To me, the interesting question here is whether symptoms of BPD (or mental illness more generally) might confer an advantage when it comes to building a following on social media. For example, catastrophizing seems to be a staple on the many popular social media accounts.
- Daishiman 5y agoHaving dated people with BPD, it certainly created an emotional roller coaster that makes the highs really high; normal relations can even seem boringly stable after that.
- paulpauper 5y agoNo it does not. The most successful people on social media, i have found to be pretty cool and collected. The mental illness symptoms i think are more likely to come from having no following and feeling ignored. That will drive some ppl mad.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI don’t think BPD would be an advantage due to instability. There is nothing quite like a neurotypical person being dramatic. They can keep it up and keep going. It’s a stable “crazy” that doesn’t have other problems getting in the way of being dramatic.
