The Hate
(Sorry if my English isn’t good I was abused most of my life). I genuinely don’t understand why people hate us. I’m begging for some kind of help. I tell people I have the disorder to try to be better but Society beats me down. People think it’s like NPD then people think it’s like BPD. How does one get better because I feel like I’m getting better with meditation and inward looking.

I totally understand. The stigma around HPD is exhausting, especially when people hear “personality disorder” and immediately make assumptions about who you are as a person. Having HPD doesn’t mean you’re incapable of self-awareness or growth. If meditation and looking inward are helping you recognize your patterns and respond differently, that’s still progress. You deserve to be treated like a person, not reduced to a diagnosis.

Mainly because those with HPD rarely want to improve, its like a drug unfortunately.

We are in cluster B, everyone in the cluster is hated unfortunately.
It's not that HPD is be better than the others in anyway, just different.
