When I say I’m open-minded, I mean that if I don’t agree with something that you’re saying, I want you to explain what you see, and what you think, because I GENUINELY want to know why you think that way.
I want to understand.
When I say I’m open-minded, I mean that my opinion can change after hearing somebody else’s. If their opinion is backed by valid evidence, my opinion can sway, and it has before.
Being open-minded isn’t just listening to what other people have to say. It isn’t “sure I’ll hear your opinion, but I’m going to keep mine even after I hear yours”. It means that you’re open to the idea that your opinion could change. It means that you accept your opinion isn’t fact, and that it can be wrong, that it is only an opinion.
Your opinion isn’t tattooed on your skin if you’re open-minded.
Why do so many people insist that others should respect their opinions, yet cover their ears and shut their eyes when somebody else has something to say? Opinions are just that, opinions. Your opinion is not more valid than somebody else’s unless there is evidence supporting it. Keep that in mind.
Started my day out today by sleeping through my alarms, but I was on time to work and actually talked and joked around with my co-workers (I'm typically very reserved). Was very happy throughout my whole day, had some bumps here and there but didn't let them affect me. In the back of my head, I was hoping that someone would notice. Notice that I was in such a good mood and point it out. I asked my significant other if they noticed anything different about me and they said no, my hair just looked different. I told them "I thought I looked a little more glowy since I'm in a pretty good mood today", and they said "no, you look the same". It brought down the rest of my evening. I hate that little things that I know aren't meant to hurt me, hurt me so severely because I have these expectations of what I want people to say or think of me. Does that mean I hold expectations of myself too high? Others? Am I conceited? My mind is constantly up and down and my emotions along with it. "Head or heart", they're both a mess.
I drown the people I care about.
I over nurture them.
I over love them; over think them.
I push away or bring them closer.
I’m sorry. I love until it hurts.
I don’t know any other way.

This is the best way I've ever seen BPD described in simple terms.
