Borderline Personality Disorder ‘Mirroring’ Means I Don’t Know Who I Really Am
In a new setting, I tend to introduce myself as a quiet introvert, which is a fact that has confused many down the road of our first meeting. They question how such a person blends into crowds so easily when I clearly stated in the beginning that I stray from the social side of life. It brings about a question of my authenticity and has led to the loss of many friends and even more acquaintances. People can be hard to please but when you build up a character they were not introduced to, they shy away from furthering the relationship. It is just one of the many realities I must face with borderline personality disorder (BPD), harsh as it may be.
