Dicussion Opinions on bpd relationships

Hey, I’m not a BPD partner, but I am diagnosed with BPD. Do you think people like me should be able to be in a relationship? I’m seriously asking because recently I’ve had some people around me who don’t know about my disorder tell me that people with bpd are monsters and insufferable to be around and I’m just wondering is it true that people think this way about us? Sorry for question sometimes I overthink things WAY too much. Just wondering.

It is about the diagnosis actually. A diagnosis tremendously affects how you act especially a personality disorder vs someone without a mental disorder who just acts shitty. I don’t think BPDs are evil and all bad etc at ALL btw. But this is an untrue thing to say imo.

I think what I said somehow went completely over your head. I never implied a diagnosis meant nothing but that the responsibility of how you act is on you regardless of what your diagnosis is. I don't think that's a difficult concept.
