I am not sure if this is a part of bpd, as I have gone thru so much crap, I think I have evoled. I don't no if it is a 6th sense or what really to call it. I can read bad people easily. It seems like in my past I would get suckered by evey one. Know it seems I have big flashing neon signs go off in my brain. Saying run fool run ! L.O.L. Has anyone else devolped this kind of hightened sense? Let me know. I am curious. Thanks Greg

its weird cause i can tell the same thing.. some people i just get such bad feelings from, and the other thing though is i can tell other feeling too, like when people meet i can tell they are going to date or not, and i can sometimes feel what people are thinking about me. or alot of "coincidences" seem to happen around me, but the ultimate freaky thing i had was one time one of my friends got a new bf and i never met him, then i dreamt i saw a guy (not his face, but his clothes were clear) and he raped and killed my friend. (very scary dream), i told her and she said thet the clothes i told her (kakis, blue vest, red hat) was like all he ever wore, and she freaked and broke up with him, and i felt bad that she did that, until 2 weeks later we found out that guy went to jail for raping his new gf?!?!?! we were so freaked about that.

[Greg77733]

Yeh that is how I am. I bet you freaked whenyou found out he was a rappist. That is like one time, see I am a fisherman, and I was first mate so Capt. Paul hired this new guy and I got a real cold feeling, I told Paul and he said that was stupid go back to work. I quit. Paul went fishing with him and when they got back to the dock the police were waiting for him. The arressted him for murder. Capt. Paul called and told me and hired me back. I have had several other weird things like that. I don't know what it is but I do like it. Take care, Greg

[lifeblows]

Yeah, I've had a bunch of weird things like that and it happens too often to be a coincidence. But of course if I were to tell or share it with anyone, they'd tell me I'm nuts and I'd probably get some extra diagnoses and put on killer meds & locked up. Mine doesn't happen with people so much, but with other things happening. Although I have noticed I notice things in people that others don't, I can read certain things about them, and they always turn out to be right. Even if no one else saw it to begin with. Your stories are scary though!

[Greg77733]

My old therapist said, people who are bpd are very empthic (notspelled wright) people. I starting to think that we get this gift too.

My husband says I am really good at reading people. I usually know what the relationship between two people is and their history before anyone tells me. I can tell if people are liars or show-offs or users with a lot of accuracy.

Unfortunately, when it comes to people who are dealing with me I tend to only read the negative signs. Then my black or white thinking kicks in and I think they hate me, everyone hates me, the whole world has always hated me... It's a pattern I am finally recognizing and trying to kick.

It is nice to bring up the positive side, though. I will try to keep that in mind. Thanks for bringing it up.

Yea, I read somewhere that people with BPD are really sensitive and almost have a 6th sense to others. That we react to what others may not be expressing, but how they feel anyway.

I still believe that quite a few of the fights I cause are because I know what the other person is feeling, and they won't admit to it until I fight it out of them. That's so aggrevating. I've always been able to tell what was about to happen. I can tell my best friend what would happen if she chose this or that. What really sucks is when you warn someone of something bad that will happen if they do something, and then they do it anyway. It's like...you really could've prevented that if only people listened. I know. I don't know how I know, but I'm pretty good at knowing when something's going to happen.

I've never been blind-sighted by a family member getting diagnosed with cancer. Or when my brother's sons were born premature and both died months from each other. I knew exactly who was calling me without looking at the id and I knew they were going to tell me that I needed to get to the hospital quick. I knew exactly where my friend was calling from when she said hello on the phone, and I knew exactly what she did to get there.

Idk, if that's part of the BPD, then I'm not sad I have it. But if it came to a choice of giving that up to get better, I'd give it up in a heartbeat.

I have often had premonitions of bad stuff even as a child and I do get physical symptoms now when I meet certain people - goose bumps, hair standing up, nausea. Sometimes these are very strong. Maybe thats why I was diagnosed schizoeffective as well as bpd! I have to be careful I don't confuse it with paranoia. I try to give everyone a chance even if I get strong signals. Hyper-vigilance maybe? Most times I am right and have learn't to trust it. I'm still here even after all the dangerous situations I've put myself in. What do you reckon?

its a strange thing. i personally am like this i think. i am not BPD and even if i was i wouldnt wait around long enough for a psych to DX me with it.
some have said im good with people. i think i am good at understanding, but it depends on the person. although the people i cant read are the types that not many people can read.
i hav had the tendancy to be extra wary of people though. i immediately jump to negative conclusions if i get the tiniest bit of evidence. its a safety mechanism, but i think its been taught by others rather than one ive developed through my own experiences. recently, when i learned that beaver might be kicked out of 6th form, tom and pippa want to leave, and tom decided he couldt cope with me anymore (lol :P), i immediately felt like everyone was abandoning me again. and i was going to be alone again. this has happened to me, yes. so i am going by experience here. but i know in reality the peeps im friend with who are leaving are leaving because they dislike the school, not me. but at the same time, i still believe theyve suddenly gone off me and hate me ( tom didnt really help that) but yeah. i just think i know what you mean there.

[Greg77733]

DearKryso, That is exactly what I was saying. You don't know how you know you just do. Thanks for saying it better!!

[Greg77733]
