Im having some relationship issues that purely lead to me being paranoid and I need help identifying the differences between BPD and healthy relationship.
The issues is that after being with this girl for 1 year and 2 months I started to catch feelings for her in a way being more attached and it fucking scares. I feel like I have abandonment issues. Now I feel like this is 100% completely my issue and i recently started really looking deeply into things, overthinking and analyzing to come to a conclusion. I have doubts about the relationship because of how my LTR acted in the past and i cannot tell if she has BPD/cluster b disorder and will sabotage it or if im just paranoid because of past experiences and all this red pill knowledge.
We have been together for over 1 year now and everything is going perfect. We have a genuine connection and we are very intimate. If we have any issue, we are able to resolve them and talk about them and work on things and move on. Overall we have a good time. However, this girl has had a terrible past. She often used males for validation because she had low self esteem, used to self harm because she felt guilty and she often felt like she couldnt say "no" to sex with her first boyfriend .
Now, this girl used to go to a therapist and psychiatrist and had tests done for BPD, narcissisms etc and was NOT diagnosed with it. She was however, diagnosed with "potentially likely to have OCD, and very likely to have anxiety".
This thinking about how bpd women behave led me into a spiral of constant overthinking and that she will discard me, that she constantly love bombs me etc and i started to analyze the situation making myself look for answers. What the fuck is going on? For over a year I had no issue with her until recently where i started overthinking things.
She doesnt have any male friends, she is always submissive, we are able to talk like adults and have intimate conversations, she never gets angry or yells, she never showed any signs of being hot or cold switching or splitting i think its called, she often pays for things and is always wanting to see me. Now she does have some bdp tendencies because of her past and I cannot tell the difference between healthy vs bpd relationships.

This post is proof that the Red Pill is not for everyone.

She clearly has red flags from her past and you probably shouldn't have LTRed her in the first, place. However if your life is drama free and she is submissive and cool, then what is the problem? Love bombing is something that happens EARLY in the relationship and the woman can often be very hot and very cold, it sounds different here. It sounds like you've been together for a while and you've been lovey dovey for a while.
Here's your problem:
a) it sounds like this is your typical bluepill relationship, did you spin plates before meeting her? did you vet her for at least 6 months to one year before upgrading her to LTR? I suspect not but please confirm so we all understand.
b) You lack inner game, you need a strong frame and foundation for a healthy LTR or you will wreck it and your girl will become as insufferable as you let her get away with. It doesn't sound like you're at that point yet but all relationships get there when you haven't fully internalized RP principles. Please read up on stoicism and practice daily because you will need it in life.
c) A good LTR is ultimately created, you need to reward her for good behaviour with praise and attention, and punish for bad behaviour by withdrawing attention and being aloof and "busy" when she does the wrong thing. Read this guide for an in-depth explanation: https://www.trp.red/p/humansockpuppet/754
As a rule of thumb, relationships with bpd girls are full of drama created by her moods, these women are good at manipulating and can be intoxicating to be with, the sex is also amazing but they will literally wreck your life. If you are wondering if you are in a relationship with one of these women, then you are not. You will know it when you see it because it's a CRAZY fucking ride.

A) yes, I've been seeing her for 7 months before making her my LTR. Even though she has red flags she crossed a lot of green flags too eg. Good family and relationship with father.
B) sometimes I do lack frame
C) I have been doing that. I give her attention and often sex when things go well and she's submissive or does stuff for me and she very rarely misbehaves.
I have not noticed any drama that was created by her moods.

Good, you're managing better than most people here posting about LTRs.
Keep doing what you're doing, but put more energy into the following things:
a) Self improvement: lifting, career, hobbies, social circle, etc
b) Inner game: stoicism, meditation, frame, IDGAF attitude, outcome independence
If she starts misbehaving you need to introduce a third element, dread. Look up the 12 stages of dread, part of that is already covered by points a) and b) however if that's not enough then you need to do more.
Looks like you're doing well though so congrats on keeping it together, and once you improve your frame you will be in a good place

I think a lot of it is down to self esteem. As I said, we had no previous issue and we do not have any right now it's mostly all in my head. I have no idea where it came from but it just left me in a bad place with all this overthinking and depression.

Yes, I can. She has both . I don't understand your ideology here
Axlerod9999 4y ago
No you can't. Can't make up your own rules or go back to being blue pilled. No need for any advice

Yes but what does that have to do with my situation? You're saying I should leave because I'm having doubts and anxiety about the future when everything has been fine for the time of our relationship

I think this is a bit extreme. Red flags are indication that there is danger but doesn't necessarily mean she will follow through . They are simply just there to warn you. With me this girl hasn't showed any whilst we were together and if I start to see them , then i should consider leaving. But just because someone has red flags doesn't mean we should date them. Nearly all women have red flags as well as guys

I don't agree with you because then no one would be dating anybody. EVERYONE has red flags some are smaller than others but we all have them and not dating a girl because she is depressed for example is rather retarded and comes from scarcity mindset. Looking for someone with no red flags is like looking for a unicorn that doesn't exist

Yeah you're overthinking things. Yeah she has a few red flags in her past. Men go through changes in relationships. First, there is a fundamental change in brain chemistry based on oxytocin and vasopressin. This will trigger as a result of mating. It manifests as jealousy, mate-guarding, territorialism, and parental investment.
When there is birth control your instinct will tell you she's barren and you'll start to find reasons to get rid of her and find a new woman. I kind of overcome this by having my wife get her tubes tied and trying harder and harder to get her pregnant. I'm to the point where I cum directly into her uterus every time. I do the same thing with prostitutes and ONS to keep the instinct in check.

What do you mean by your comment? I'm not really understanding.
Indeed she is on birth control

barren=unable to have kids.

Okay well I don't feel like that at all
mattyanon Admin 4y ago
fairly normal
gah, that sucks
This is 99% bullshit, you know that right? It's very easy to lie about motive, and girls do, always, about past sexual behaviour.
Right
Nothing you've said so far seems like BPD.
YOUR fear of being discarded is more like BPD behaviour than hers.
You need to get over this. You need to realise there will be other women, you need to not be as attached, you need to be less scared.
all good
like what? you've named none of them
you're too attached, it's fucking YOUR head up, not hers. You caught feelings, now you're worrying about HER mental state instead of your own.
again,, this is on you not her.
Only danger sign is her past: girls who have been fucked up in the past will be fucked up in the future. Not sure you can handle that. And no, the blame cannot be placed on "men" or "society" or "family"........ 99% of the time "fucked up past" is caused by HER, not by the situation.
"I've had a rough past" is almost always beta bait for "please be my beta". Be aware of it.
I don't think you can handle this relationship, but most of this is coming from you.

I agree with you, I think I might be the one with bdp lmao.
Honestly I feel like im sabotaging a potentially great relationship because of insecurities
mattyanon Admin 4y ago
You need to take this (and all) relationships less seriously. Letting the rl matter to you THIS MUCH is part of the problem.

All girls have BPD for the right guy, and all girls are respectful and submissive for the right guy.
Girls will develop BPD when they feel rudderless and have no boundaries. They will lash out a push the envelope like a toddler until something breaks.
But if the same girl is with a guy they find strong and reliable, boundary enforcing, devastatingly attractive, and physically intimidating, they will mew like a kitten on command and almost never show disrespect.

BPD manifests with girls in relationships when they aren't given any boundaries. It is not some mystical mental illness caused by childhood trauma. If you don't believe me, go ahead and try it.
You can do the same thing to any toddler. If you give a toddler zero boundaries they will turn into fucking monster trying to find them.
No alpha guy will ever get ripped apart by a girl with BPD, because alpha guys have boundaries, and the second a girl starts testing unacceptable behaviors, they check that shit or walk.
