Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right.

We're back and talking about borderline personality disorder.

And one kind of hallmark with someone with BPD is what's called like a favorite person disorder.

or just a person in their life that they have not necessarily even chosen, who they've hooked up with.

It could be a spouse, it could be a partner, it could be a friend, or a coworker, anyone that you really have latched onto as someone, maybe the only person that you really, really trust with yourself.

Yeah, that sort of self-fulfilling feedback loop.

Yeah, I mean, it's a big burden for an FP.

And if you are a spouse or partner of someone and you are the FP, like, that's a lot to manage.

And so a lot of empathy goes out to those people as well when you're altering your own behaviors.

Like, literally things like I saw people are like, you know, I had to –

I've had to step out of like really important meetings just to answer a text within 10 minutes because I knew that that would set them off.

And just little things like that can really add up to someone's burden.

Yeah, and if you're an FP, there's always the sort of sad and scary possibility that there could be a split incident that all of a sudden you go from being the FP to being the most despised person.

I would imagine that's something that probably comes over time and is not like a quick thing.

It can be.
