[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When interacting with people with BPD it is common to have strong feelings -- anger or rage, uncertainty and insecurity, etc...and not quite understand what's happening, especially if these feelings are out of the ordinary for us -- it can take time to figure it out because people with BPD can also be really charming and present quite well.

Basically, people with BPD often project their inner turbulence on US, then WE absorb it (and often feel like we're going crazy) while the person with BPD remains detached and completely unaware of their own turmoil and what they're projecting on us. It can be quite maddening, which is why even therapists steer clear sometimes.

Just to add, then we feel out of control and upset and the person with BPD won't able to perceive their role in the dynamic and will blame us for everything.[/quote]

[b]How do they do this?[/b][/quote]

With an amazing ability to turn things around in their minds.  Not really an ability.. they cannot comprehend that THEY are actually responsible.  Therefore, someone else must be.[/quote]
