Yes I consider myself quiet borderline.
I do not rage and everything is turned inward. Hence the bulimia issues. I stuff my face with emotions and then purge the out to release the pain. Also Quiet borderlines are considered high functioning therefore not getting help to much later in life so I feel. __________________ When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

I have a few Borderline traits but because I didn’t identify with some of the more outwardly symptoms I’ve never really thought about it that much. I do have a lot of internal rage that I’ve always found difficult to express because I’ve never been “allowed” to, if that makes sense? Parts of my upbringing were very restrictive so I had to quell my anger and feelings, which I think lead me to develop certain coping strategies. I sometimes have extremely strong feelings for people, both positive and negative, and that can change very quickly. I only recently found out that there was a quiet Borderline so a lot of those things make sense to me now. I tend to hide my feelings and silently stew until I make myself quite ill. That was more prevalent when I was in my teens and twenties.
I definitely think I’m more of an Avoidant because I identify with every one of those traits. |

I have quiet BPD, except with people I'm very close with. (My husband, my mother.)

Reading up on it, a lot does seem to apply to me (e.g. I have cut a lot of people out for minor reasons, I keep most people at arm’s length. People “liking” me tends to freak me out. I focus a lot more on crafts/shopping than other people). I’m mostly here trying to learn more about what’s going on with me. If I seek therapy I’m certainly going to bring it up for discussion.

Possibly. I don't split people black though so probably not. (unless they REALLY deserve it like a terrible ''professional'' irl
 ) I also read somewhere that people with BPD have a ''narcissistic core''... I'm pretty sure I do not Of course that could have been some of the misinformation out there. As for ''professionals'' irl - useless (funding issues part of the problem and their ''bad personalities'') (and a massive culture ''issue'' in this part of the forest, for all mental health issues  My upbringing was very restrictive, and abusive. I think I am more ''avoidant'' than BPD. hugs __________________

Grrrr. I do not feel so ''quiet'' when people say mean and triggering things, and have ZERO empathy. I seethe for hours. Yes, I am ''too sensitive''.... but I'd rather be sensitive than some insensitive moron who hurts people without giving a crap about it. GRRRRR. They are NOT ''superior'' and they do NOT know me. At all. Sorry about the rant
  And why is there STILL so much stigma. This ''dx'' is often ''co morbid'' with other dxs and ''many'' people have ''traits'' of it.(not about anyone on pc) __________________

Just learned of the 'quiet' bpd, and it fits me to a tee. Most of my issues tend to revolve around having very little sense of self, and some relationship issues, in that if people don't involve themselves in my life for an extended period of time (over a year or more), I don't see them as friends anymore. It doesn't feel like an overreaction, but other people seem not to have problems with it, so I guess maybe that's just me?? I wouldn't mind a little feedback on that, honestly.
