    Most relationships are fantasy-based. People are interacting with the image of a person, rather than who they actually are. This is how they accept things that they don’t really like or approve of. Because the image they see is different to who the person actually is.

    Short Summary: Relationships are much better when you don’t let your “representative” lead. Be the natural quirky you. If that specific person doesn’t like it. Tough. The right person will find the authentic you beautiful and will love you till the end of the earth.

    Should've realized this early on but I was naive to think they were being real with me... if you come across hard times and they don't care to truly communicate, they push your boundaries while making you feel like you've done something wrong, and you gotta keep reminding them that your relationship isn't some romance anime where things are so smooth and carefree, just walk away. Save yourself any further heartache because trying to rationalize stuff will make it harder for you in the long run.

    This went 2 ways for me. I was diagnosed borderline later in life but earlier in life i attracted people who loved yhe idea of me because I was mirroring them unconsciously and disassociation during any upsets made me seem docile. I seemed perfect. Too good to be true. Because I was.And then they would only point out any little fault and my fear of abandonment would kick in. And then the rollercoaster would begin. 😢 I thought i was a narcissist for a while i thought i was a monster. But i wasnt doing any of the manipulating and i didnt hoover people or lie about how i would behave. I just had no healthy boundaries. I spent a long time single and in therapy. And i joined a recovery group to hear other struggles qnd i didnt feel so alone.

      I'm sorry to hear that. BPD is a very tough to live with. I encourage you to keep going at it in therapy, and hopefully one day you'll be able to feel close to others without completely losing yourself to them. BPD is the result of an adverse childhood experience, and so due to brain plasticity, you can overcome it and transform your brain overtime if you push 💪 it takes a long time, atleast 8 years. You can go into remission much sooner than that, which means your symptoms will be minimal enough to not constitute you for a diagnosis. However you'll still feel that empty suffering inside so this is a sign to continue therapy. ✨️

    This fantasy-like thinking whether it be you or your partner(s) in a relationship could seriously debilitate your life in the long-term due to the consequences. Don't get caught up in the trap of trying to please their wants and needs, otherwise it'll cost you more than your feelings and mental health. Your vibe attracts your tribe, don't try to force an idea on people!

    As a chubby autistic female goth in glasses with a geeky and artsy streak; dear god, did I ever need this video! I mean, there's just so much stereotypes out there based on my hobbies, music taste and appearance, man. People just somehow tend to automatically forget that I'm still human under it all, so it DEFINITELY wouldn't be out of the question in my case that someone might actually be into a version of me that doesn't even exist. Like, I always worry that whoever is ACTUALLY interested in me might actually be interested in a stereotypical version of me, not who I really am (not like I hide that at all, people often just tend to ignore my actual personality in favor of just putting me in a box and calling it a day). It's nice to know what red flags to look for that they're reducing me to a false idea of how the community around one of the facets of my personality must be, though (for example; not all gamers are hyper-violent ticking time bombs, not all anime fans are p*rverts because SFW anime actually exist, not all goths are k*nksters, not all fat women are desperate, not all autistic people are stupid, not all artists are secret p*rverts, etc).

    I was going though a transition period in my life and thought I was ready for a relationship... The girl I started going out with was great, but I found myself pining for her affection. Looking back at it, I was idealizing her and not getting to know her. She turned me down after a couple dates, which hurt. But it was probably better for her.

    Its totally valid to want a long lasting relationship,but the best part ab knowin someone Is takin time to discover quirks,good and bad💁🏻 with no rush
    In the second context, i used to like a guy for quite some time : i put him on a pedestal because i liked the idea of him behind the rose-tinted glasses:turns out he was a narcissist
    In short,take your time with somebody and dont idolize them, they are people just like u🙏🏻

    Often it's all too easy to put a crush up on a pedestal, but the person on that pedestal will never be the same as that person. The sad reality is that there are several different versions of each of us, and what you may be in love with is the version of this person you see. They are not always the person you see at work, or school, or the store, but they have a life beyond that. That is why it's important to vet the person in the early stages of a relationship, rather than assuming that your idea of them is just the way they are.

      It might just be a comfort thing. I used to get butterflies with people but then I realized it was with people I felt like I had to prove something to. With my current bf I don’t have butterflies but that’s because I just feel safe and comfortable with him. Being with him at the end of the day is like walking into a lavender field

    I once misunderstood friendship for love on accident but my friend forgave me. The one I ended up with a relationship with was my NSFW artist when we were just talking about things in general and eventually she felt conflicted that she can't be that for me and how I was the only bright light in her dark world and I accepted her feelings and she was so happy. We're doing great

    I had a girlfriend of 4 years. We trauma bonded and thought we were going to get married. We were definitely ignoring some red flags in the relationship and this is exactly what we said to each other and why why broke it off. We loved the idea of each other. The comfort, the safety, the memories. In reality we had very different values so it wouldn’t have worked out too well

I went to meetup groups and speed dating things in my town.

    As I watch this video I think of my friend who is now in a 3rd relationship back to back pretty much without any time to collect thoughts. 1st with a girl who has been really toxic to him, 2nd a girl with epilepsy problems (I advised him to talk about their needs and not just ghost one another and it led to a break up the same day), and now a 3rd girl that I would call mentally insane, from what I heard she just started a new school because of the graduation. She is pretty much on the edge of being kicked out because she photoshopped her teacher into doing some nasty things (I don't want to believe that it is true but she has some problems at home so it could be that). My friend also has his fair share of issues like an abusive alcoholic father, and a good grandma that he has to live with because of his father he actually is a she and has the mind of a he. I really don't want to be the bad guy by recommending a breakup and I feel like it is a never-ending cycle of finding someone as broken inside and just for the feel of love. It kind of makes me sad but in the end, I feel that it is a journey to find what you need in a romantic partner that's why I don't interrupt them for now...

    I think I realized I loved the idea of my last boyfriend because out of the blue, he started to quiz me about facts about himself. I couldn't answer some of them. I was rather confused and disturbed about it. His point was that I had him on a pedestal and didn't actually see him. I argued that I accepted him and all his flaws, that they didn't matter to me. I was confused on why he would reject someone that loved him as deeply as I did. All I wanted from him was to tell me that he wanted me to always be at his side and it never happened.
    The next one, obviously I serve some fantasy of his. I'm not as happy and time is just passing by.

But in reality, she’s everything I could want, besides not living super close. But that’s not a big issue. I truly love her, and she loves me. It’s so amazing when it’s true love!

    Before when my husband was my boyfriend, he was narcissistic, and after years of mental abuse, man made rules of religion and people pleasing I was a shell of my former self. I took a lot off of him. When I had my nervous breakdown and near suicide in late 2020, I had to ask God to show me who I was. I became the fiery woman I used to be. My now husband came back, and it took him a long time to get back in my graces. He had went to counseling and saw a lot of his errors. We're married now, and while we still have our days, we are working out fine so far.

Saying they didn't want to accidentally cheat. It's funny now but man it hurt at the time. One of my friends i couldn't hangout with because they didn't like her. Always talked bad about her wanting me to join them. When we broke up i went right back to my friend. I didn't realize it was a bad relationship till we broke up lol. All the sudden my mental state was so much better. I stopped hanging out with friends just in case i got a call from them it was so bad.

    I think my current bf is in love with the idea of me but not the real me...he keeps saying things like I am not the person I am when he first know me, and hate it when I have a temper. I've been tried to tell him that this is the real me, but he keeps telling me "If you really love me, you would never be so angry or impatient like that" and he also keep saying things like "I know there's girls who REALLY love their bf would never do that" He even tries to control my friends group, asking me to delete all my male friends and some female friends too just because they drink. He also always try to bring up the way I'm handling stuff, if it's not his way, then its abnormal way. He think that that's not how he would handle it so I'm not doing it incorrectly and he will keep saying it's my fault that we are in a fight because he just can't accept the way I'm handling stuff.
    Tbh this relationship is killing me. I know people are going to say just leave him! But everything just went too far to give it up now...I deleted my friends for him, cut ties and changed everything. He's all I have left...I'm in love with this guy because I am able to accept all the bads and good in him...but he couldn't.
    I hope someone can tell me how to move on from him cause honestly being with him rn is slowly killing myself...

      Listen to me. I will give you some instructions how you can safe your life now.
      If you live together and you left all the friends you have and you don’t have where to go and where to live, start collecting some money and don’t show him that you’re preparing for the escape. If you have some family members you can ask for their help to live in their home for some time. After all if you had some close friends you can text them and explain the situation why you stopped your friendship and that you need help. I hope that there will be at least someone to help you. In any case if this person is abusing you and it can be dangerous to tell him you want to break up then just leave him without telling about this, just vanish one day from his life.
      Then try to do some activities where you could find friends to spend time with so you will not feel super alone alter leaving him. New people will replace him in your life at some point.
      I know how difficult it is to decide this because I have been twice in such situations. I knew I felt bad and I would die mentally and emotionally with it but also I realised that I would stay alone on my own if I did it, because I also stopped being friends with everyone except my ex.. and now I’m in this situation, 1 month ago I broke up with him, I still feel something for him but he treated me so bad that I don’t regret leaving him even though it really hurts sometimes when I remember some good moments. I don’t have friends and for first weeks I felt so bad, so lonely and depressed and only now I become to feel a bit better. I try to spend time doing some hobbies which interact me from these thoughts (for me it’s crocheting 🧶)
      Write to me whenever you need!
      I know you have the strength to handle it!!!!❤❤❤
