I've been learning a lot about black and white thinking, since I took a borderline personality test, and scored relatively high, and I can't quite wrap my head around it..
Honestly, I'm not so sure I'm borderline. But I digress.
My problem, for years now, and building even more so now, is that I can't form an opinion on hardly anything..
There are some disagreements I have with people that makes me think in black an white. I have an opinion on them, and if it's negative, it may stay there, but it always eventually goes back into the gray about how I feel about them. I suppose out of empathy, no matter how horrible they may seem to me, I can rationalize they aren't completely bad.
But when it comes to having a personality, I don't have one. I don't have:
a political position
a stance on political issues
a stance on mainstream news coverages
a definitive religious affiliation
a stance on religion
The list goes on and on and on. I am actually feeling a lot of distress now because I can't form opinions. There is to me always gray area.
And for a long time, this has been ok, because I think it has kept me very open minded.
But now I feel like I have no identity..
