How do you manage to value love above your own ego? It seems incomprehensible to me
Giving a serious answer to this, I do a fair amount of research into mental health.
Usually BPD revolves around a fear of rejection. The person will pick up subtle cues of rejection from things they've already experienced, and they try to block it out or wall themselves off instantly. Turns out that the prognosis for BPD is actually not bad, and that about 2 years of having a trusting relationship with someone cures most of the symptoms.
I don't think BPD people value love above their ego, I think that they want love but protect their ego.
BPD or not humans are humans, and humans need an ego just to survive that's no wonder.
But you say that fear of rejection is what hurts them the most, but who likes being rejected or who likes getting cucked?
Does it matter if it is bpd/npd/aspd, because you may say whatever but I never met an aspd-npd who was fine with being rejected in any shape or form.And they do value love about their ego, deep inside all of them reek of "i just want to be loved" and everything else is just a shield to cover up that fragility.
The cucking fetish has its own rules and psychology.
Also I would think AsPD people would be alright with rejection, but it depends on the person, of course. It's easier to see why narcs might get upset.
I'd see them being more comfortable with rejecting than being rejected.
