True! I do this too. I think, we become consumed with our problems, and focus on those, that don't have the same problems, and we assume they have it together. Yet, they think the sameway about something else. Babycd's said best above

Whether it is something big (like the girl I tutor, her name is Cassie and she had severe autism) or something small (like the star quarterback at my school who is afraid of heights.) It is coming to the realization that everyone is thinking the same way as you and I, and THEY are the people who think that WE are normal.

I've been conditioned that way and have taken so much crap for things I was never responsible for....all sorts of things....and then would just have a major brainsnap about it! then suddenly thats just too much and is far worse than whatever was goin' on before.

I can relate to this as well. There was a thread started yesterday titled "Who ARE borderlines, really?" and I think this quote sums it up..

For me, it might be slightly different.... I've been through a lot of trauma in my childhood, and somewhere along the line I lost confidence in myself which, in part, prevents from being happy, and the faith that it can get better, the other part. This would be like which came first the chicken or the egg on the road to recovery. I think, you have to first find the glimmer of faith that things can get better, and with that re learn the confidence aspect.. I think faith is something you have to find, and confidence is something that you can learn. I think! It seems rational to me.
That was a lot of F**kin thinking. So ... I'm glad you like the thread title.. I've decided I'm just gonna start calling all my threads chapter (insert number), unless it's painfully obvious what the title should be. I just can't f**k around with it anymore. This brings me to noticing that my very first post was censored for language. I said some variation of the word f**K. I think what I would like is an icon attached to my screen name. Wherever I post this icon will appear right next to my s/n. The icon will stand for "strong f**kin language"... I want to be the only person on PC with this warning icon next to their name. That would make me so f**king happy if that happened, and I imagine I'd laugh some too...
Just curious DM, what do you think the chances are I could create a thread on the word f**k and make it relevent to bpd? If you think I could.. you'd be RIGHT!
