I’ll never understand why people can’t be original. Not only word for word exactly what I posted, but also the picture is the exact same just a different creator. I’m all for spreading awareness for BPD - I truly think it is so needed but I am getting sick of all the stolen regurgitated content. From my perspective it makes me feel as if people are posting it for monetization and clout rather than for the right reasons.
EDIT: The amount of people dismissing the fact that someone took my face, recreated it through AI, and reposted my exact words as their own is honestly concerning. What’s even more concerning is how quickly people jumped to “this is your BPD talking” or “typical person with BPD.”
This is exactly why stigma around BPD is so harmful. People with BPD are still human beings with valid emotions, boundaries, and reactions. If anyone else had their face and content copied, they’d probably be upset too. But the moment someone with BPD expresses hurt or frustration, suddenly their feelings get reduced to “just a symptom” instead of being treated like a real concern.
A huge part of my advocacy has always been speaking about this exact issue, how often people with BPD are gaslit into questioning their own reality anytime they express discomfort, hurt, or boundaries. Having BPD does not automatically make every emotion irrational, dramatic, or invalid. Sometimes people are genuinely hurt by something, and this is one of those situations.
