Im very afraid of this post now
i kinda wanna know what it says but im very afraid because i take this manga very seriously ..... its like paneras box ┗( T﹏T )┛
Go back to tumblr, bitch.
You deserve nothing, but "annoying" button.
I love massive analyses of Saezuru, but I don't think you're right. He SAYS he's a masochist, he might be, but it's not to the extent that he thinks it is - he just wants to feel SOMETHING, and pain is easy to feel. Some of the things you've said that apply to BPD though don't apply to Yashiro. He is incredibly logical, not reckless at all. He doesn't become involved in relationships AT ALL, he uses sex as something that can make him feel something, but he actively distances himself from everyone. He doesn't act purely on his emotions, he thinks things through in a highly intelligent way. He wouldn't be so successful if he acted on impulse. He's emotionally damaged yes. Doesn't necessarily mean he has BPD.
No no no. I have a close relative with BPD who fits the diagnostic criteria to a T. Yashiro does not. Yes, he engages in self-destructive behaviors, but he has a clear handle on why. The person with BPD doesn't understand why they do the things they do. But more critically, they don't think that anything they are doing is wrong. In fact, they think they are the most amazing creatures ever spawned and that everyone around them is incredibly stupid and can be manipulated by them. They thrive on conflict and if it doesn't exist, they will create it. Their moods--their highs and lows--are intense beyond the range of bi-polar disorder. Yashiro KNOWS he is broken. If he had BPD, he would think he was perfect. And though it might seem odd to say so, Yashiro is a fairly well-functioning adult, given the circumstances he lives with. People with BPD bulldoze recklessly through life, have difficulty holding jobs and maintaining relationships and can frequently require hospitalization. Yashiro's tragedy is that he knows too well why he is the way he is.
wtf
its not because you have a close relative with bpd that you know what bpd is all about . the way you described it is just offensive and asa person dealing with bpd it makes me feel bad about myself . please do some research about it. This :''The person with BPD doesn't understand why they do the things they do. But more critically, they don't think that anything they are doing is wrong. In fact, they think they are the most amazing creatures ever spawned and that everyone around them is incredibly stupid and can be manipulated by them '' . First of all many of us do think that our actions might be wrong and hurtful and we do feel bad about them , constantly , before and after doing anything. We do not think we are the best ,in fact many of us struggle with lack of self confidence and have an inferiority complex.
Concerning Yashiro , I do think he migh be suffering with Bpd .
also my bad i clicked on annoying by accident when i wanted to click on relpy and idk how to take it off somebody help ._.
I don't think you know what bi-polar is, because what you seem to be considering bipolar is most likely psychopathy or histrionic behavior. I would recommend that you research before you make any assumptions. Just as augustrl says, you cannot judge how a person is really feeling with this illness just because you know a relative that apparently has it. I have never ever read anywhere in my entire research of bi-polar disorder (psych was my major in college) that bi-polar people don't care or know what they're doing or that they think they're so much better than everyone else they're and that they make trouble and just fuck up their lives as well as others because they're callous fucking beings. What you're saying is honestly rude to everyone struggling with bi-polar disorder and mental illness in general. Just because your aunt has bi-polar disorder does not mean that all her actions are because of her illness, maybe she personally acts this way but it's unfair to post that onto every bi-polar person and act like an expert.
I have to agree with LannaBan about whether Yashiro is bi-polar. The main point of bi-polar disorder is the emotional fluctuation between lows and highs. Yashiro does not exhibit any type of mania, whether it be the high mania or Bi Polar Disorder II's lower type, and he also doesn't seem to experience any highs. We honestly don't get a clear view on Yashiro's emotional state because the guy doesn't seem to feel much except sexual desire. And I'm not saying that Yashiro is some mindless sex beast, but he uses sex to feel something because he feels detached from the world. I feel like Yashiro's biggest issue is his detachment from the world and people. He doesn't want anything, he doesn't really care for anything. He kind of just cruises through life, uncaring about everything and everyone but I feel like this attitude comes from his trauma of being abused as a child. I don't think there's anything wrong with him, but he is extremely pessimistic of the world and people in general, so much so that he has absolutely no hope or expectations. That's why he is unbothered since he doesn't even care anymore. Sex to him is a release, something he can feel in his detachment. And it also probably is linked to his trauma over his rape.
hii ,the person was reffering to bpd as in borderline personality disorder not bipolar ,( I'm sorry if this was an unnecessary comment, like if u already knew, anyway @__@)
First things first, just because I am replying to this persons reply, does not mean you can heckle them, or otherwise bother them more, as such acts are not very pleasant.
While, yes, I do have a tumblr, and yes, I am of the female persuasion, no, I won't, because I don't often frequent the site, so there is not much to go back to. I simply enjoy psychology as it may be a feild I go into later in life. I have only one question to ask you, and that is why do you feel the need to post such a comment? You don't need to answer if you don't feel like it :)
Yeah, I also know how fucked up I am, and quite possibly the reason why (although my circumstances are much less extreme then ones I have given) but I do exhibit some of the traits that I have mentioned or seen above and I am perfectly aware of what I am doing. Quite often I am irritated at myself for acting a certain way, such as shouting at someone. Imagine doing stuff that you know is harmful to yourself and others, but you can't stop. It gets really frustrating at times.
Mostly thanks on your input on this, it's mostly just a thought I have had for a while. It was great to have someone who majored in psych respond to my post (I feel quite honoured (⌒▽⌒")), and I'd like to thank everyone else who commented as well, even those whose posts weren't quite as positive as I hoped.
Hahaha, yup, your right, I hope I was clear enough about what I was talking about. Also thank you for standing up for my post.
I loled though.
*please note that this post can spoil the manga*
There has been one thing that has been bothering me, and that's the fact Yashiro isn't really a masochist. Yes he says he is, but if you do a bit of research on mental health, you realize that Yashiro shows symptoms of several illnesses. At first I thought that it could possibly be depression, but then I did some research on BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). The symptoms include chaos in relationships, intense or uncontrollable emotional outbursts, unstable interpersonal relationships and self-esteem, concerns about abandonment, self-damaging behaviour and impulsivity. And it gets even better, especially when there's a strong correlation between child abuse and/or neglect like the loss of caregivers—or more specifically, sexual abuse. Moreover, Yashiros tendency to act unexpectedly and without consideration of the consequences, difficulty in maintaining any course of action that offers no immediate reward, unstable and capricious (impulsive, whimsical) mood, liability to become involved in intense and unstable relationships and chronic feelings of emptiness supports my theory further. His subtype would most likely be either Self-Destructive(depressive or masochistic features, inward-turning, intropunitively angry; conforming, deferential, and ingratiating behaviors have deteriorated; increasingly high-strung and moody; possible suicide) or Impulsive (capricious, superficial, flighty, distractible, frenetic, and seductive; fearing loss, becomes agitated, and gloomy and irritable; potentially suicidal). Another defining feature is both his inability to drive (driving recklessly, not caring for personal safety) and people with BDP are more likely to exhibit greater sexual preoccupation, have earlier sexual exposure, engage in casual sexual relationships, report a greater number of different sexual partners as well as promiscuity, and engage in homosexual experiences. In addition, patients with borderline personality disorder appear to be characterized by a greater number of high-risk sexual behaviors; a higher likelihood of having been coerced to have sex, experiencing date rape, or being raped by a stranger; and the contraction of more sexually transmitted diseases. If you do not believe me, before arguing back, please do some research on BPD and reread the manga. Criticisms welcomed!
