Started BC I looked up some articles to remember the word "idealization"

read a big piece about #BPD #FavoritePeople mostly geared toward non-BPD peeps.

A lot of advice was solid! Boundaries! Communication! Don't be the only 1!

But I didn't feel like the article stressed enough: we aren't inherently manipulative monsters just BC we have BPD.

The whole article is tainted by #BPDStigma, BC most clinical words for our situation are tainted by pathologizing us.

Can't unravel.

Sometimes I think defining #BPD highs and lows with #FavoritePeople as "idealization" and "devaluation"

misrepresents the nuance of intensity, situation, and our feels/responses.

This might be a little jumbled, I'm parsing these thoughts for the first time.

As BPD people aren't a monolith and there are a few "subtypes" of presentation,

there's an inherent explosiveness assumed by most people & docs W/O BPD

and if you have #QuietBPD like me, you may lack.
