#destigmatize
The fact that users on r/bpdlovedones will constantly drone on about how “people with BPD should not go there!” when it’s full of evil sentiments about a sensitive and stigmatized group of people prone to making themselves feel worse… we do see it
I want to add in, for anyone with BPD who seeks out this subreddit and feels gross/bad about themselves because of it: Those people do not know you. They may make sweeping generalizations about a personality disorder that you have but the bottom line is: They aren’t allowed to comment on how you, a specific person with BPD, are because they do not understand or know you as a human being. You are more than a stereotype or stigma says you are
when you try to look for advice on the internet and all that pops up is tips for how to “deal” with people like you
