People often ask why I don't have a job, so I'll lay it out on the table that I have BPD and don't have the mental stability to hold a job or do much of anything. They usually just respond "Oh okay" and change the subject, lol.
Is it something you throw out quickly, throw out at all?

Since being a bpd person is not my fault I am not ashamed of it. That said, I only tell it to those who can be affected by it. I certainly don't "throw it out quickly".
I have once met a woman who was somewhat quick to let everyone know that she had bpd and I felt very uneasy about it. It sounded like an excuse and simply not taking responsibility for her actions. I don't ever want to come across like she did.
