anybody else feel like they are only really valid, have an identity if attention is focused on them sometimes? often i have felt like i don't exit if others are paid more attention than me or are seen as having more important needs than me. am i the only one or do other feel it too?

lolol, Flying~~ i do believe that is one of the "symptoms" of Borderline PD~! i know it's the one that makes it hard for the rest of us to get along with people who have it. you aren't likely to have friends like yourself, either, so there's not much chance you'll get to see it in action, unless you find a way to join a BPD support group. best wishes,, Gus

I feel it, bluebird.

You have validated one of my most predominant issues as a bpd.

I feel actually invisible when ppl are focused elsewhere, or if I am visible, I am just in the way.

ty for sharing.
