Not so easy. I've been criticized for being "thin skinned" "over reactive" "too sensitive" by people who were supposed to love me (family and spiritual family). At this point in my life if people are saying things that I am "taking personally" then I probably shouldn't be around those people, know what I'm saying? Does that make sense?

Thank you for your answer. I do have professional help. I learned something interesting since I posted this, symptoms of high functioning autism and BPD are somewhat similiar. I have high functioning autism so I'm wondering if thats why I scored high on the BPD test. I've mostly dismissed the idea since I learned that.
