Lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement.Having Borderline feels like eternal Hell. Never knowing how they going to feel from one minute to the next. Hurting because they hurt those people who they love.It is hard to be accused of manipulation when really it's a scream for love Belive me its hard to be in love with a persson with BPD there are able to instantly drop all their feelings for somebody who meant the world to them moments before..belive me ..i can relate..i have been there . They crush your insides every time with cruel words and behavior .. but you know deep down they love you.. more than anyone elese have ever loved you ..… Expand
