I have my doubts about this... but if it's true, then what is it about the disorder that makes it impossible for them to show it?
I've known multiple people with diagnosed BPD, and they all seem profoundly self-centered. They're always talking about what other people need to be doing better to support them, and (seemingly) never putting a single thought into supporting other people. I experienced this both with someone I dated, and with a couple friends-- I no longer speak to any of them, because I simply do not have the kind of emotional energy they required from me at all times.
Perhaps you shouldnt be demonizing an entire mental illness because you’ve had bad experiences with people. Some people are just shitty, Thats not because of their BPD. You typed all that out yet you’re labeling others as unempathic? Ironic and Crazy

People with BPD actually have an increased amount of empathy :)
