True.
I just guess we are all different, and sometimes, it's nice to be accepted as we are.
Recently, I heard that autistic people get along well with people with BPD and vice versa. I wonder if this is true @Blackcloud @8KZTL7 @MissGremlin @Former-Member

@tyme interesting, I didn’t know about that. But that’s good to know about if that really is the case! 🙂

@tyme could very well be true. From experiences here on the forums I've found that I get along with people that have a range of different diagnoses. I have BPD myself and undiagnosed autism. I think being neurodivergant we are very accepting of pretty much everyone.

@Blackcloud It seems I am always learning about communication and being social. I am prepared to adapt a lot, but recently learning to stand my ground and set boundaries and have fun. There is no one right way. That had me addled and confused. I found practising being social on Sane from 10 years ago has really helped me.
@8KZTL7 hey. Welcome
@MissGremlin @tyme @AuntGlow
@avant-garde maybe it had something to do with coming out of the blue…. And that you associate toys with pleasure…. And it blindsided you.. idk?

@tyme I found it easier when I realised we all worry about how we are coming across, and the other person is often just as nervous as I am, well that's what I tell myself anyway.

@tyme wow never knew that was the case.
I have been a firm believer though of those dealing with, diagnosed with normally understand each other very well and get along.
Hope all is well with you 🖤

It's certainly and interesting one @MissGremlin @Blackcloud . And I'd never heard it until someone mentioned it.
I guess it's like what I said in the past that people with BPD are often drawn to professions where they 'help' people... so many BPDers are drawn to people to are autistic too? IDK.
@avant-garde likes research. Maybe they will know 🙂
Hey @Appleblossom ! Howdy ho!

@tyme @MissGremlin BPD is borderline personality disorder right?
I don’t know much about the condition, but I’m always willing to learn about all sorts of conditions, even through a simple google search or a YouTube video 🙂 even if it involves just a simple and easy explanation for me to get a grasp of what it is 🙂
