This is not bpd tho that's not how it works. Ml might be just scared of relationships due to past trauma and doesn't understand that he likes mc too (?) still bro is douchebag and mc is pathetic ☠
Have you read the recent panels? Or are you just taking my word for it? /gen Things seem pretty dark, especially seeing small inconveniences incite such big emotions one after another almost like a chain reaction , and all the intense flashbacks and just the sense of panic portrayed through them. I probably meant to say cptsd instead of bpd, but the symptoms definitely overlap a lot. I myself got misdiagnosed with bpd before getting my cptsd and autism diagnosis. I think I said bpd because I sensed that ml had a fear of being abandoned by the mc. (Him freaking out when mc ditches him to hang out privately with the married coach ). Though as I am not a licensed mental health clinician, your point still stands, maybe that’s indeed not how it works. My personal analysis on a fictional character psyche surely does not have substantial impact on how the DSM 5 TR classifies mental disorder symptoms as a whole.
And by “freaking out” I mean having a full meltdown.
I'm med student not a mental health professional either but as much as I read in my textbooks it's not bpd cause yeah I understand why u said cuz of the immense fear of getting abandoned but bpd also includes being reckless, self harm, low self esteem. I've seen bpd patients as well. Ml doesn't hv bpd but it's right he does hv attachment issues might be some ptsd but can't confirm bout that since I'm not a professional but I can confirm it's not bpd
Have you read the recent chapters yet?
No I read halfway through novel TwT
Maybe you should try reading the raws to see where I’m coming from? Perhaps they dramatized and overstated some things in the manhwa. Before 2013 non suicidal self injury was only linked to BPD in the DSM which was HIGHLY problematic and caused a lot of misunderstandings and controversy about the whole diagnostic criteria. Does your medical textbook reference the latest DSM-5 TR? I don’t mean to drag this but NSSI disorder only checks out one of the nine diagnostic criteria. A full diagnosis only requires 5/9 . His history of early childhood abuse and neglect could have manifested his unstable and explosive personality.Im not trying to drag you I’m just a little passionate about this stuff .
ml has a shit ton of childhood trauma , like a LOT of it. So he doesn’t believe in relationships and shit. He experiences sudden extreme changes in emotions to the maximum extent. He genuinely crashed the fuck out because he saw mc hangout w the other coach. He thrashed around in his car got home and eventually CRIED in bed out of anger. Idk it reminds me of BPD I think? Lowkey finally feeling empathy for the douchebag
