I'm OK with noise. It's the content of the conversations that make me sick. I cannot be around family members for any length of time. I've eliminated contact with most of my friends and family due to conversations triggering me. It's the BPD inside of me but it's also the content of the discussions. They always seem to be very tragic and depressing and a lot of times I can "hear" the subtext which is : Why aren't you doing more for me you selfish bit&H?"

I hear it loud and clear and it makes me angry and violent. I could act-out and scream but Im the "quiet" type of BPD, so instead I rage inside until I almost self-implode. For now, I keep my distance from the others.

If an environment isn't a calm and supportive one, then it's not good for me.
