Introduction
I was scrolling the dreges of reddit for content, as you do..
I like looking in the BPD subreddit, usually I can find some of the juiciest drama there
_____
Now as many of you know, most diagnosed BPD cases are found in women.
That means a lot of posts on /r/BPD deal with relationships, romance and raging hysteria.
Though, sometimes you get a rare gem. A BPD male, or in this case, a self diagnosed BPD male.

Meet /u/FrankBuns
A twenty something that managed to land one of the most controversial posts in /r/BPD this month.
Quite the accomplishment!
I'll go over some of that later, FrankBuns has been pretty open on reddit.
The Controversy
Now surprisingly, despite all the times I've seen otherwise, the denizens of /r/BPD did not pat FrankBuns on the back
Apparently, the communal braincell all redditors fight over was well and alive in this post's comments:
Why worry about the diagnosis. In my experience having a diagnosis doesn't do much for you aside from changing how doctors think about you. Worry about treating the symptoms you're experiencing and improving your quality of life. Diagnosis are just unnecessary labels that can come with stigma and lack of understanding.
FrankBuns: Because I want to get better, and idk, I feel like that would have to be the first step. I think there's a lot of reason in your comment, I'd like to think that even if I don't have BPD (which I still believe that I do) then learning the skills to handle it would be beneficial if not for dealing with my issues, then helping a loved one or friend in the future who might be going through the same stuff.
Then do DBT, anyone can do DBT.
Redditor Sneeding about "the system"
everything's a racket, it wouldn't exist in a capitalist society if it weren't.
dsm just allows clinicians to standardize care and makes billing easier, it's not any grand insight into human existence. look up some articles about dsm5 and professionals in the field who take exception with the changes from dsm4. It's just academics bickering, whose pet theories get to dominate.
Yes, I'm bitter. Grants Pass decision was a direct indictment of the failure of American care, we had 40 years of funding to provide treatment and people don't feel like we were effective now and now we aren't focusing on treatment anymore. This whole field dropped the ball and vulnerable people will suffer. Frick the dsm.
You'd be better off reading the bhagavad gita or dostoyevsky than the dsm if you're trying to heal.

Right about now, you may be asking:
"wait a sec, Lilmarsey, how do you know that this is actually a moid posting this and not an FtM?"
I'm so glad you asked, now you'll have to see it, too:
I will not be posting the other two pictures, you can go to
His whole butthole was out
It makes sense that he'd have some of these traits, given that this is a
✨ homosexual ✨
____
Hmm...funny you should say that.
_____
mental illness comes with friends
FrankBuns has also posted about shrooms and has expressed interest in DMT.
He was also a chronic masturbator.
https://old.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/10pvv17/oops/
FrankBuns also has a track record of being a bit of a hypochondriac.
Making posts like "what is this dark spot on my foot", and "why does my foot have orange spots"
https://i.imgur.com/gallery/r-askdocs-QPuy48p
He's also a very active furry, and stupid enough to facedoxx.
I'm sure you may also be wondering
"Wow! I wonder the relationship FrankBuns ominously mentioned went?"
I'm so glad you asked:
The "break"
As we all know, either party asking for a time out in a relationship usually bodes badly for relationship stability.
"Wow, that didn't last long, did it?"

TLDR: typical redditor that I spent way too much time writing about

Why the frick would anyone want a BPD diagnosis? A good chunk of mental health folks wont even treat BPDpocs because they're such a pain in the butt. People literally call it Bad Person Disorder.

Attention (the esteem of one's peers and placement in the social web) is a need for everyone.

No one online who claims to be doing this is doing it, they are all doing it in a sad bid for the esteem of their peers and placement in the social web

Most likely: Some homo he fricked saw him acting dramatic and said he's BPD in passing and then a month later he took a break from self loathing grindr sessions to self reflect
Then he ended up on some foid forum

A twink I used to be friends with once phoned me in an existential meltdown because his boyfriend was away for the day and he had sat down on a bench and started thinking about the meaning of life and it blew his mind. I think this was like the first time he had been alone with his thoughts or something.

I love my homo friends (I just can't frick them) but genuinely gays are some of the stupidest people I've ever met on average. There's smart strags but I'd say 90% of bottoming gays especially are stupid as heck

What about tops? How big is the behavioural difference?

Gigantic. Shockingly I'd say himbos are on average smarter than twinks. The former acts stupid but can be smart the latter exists to be a hole or a bussy wielding tradwife

This matches what I've seen as well. Gay men are my absolute favorite when they're self-aware humans but holy mother of god twinks are either great or need to be lined up next to a ditch, no middle ground. I feel like this says something deep about dealing with classical men, given the ABSOLUTE STATE of straight women, but I can't quite verbalize it.

This is reminding how absolutely fricking incredibly varied the human experience is, because I can't even imagine being that lil neighbor. Sonder or whatever, some of those big feels, as the frog lads say.

BPD is just female traits cranked up to 11
Autism is just male traits cranked to 11

To get certain treatments you need the right diagnosis. But I'd bet it's to fulfill a lack of identity

Bingo. They can be as shitty a person as they want to, so long as they "have" BPD, C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD, autism, etc.
In fact most of them are just lazy narcissists, with no intention to ever work on developing self control.

Curious how so many of these mental disorders that seem to have exploded in frequency can all be boiled down to "lazy immature butthole disorder"

If you have a bad diagnosis that makes it MORE important to figure out, right?

BPD people just want the opposite of whatever the person is saying . If the therapist agreed with the diagnosis we'd see a post about how much of a judgmental narcissist the therapist is.
