BPD is like everything is on 10, but you don’t know that it’s on 10. It feels right to you. Imagine a stereo that someone glued the volume all the way up, and that loud is all you know. Meanwhile everyone else has a dial they adjust for volume.

In my life there’s a real vibe of: It’s not that **I** am mad that someone just called a person a slur in public, it’s that **EVERYONE ELSE** isn’t mad like they should be.

There’s a real feeling of, “why am I the only one who cares?”, regardless of if I am, indeed, the only one who cares.
