My one main question out of all of this is does anyone with BPD ever find that they compulsively feel the need to tell people they love/care deeply about their imperfections, or other things that would push them away from you?

YUP! I did. Still do. It's like I have to warn them about what they are about to experience. But do they ever listen? NO!!

While I have learned to be a little more discreet overall, my actions generally give me away in time.

For instance, after a certain period of time, I have found that my b/f (all of them, not just a particular one) no longer appear to be as attracted to me as when we first met (which is normal; I do the same). However, I still have this need to be "desired" and I begin to flirt.

My flirting is NOT a desire to provoke jealousy (I HATE jealousy). It is just an obsessive desire I have to be noticed.

Hope this helps!
