Fortunately, there isn't a large group of people who know I have BPD traits.... But, still, we all do things for which we feel embarrassment... and there are people who will try to use those things against you..... despite the fact that they know very well that they have their own issues.....

Don't let them fool you. Don't let them add to the embarrassment. They're not doing you any favors. They're trying to cover up their inadequacies by pointing our yours.

But, please do continue to work on your own issues, as well.
