If you find yourself an “unaware” Borderline, good luck. And hell, even one in therapy getting treatment can be a handful. Just because they are in treatment doesn’t mean they will benefit from it.

No, I mean that.

If you are half way sane, and not some abusive asshole who takes advantage of people, you won’t last long. Who you started dating, and who you end up dating will be two totally different people.

They become clingy, emotional deregulated and constantly battle an unstable self image. While you will want to have empathy for them, they will make it impossible for you to give.

If you are on the Narcissism spectrum you will enjoy your little diamond in the rough until it cuts you. Then you will be a crying little bitch portraying the victim like you always do.

The Borderline has a low threshold for bullshit and will quickly make the Narcissists aware of that as soon as all the lying, cheating and manipulation begins.

But if you find yourself an “aware” one, you will need a lot of patience, and when I say a lot, it means you…
