I've been told that my responding to literally what is said is not ideal. More specifically, I've been told that I need to respond to what emotions are behind what is being said. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If this makes sense, would you give me an example of what this means? Apparently, I'm bad at this and just don't get it.

You might want to post this also in the Borderline Personality Disorder forum.

im sorry i dont fully understand what you are asking....
apparently i have borderline personality disorder... but if you are saying... that when someone with borderline personality says something, and then you take it literally and respond to it as such... then maybe ... because people with borderline personality maybe will act out...or become agressive because of hurt... or many things... there is many things that is going on inside a borderline mind...

Have you an example of 'not getting it.'
Maybe simply researching bpd could help. There should be a page for it here somewhere under conditions. Also the forum for bpd or for carers, family and significant others I think has a sub forum.

Like any other mental health problem I don't believe any are the same. There is no right or wrong way to respond other than acceptance and forgiveness. This is very hard for the person on the other side or receiving end.

Support, empathy, truth.
I agree about checking into the forums for caregivers. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
