[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The essence of a  personality disorder is  that the patient doesn't believe there's anything wrong with him/her.

The part I don't understand is how do they think other people do it?  Do they really think they've been dealt a crap hand and everyone in their life is a horrible human out to get them?  Do they not realize that most people are not estranged from all their family members and long-time friends?

That's the deal with the borderline in my life and I just don't understand how she doesn't see that there's a problem.[/quote]

You could have been describing me a few years ago. I was raised by a BPD narcissist mother, so I was always drawn to equally unhealthy people for friendships and relationships. They seemed normal to me. When i became estranged from my family, it was the healthiest thing I could have done. I also started to see how unhealthy my long-term friendships had been and wasn't interested in accepting behavior in others that I used to think was normal. So even though what you describe could also describe me, I am a much healthier person now than I was before I broke those ties. The  upside is that I am also much happier, able to be myself and have healthy friendships.[/quote]
