What Is BPD?
9. Shifting Sense of Self
Having BPD means that your self-image typically changes frequently. This can include shifting values, opinions, and goals. You don’t have a clear sense of who you are, what you want, or where you are going in life. You may view yourself as hateful and evil, and then feel righteous and justified in whatever you do.
Because of this variability, your friends don’t last long, and neither do your jobs. You may frequently change religions or even sexual identity. Your unpredictable sense of self makes you feel totally lost and can even cause you to believe that you don’t exist at all.
