New Poll: This REALLY is just for FUN!

This occurred to me last night, and thought I would create it. Just thought people would get a kick out of it. I need to laugh, too, I guess.

So here is my new poll. It really is for fun! I hope I don't make anyone feel as if I am putting them down. Not the intention. Laughter is.

Well, as I thought I said, I do not mean to offend anyone at all. I feel bad when I upset others.

So I will just say here that to whomever I have offended: I am sorry I have offended you.

I have BPD, too. It hurts. It's hard. It's scary. It's troubling. There are days where you feel you can't go on.

BUT, along with the hard feelings, I feel the need to laugh. Since part of BPD is characterized by constant contradictions, there are days where I feel the need to make fun of MYSELF. Not that I am trying to make fun of others. But can't we all use a laugh now and again?

I don't want to let BPD totally control me. I want to be able to express my quirky sense of humor. To let it out. To laugh at "it" sometimes - to stay sane, I guess.

So, perhaps, if no one wants to vote, maybe people can give me feedback.

Is it too hard for "you" and I mean anyone out there to laugh at yourself?
Do "you" feel attacked when someone tries to just laugh at the whole thing?
Does anyone out there see that sometimes splitting IS funny? It's hard and awful, yes, but sometimes, at least to me, it is funny. I am/I'm not. I will/I won't. I can/I can't. Does anyone else see the humor in this?
Do "you" again, anyone, feel like I am picking?

I assure I am not "picking." Truly, I am relating. That's why I'm trying to lighten things up once in a while. If we don't do that, where are we? Just left in utter despair 24/7?

Does anyone else feel like at times they just must LAUGH at their own bizarre behavior?

Again - I mean no harm. I mean to accept that BPD is at once wonderful and awful! There are good parts and bad parts. I think we need to pay attention to them. Many of us here are so good with words and SO GOOD at expressing ourselves, being very supportive and making others laugh. I am just trying to help others by helping them laugh.

If this isn't a good enough apology or explanation, I guess I don't know what will be.
