    My biggest red flag is mirroring or mimicking. Unstable sense of self. Identity disturbance. Copying people's personality, traits, interests. They become whoever they're dating, whoever they're friends with, whoever they're coworkers with, whichever parent is validating and supporting them.

    I've healed a lot of my bpd issues through self-awareness, therapy, and videos on UA-cam. I'm on the autistic spectrum as well. I'm more quiet, bpd. I don't lash out at others, I turn it in on myself and make myself suffer. I'm not violent at all. I have really struggled with my emotions over the years. It's honesty hell inside at times. I'm really trying to work on myself. Compassion helps. Not treating us like monsters helps. We feel things so deeply. It's intense. It's like having a permanent open wound and rubbing salt in the wound all the time. Thanks for the video.

      Me2. I felt that way before. I gave up drinking, learned to talk through life at life speed instead of medicate it. Gave up bad ideas taught to me my mom and others. Mistaken beliefs were abandoned. Open mind came into play. Realization of things. ❤just tried to be more intelligent in my applications in life.” but those bursts of emotion need be validated. So our partners shouldn’t be letting us RANT, but if we talk about a trauma, because it comes out sometimes, once they see your point, I just try to change my tone to chill and relax to let my partner know it’s all good.” ☺️💯

In my case it was for outings, trips and vacations. I'm real happy i got her our of my system, went to see family in Europe after many years, saw what family and friends is all about, they were just happy to see me and loved me unconditionnally for who i am and not what i provide.

Moreover, she changed her "best friend" at least 7-8 times during our 2 years of relationship. She would go on to be best friends with a total stranger literally in 5 minutes, and dump them within couple of weeks/months without any clear reasoning

  • @VixenTM

    What I find interesting is how much our own biased perception influences how we think about others. At first, I was almost certain my ex had BPD. She was so emotional, switching moods, the depressive talks, etc etc. But, now a few years later, realizing how calculated she was, the category covert narc would be more fitting. No cut marks, no suicidal panicks, just the "you make me depressive" kind of vibes. Yet cannot keep the same jobs, the continous victimhood while being the obvious cause. The very well done smear campaign and perfect behaviour in public made me realize she was in full control in most cases.
    I've spent quite some time thinking what disorder I came into contact with, and the only conclusion I could make its impossible to determine. She is manipulative, physically draining and dangerous for health long-term. People don't need to know more, but I hope videos like these help other people.
    That said, I'd also find it very interesting to see a video on the victims calling themselves clear empaths. I honestly feel like in a majority of cases these people have borderline or even narcissistic characteristics themselves.

    Evidently, I overlooked every single red flag with my last girlfriend before we started dating. I overlooked the fact that she had over 100 sex partners, that she had multiple failed engagements, that she always blamed the guy for the relationships failing and that she would blame me for "triggering" her PTSD from a previous relationship simply because I would call or text her out of concern for her well-being.
    I ignored all of these red flags because she was so nice to me in the beginning and was very attentive to me. And what the hell, we all made mistakes in the past, right?
    She would always tell me she thought I would cheat on her and then leave, so when I actually committed to her in a way to show her I was all in, she then ghosted me the one night for no reason and blamed it on me the next day for triggering her PTSD again. It was back and forth for the next few weeks before I finally had enough. There was literally no way to be right with her in anything I did. And after I left, she accused me of abandoning her when she needed me the most.
    At the time, I knew very little about BPD, but after she accused me of having it, I did my research and saw that most of the criteria applied to her, not me. I wasnt educated enough on the topic to realize I had been put through the idealization phase and the devaluing phase in the span of a few months. But now I know how to avoid these traps in the future.
    And the funny thing is, she is now telling everyone how I manipulated and mentally abused her all that time. It is always the same pattern. These people can't be helped without intensive therapy.

    My biggest red flag is I met a gal at the ski group lodge who introduced herself to me and we talked and went down to the lake, I shared some of my ideas about where I wanted to move to and she mentioned that she lives in Reno and I would be welcomed to come for a weekend at her place and she would show me around. We went to Virginia City for the day and that’s one of my favorite places. That night while we were kicking back watching a movie she brought up when her and this other man who was showing her around the lodge just happened to open the door to the room I was in , I was a bit surprised but it was ok because I was just looking at my email. She said something that night while we were just kicking back about that situation and said they didn’t mean to walk in just in on me in case I was playing with myself and the only response I could think of saying was well I would have locked the door if that was happening. I didn’t know what else to say, I wouldn’t have said something like that to someone I didn’t know. I reflected on it later and her comment made me feel uncomfortable. I’m still considering moving to Reno and I have no problem with being by myself. I’m an adult and I’m actually excited about exploring and moving forward with my plans. Does anyone reading this understand why her comment made me feel weird? If you don’t know someone why would you say something like that. I’ve decided to keep any association with this person casual going forward because I’m sure we will all ski together at some point.

I think it’s time to trust myself when it comes to situations like this and I’m telling you about it to see what you make of it. I’ve had such so much disrespect towards me my whole life that I’m done and I don’t want to be grumpy cat for the rest of my life but this has to stop. There’s no logical reason why I have to go through the rest of my life being made to be someone else’s personal punching bag, I don’t deserve it. I’m trying to be careful about not spilling all the tea about myself when I meet people as a result of my personal experience. When you’re being cautious and careful don’t people still pickup on that and isn’t that an indicator for others to be respectful of the information that you feel you want to share. It’s about 3am right now but I wanted to share this with you and get your feedback.

      I certainly find weird that's the first thing she thought about. And the whole interaction was weird in my opinion, it's someone that you could just date casually, but nothing more serious than that.

      I’m not the least bit scared, my guts telling me something is going on behind my back. There’s more red flags I’ve picked up on and if someone’s afraid because you’ve made it be known that you have boundaries not to be crossed I know exactly what that means. I was just taken by surprise because this person invited me into her home and now I’m being treated as if I’m the bad guy. Here we go again in bully land.

    I broke up with a woman because she would call 15 times a day at my workplace. I didn't knew much about BPD or other disorders at the time. She was calling me few times a day the next day we started dating. It was never enough. I just thought she was extremely needy and it annoyed me.

    My recent experience of trying to date again. She stormed off in a rage because a work friend was talking to me in the street walking along beside us so she stormed off. I had to chase her down and it was all because she felt like she wasn't wanted and felt like a third wheel despite him and I both trying to talk to her. Had a meltdown in a store because I didn't hold her hand (after maybe 6 weeks of dating and she is 41 years old btw). ALL her exes are Narcs and cue the dramatic stories of all the narcs in her family. Would rant to me about exes despite me saying i don't want to hear about your exes. everything had to be about her and she was hyper critical of everything and everyone. She had a melt down that I didn't see her sat somewhere despite fact she never called me over, could have messaged me to say hey im sat here or could have walked 30feet to sit next to me but nope I was drawn out as the bad guy in that and everything was all my fault as per usual. That is where I ended things as I don't need nor want drama in my life. I think for once I have used my head and spotted the red flags and walked away at an early stage but i need work on myself to understand why i keep attracting these types.

    Ooohh. Good one. Before I even get into it, my guess is, 1. Oversharing. 😂I bet he says that one. 2. Trauma bonding. When you share gross stories of human maladaptive scenarios, you’re saying IM DISTURBED. Things bug me. And that’s ok to do. Once. 😂but these stories will come up everyday. Everyday you’ll be charged up with stories of WOAAH and levels of projecting that make heads spin and feel uncomfortable. They’ll be painting themselves as a hero, on a story where they were a clear harm in most cases.” Put it this way, if the person tells you the coffee wasn’t made right, with the energy of “My dog died?” 😂that’s borderline. My guess. ❤some people put too much energy into everything. 1. Talk too much. 2. TOO NEEDY 3. TOO MUCH eye contact. 4. EMOTIONAL agreement. If they REQUIRE agreement or else, that’s a cue. If a person cannot ever stretch his/her head around a concept they can’t perceive? 😬🧠💯

    My ex’s parents seemed to have no respect for others’ time. They were always making plans that we’d only find out about right before the event, like same day! And he’d feel guilty if he didn’t show up… like, they gave us no notice! This is every time they made plans. And he was so sensitive to how they might judge him but didn’t seem to care what screaming at me and calling me names and trying to intimidate me might say about him.
    I don’t get it. I miss him emotionally but I’m practicing sticking with my boundaries which are: no lying and no dehumanizing anyone because that’s just a form of lying.

    Wait!!! Haha Medicated bipolars can have a normal life, we 🙃accept when make mistakes and apologize, we can communicate when we have entered a depressive state or hypomania and ask for help, and we feel guilty when hurting someone to the point of having severe insomnia for days. I dated a borderline girl... disguised as bipolar.. they feel no remorse, and can't take responsibility for their actions, they play with your head, never apologize NEVER, and never make mistakes, they set traps and threaten you, and they leave you with no explanation then reach you back weeks later... in my case 4 TIMES I was stupid enough to fall for it the 4 times... because... impulsivity.

      @@SurnaturalM Exactly, properly medicated, bipolar is a chronic condition. But medication alone is not enough, it has to be complimented with sleep hygiene, sports, and being surrounded by good friends, NO DRUGS, learned that the hard way. Anyway, if you don't have an excellent routine surrounded by good people, and family support, you can go into remission if you stumble across BAD people, Borderlines, Narcissists, and PSYCHOPATHS. Bipolars have to be very aware of other people, we have weak points that cluster B people can easily exploit to their favor, like impulsivity, insomnia, and low self-esteem when we are in a lows depressed state like S.A.D.

    Hi. Would like to know what you think, it's a trait I've noticed that goes in cycles, like his mood, there's a overreaction if someone doesn't understand what his told them, or sometimes you just didn't hear it, so you ask him to say it again, I've done that before not heard it, but the reaction is extreme , he says it's disrespectful that no one listens. But I find a lot of this very autistic.

    I was in a relationship with a female very recently, she told me from the start she had BPD/EUPD, like a fool I thought I could save her. It was a rollercoaster, ups and down, there were times it was ‘normal’ but those times were short and always followed with a rapid decline. It would flip from I love you to I hate you, at first she told me she hated me right out the blue, she’d been out with friends rang drunk and told me she hated me. The next day she said sorry and that it was the alcohol, I forgave her and the next time she drank, the same words would come out, it got to a point where it was so frequent I became anxious when she would drink. Every time she would apologise the next day and say she ‘isn’t like that’ and blamed the alcohol. I began to realise that these flashes were who she is and the person I saw her as In the beginning, I had created in my mind. My boundaries would get further and further taken away because I was forgiving behaviour that was a red flag. After 6 months is he punched me in the face, drink again, like a fool I bought the apology in the hope that one day it would go to like it was for a very short period when we first met. David’s videos helped me realise what for some reason I could see, I was in an abusive relationship and I was trauma bonded. I accepted things I should never have accepted in the hope of a better tomorrow, every time I raised the subject of her treatment towards me all I would get back is ‘you made me’ or ‘let’s not talk about it, it’s in the past now’ or she would just flat out deny and blame shift. I truly hope anyone who is in a similar situation or is with a person with BPD finds it in themselves to walk away. It’s been hard since we broke up I miss the illusion of I’m honest and I create thoughts of her being different with someone else but when I feel like that I listen to David’s videos, some nights I play them lying in bed to retrain my brain and break the trauma bond. David if you ever see this comment, thank you. Thank you for sharing your experiences, your knowledge and for your guidance, I wish you and everyone else effected by this all the happiness in the world

    David I gotta ask, have you ever come across or heard of women with bpd that never cry? I dated one that never told me she has bpd but in the beginning told me she is broken and I need to run away and save myself. She has 100% of all bpd signs with a few overlaps of npd. Never once in 7 years that I was with her did she ever cry or come close to it. She says she can’t do it and even feels awkward sometimes if women at work crying in front of her. I always thought this was highly unusual/disturbing.
