody with NPD you can 'win over' if you merely reflect to them what they want to see within themselves (appeal to their own vanity), but with BPD (the most difficult PD in the book) you're only kidding yourself.
I am a counseling psychologist in training, and I can tell you that the majority of my instructors who have been in the field for years absolutely DREAD working with BPD clients - it is the most difficult PDs to work with why you'd want to be with a BPD client is odd UNLESS you have a personality disorder yourself.
I absolutely agree with this post. I was only with my BPDex 8 or 9 months and, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm quite emotionally strong, I think I'd have been on anti-depressants or hanging from a rope by my neck because of the nightmare she put me through.
I'm glad I got out early enough, even though I should have took serious notice of the red flags before I met her, but I just didn't know anything about personality disorders at the time, and nor did I understand how much damage she could inflict upon me.
You're right about BPD being the most resistant of PD's for therapists to treat, and I pity anyone who falls into the web of the BPD.
These energy vampires really do steal a piece of your soul, and I'd advise anyone to avoid them like the plague, no matter how hot they are and their sex is.
