Do those with BPD crave more affection? I'm super affectionate, and consistently telling my bf how much I love him and how much he means to me. He's constantly holding me, telling me how much he loves me, how he needs me more than I need him... Resting his head on my shoulder. My bf, who has BP2, BPD and anxiety also told me I was very affectionate, and it's weird for him to have someone kiss him and hold him.

I find that I am the opposite.
I, so often, don't want to be touched, kissed, cooed at You are lucky. __________________ What's so funny about peace, love and understanding? Elvis Costello |

Sometimes all the kissing and affection can cause a sensory overload .. It happens to me at times ...

I definitely do not crave affection. I don't mind it sporadically, but it's not high on my list of wants unless it is non-physical affection, like a good honest talk, a term of endearment, or other related things. Those type of things I enjoy in moderation.

I need all the time tell my love how much I love him, to hug him and kiss him. I need to hear from him that he loves me too etc, I just cant live without it, I doubt his feelings if he doesnt say it very often.
