Yep, definitely have intense eye contact here. Almost to the point it makes people uncomfortable. In fact I stare so hard I don't realize I'm doing it till all of a sudden they are staring back the same way and it's, " Oops, sorry bout' that...I'll just look over here for a while". Then with eyes averted, I do it to someone else. Don't know if it's bpd, might just be a quirk.

I didn't always make eye contact in the past if I felt shy, but now I'm aware of making eye contact and I'm aware that it affects people so I do it on purpose now when the moment calls for it.

sometimes I'm scared my eyes are flirting with the wrong person hehe.
but I've seen people have trouble looking me in the eyes when I'm giving them an angry "emotionless" stare (kind of like my avatar

)
Now that I think of it I'm always uncomftorable looking new people in the eye, sometimes im not sure if my eyes are being intimidating or not o.o
I suppose any of my theories cannot be counted as creditable however. I am a 17 year old, a senior in highschool. BUT Psychology is my passion! So I am looking for the general opinion and professional advice to aid it, and I hope for comments to disregard my age and creditably.

Decades ago I got the impression that people got freaked out when I looked at them. So I stopped. I haven't been able to look people in the eye without effort for years. So now I feel like I'm viewed as untrustworthy or submissive. Hmmmmm.....
People tend to assume I'm a doormat (which is bad given the inevitable explosion). Maybe that's why?

Every "borderline" I've met has a flirtatious, longing look in her eyes. A sort of desire and vulnerability that makes me want to take her. This is just my small, biased, personal sample, but others have told me they see the same with the people they know. I think it's real.
I'm not crazy. My reality is just different from yours.

Also, I think I read that they have larger than average penises and are better lovers, arm wrestlers and tree climbers.

Damn right I've noticed that!
I don't know about the pretty bit because I'm a guy.
I do know that I could probly get by without a body and just survive with EYEBALLS alone. There is so much goin' on inside em. I've seen it in others also and been told myself.
VERY intense penetrating 'lookers'.
I don't know about others but I can feel the stare goin both ways back into my own skull and out the other side...starin' at everything in between.
Thats why I reckon like Ive said before that even younger people with BPD just seem like they've been around for a long time.
It's in the eyes...how they completely dominate the face and the person. They understand things, lots of things.
Sometimes when I look into my own eyes I just know I am not kiddin around!
They can also be really friendly to.
awesome!
