I know I can be manipulative, but I'm no worse than the average person. No one has ever CONSTANTLY accused me of it as much as one of my family members who I am close to. I feel like me laying everything out on the table & being 100% honest about myself & what I'm dealing with is mistaken for manipulation. I've heard a lot of people with bpd are VERY manipulative. Is it true in SOME cases? Is it just another misconception/stereotype? Do we manipulate people without realizing it? And if so, in what ways?
