Borderline Personality Disorder is complex and multifaceted, but when viewed as a superpower, it ranks up there with the best. Consider the following.
A key characteristic of the disorder is that emotions are felt deeply and with a vividness that others may never experience. Someone with BPD can feel a moment of joy more intensely, or feel empathy in a way that truly mirrors the pain or happiness of those around them. This heightened emotional sensitivity can make them incredibly attuned to the needs and emotions of others, often making them more compassionate and empathetic than many people who are less in touch with their feelings. This intense approach to relationships can lead to powerful bonds, as their love, loyalty, and care are often expressed in profound ways.
These levels of intensity of emotions also often serve as a powerful source of motivation and creativity. When someone with BPD is passionate about something, whether it’s a cause, a person, or an idea, they pursue it with an all-or-nothing drive that few others can match. This can translate into fierce dedication in personal and professional pursuits. They have a natural inclination toward art, music, or writing, using their emotional experiences to fuel their work. The capacity to commit themselves and think outside of the box is a hallmark of BPD, and when harnessed, it can lead to groundbreaking ideas or projects.
Another key aspect of BPD is the ability to see the world in stark contrasts: what is perceived as “good” or “bad,” with little room for in-between. This way of thinking can lead to decisiveness, as individuals with BPD often have a clear sense of what they want or believe in, even if their perceptions shift quickly. While this can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, it can also be a source of clarity.
How it's made
The unisex tshirt blank for adults this tee is based on is a Gildan 64000. Made with ethically grown and harvested ring-spun US cotton, this is a lightweight fabric (4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)) in a modern unisex cut. The classic fit with the crew neckline deliver a clean, versatile style that can match any occasion, whether formal or semi-formal.
Shoulders are reinforced with twill tape, there are no side seams for a smoother fit, and the ribbed-knit collar helps prevent curling. All shirts feature a pearlized, tear-away label for total wearing comfort.
Solid colors are 100% cotton, while heathers and sport grey use polyester blends for added durability. Note that due to the fabric properties, the White color variant may appear slightly off-white rather than bright white. 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999/44/EC.
