BPD is definitely ENTP: Fi blind spot is identity disturbance, Ne-Fe is seeking external validation all the time, inferior Si is falling into the same traps over and over, Ti is trying to rationalize your mood swings away

I feel like a part of my brain Is genuinely damaged or underdeveloped or under stimulated or overstimulated because of my BPD. I literally feel like I have both the brain of a 7 year old & a villainous monster full of hatred and fear just beneath the surface WAITING for that moment where I...

I’ve been thinking a lot about personality and issues identifying with any personality. Like I don’t quite fit in, in either direction. Throughout my life I’ve been typed as : INFP (mostly), INFJ, ENFP, ENTP, ISFJ, ISTJ, and ESFP once, A hallmark of borderline personality disorder is identity...

Is it possible to truly know your MBTI when everything is so unstable and uncertain? I have a BPD diagnosis (which involves "A markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of yourself") and it seems every time I'm like "yeah, I'm definitely this type!" something changes, usually a life...

Hi! I'm brand new to the forum but I've been lurking for awhile! :lovekitty: I'll preface this by letting you know that I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. One key feature of BPD is an having an 'unstable sense of self'. Which, in short, means that I have a difficult...

Hi everyone! I've been dying to get more perspective on this, so I created an account here to post this topic. I took the MBTI test several times in the past, and researched the cognitive functions. It was pretty clear that I was an INFJ. The I was usually around a 70% preference, N and F were...

the questionnaires tired me out but asking questions, giving me hypothetical situations to respond to, etc would be lovely!!!! :loveyou:) some notes to begin!: referring to me as minnie would be appreciated! i am considered a juvenile criminal charged with acts i would not like to disclose...

I want some help on this please, and I apologize if this has been brought up before, but I am new to this site and also very recently discovered that I am an INFP. I've done hours of researching on the INFP personality in the past few days, often many hours straight, and also before I have...

Hey all, so here's the story (There's a condensed summary at the end || read the bold as well): I'm an INFJ who's come to have a lot of emotional stress centered around my relationships, particularly friendships and romantic interests. I've had a lot of high points and low points related to...

Far too many people interview for jobs the way someone with Borderline Personality Disorder goes about selecting a romantic partner. A single Borderline is so desperate for a relationship that just about anyone will do, provided they are willing to give the Borderline attention. The Borderline...

Hey everybody, How do I reach through this monitor and hug this beautiful collective? I'm beaming and the distance is hilarious. Gratitude feels awesome, I need to do this more often. My whole life I've tried to Mr. Potatoehead my personality, and inevitably drop-kick the project in...

Are INFPs the type to be moody/sulky? It seems so. Both during childhood/adolescence and in adulthood. Like temperamental/easily affected, bottling feelings in, not being forthcoming, not wanting to discuss things/keeping things to themselves, having that dark cloud above them, feeling down...

BPD, Break up, and Moving On Hello folks, I'm a 20 year old woman diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). In May this year, my ex-girlfriend broke up with me after more than a year of being together and 2 years of knowing each other. We are now best friends but I am not entirely...

1) What aspect of your personality made you unsure of your type? Social anxiety and depression confuse me in deciding my type. It's hard to tell how I interact with people when I avoid social interaction altogether, and it's difficult to tell what my feelings/thoughts are when I try my hardest...

I have a question about a particular behavior in an INFP that I know. First, I know several INFPs and L-O-V-E them all. As well, I have a lot of ENFP friends. I click well with NFPs (and NTPs). Actually, I get along really well with almost all MBTI types. Anyway, I met an INFP a few weeks...

Just learned about enneagram recently. Took many tests and I think I'm type 4w5. Anyway, I have also recently diagnosed myself to have a borderline personality disorder. Now I'm just wondering if it's my bpd that contributed to the type 4w5 result? I have always had relationship problems with...

Does anyone else have BPD? The identity issues are the worst for me. It all makes sense now that I know I'm a 4. Any tips for figuring myself out?

I was supposed to bring a letter, I recently wrote to my ex to therapy, but I didn't save the bloody thing. However, I found a lot of drafts and old e-mails written to her, and I thought those might be even better, because they were written long before I sought therapy. Therefore, they were...

I'm just wondering if there are any other INFJ's suffering from any sort or multiple of the various mental illnesses out there? I'm INFJ 2w1. A little background information on myself... I started self harming at 13 and experienced textbooks symptoms of major depression up until about 15 years...

Personality Disorders and Cognitive Functioning I am conducting a project that involves collecting the personality types (16 type and cognitive functions tests) of my peers (all of which are science/math/tech enthusiasts) and analyzing the results. I am looking to see if the 'Rational NT=...
