Am I really a prick?

Does the way I write make me seem cold/distant/uncaring/insensitive/cruel/sadistic?

Do my attempts to not my own awareness of the above issue make me seem self-centered/narcissistic?

I do not believe that the way you come across is any of the above, BUT - I will say, that I think you are instigating more from D1430, and I think that you should possibly consider posting about BPD-related issues, and not conducting polls that are going to create more locked threads.

I respect your opinions, and am not triggered by you at all, but I thought maybe I would offer some food for thought... because I rather think that these topics aren't really therapeutic for you, or for others.

My best to you though...

Thank you for your advice. I sometimes get carried away.

When I feel bad about myself, I obsessively seek disconfirmation of those emotions, which inevitably draws everyone in to unnecessary drama.

I'd have thought you learned your lesson last time you created this type of thread.....and it was locked. I agree with Miss Ali, you need to consider posting threads directly about bpd and giving and receiving support for bpd related issues. These threads are becoming very self indulgant......and annoying.

when I see threads asking questions like this I immediately want to reply "Yes!"

Well I prefer to let Miss Ali, and my Sexy Lover above to do all the work for me with their opinions.
So whatever they, "You can take to the bank!"

LOL, thanks, box! Where you been, brother man?

Hope you had a nice holiday yesterday!

I personally do not know you on the forum, mjpam, but I just wanted to say that the way you present yourself in real life and the way you present yourself over an online forum are most likely very different. It's hard to gauge whether or not you are a prick, because in reality, you may or may not act much differently than you do on here.

Having said that, your post is somewhat narcissistic because you're so concerned about how you're presenting yourself.

And one of the issues with BPD, or so I thought, was misreading social interaction and devaluaing either oneself r the other person as a result. I totally understand how dredging up drama on the forum is self-indulgent and definitely annoying, but I definitely have trouble with needing things NOW!!!! rather than considering how my actions might affect others. I am a bit conflicted about what happened, because I felt terrible in the moment and I wanted an immediate opinion, but I also see that I could've and probably should've simmered down before a posted.

That said, I specifically requested the other thread be locked, because it was only spreading discord, and now since this one seems to doing the same, I think it's time that it was locked as well.

I was concerned that my self presentation was not in accordance with my self-perception.

Obviously, there are ways that I could have that didn't shine such a light on me and my problems with other poster. Of the ways, I could have asked my question the way that I did is certainly one of the most narcissistic.
