One thing I HATE hate hate about the treatment of mental disorders and personality disorders is how people with BPD are commonly treated with respect, kindness, empathy and care from both non-mentally ill people as well as mentally ill people and are generally extremely well recepted for being a cluster b personality disorder. While every single other personality disorder in cluster B (besides maybe histronic) is demonized, called sociopaths (even though only one OCCASSIONALLY fits the criteria for even being one.) psychopaths, abusers, narcs, manipulators and life ruiners whenever BPD entirely has the capatbility to be abusive and manipulative as much as any other personality disorder. the only difference people see is that people with BPD tend to have more empathy. Not only do people with BPD get romanticized to all hell (albeit in a bad way) with the whole yandere trope at least they're portrayed in a way that's still likeable and relatable half the time. I love not being able to even hint towards the fact I have NPD without being treated like some abusive shithole.
