People with BPD are all nice, sometimes we do things that are viewed by others as manipulative or attention seeking because we don't know how else to be, but we all just desperately feel unworthy of love yet that's the one thing we crave.

I heard a quote by Martha (I don't know her surname but she developed DBT)

She said something like 'if a victim of burn was taken off morph one they would exhibit 'attention seeking,' behaviours in order to have their pain taken away.'
