Does not compute. If anything, I feel for people too ****** much.
Unless it's referring to when people with BPD are in their rage zone; then, yeah, Mother Theresa's followers can rest easy: I am not giving them any kind of run for their money during those episodes.
But in my day-to-day life, as a HSP, lack of empathy is not a problem for me.
What about you guys? What's your thoughts on this [apparently] part of BPD?
It's one of the things that horrified me the most when I first started reading about BPD. It (for me) made us sound like monsters.  |
For me, I am that monster. I'm so tired of trying to fit in when I thought as a human being that there is no wrong in being who you are. But when you lack those skills that were suppose to be there for you as a child and now you don't know/feel what is right or wrong, society treats you like your an outcast. Honestly, I use to feel empathy but now I feel nothing towards people. You can only be hurt so many times in your life until you realize the truth.
