People with BPD are sometimes called psychopaths but it couldn’t be more different. If a psychopath had lived my life so far they would be feeling absolutely fine with everything I’ve done because they lack empathy. Having BPD doesn’t rob you of empathy; it just holds it back from you when you need it the most and gives you it back once it’s too late. Mick is a psychopath, or would be if I let him.
