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]

[b]You also don't understand that their reality is different than yours.[/b]  They don't/can't see things the same way as someone without the disorder. Their brains don't work the same way.

I wonder if some are thinking they know people with borderline personality disorder when the actual problem is something else.  Bipolar, severe depression, sociopathy even.

Yes, in my case my reality is different -- because you don't have any idea from the outside what the dynamic was within my family. You would see the abuser as a great person and member of the community. You would not see the abuse. So you would think it odd that I cut off my family "for no reason." But you would be wrong....[/quote]
