It's not a trait of BPD. I'm not focusing this at just you but I've noticed a few fraus have suggested Jack may have BPD. As someone with the diagnosis, it's can be quite hurtful, as there seems to be the assumption that people with BPD have no empathy and are manipulative, which is completely untrue. I wouldn't be able to do the job I do if it was.

It is a very misunderstood and stigmatised disorder. People with BPD can infact have a strong sense of empathy; they can empathise with the suffering and also the joy of others. I would never dream of treating people the way Jack does - she is definitely leaning more towards the traits of NPD and HPD than BPD.

I'm someone who said that recently so I would like to apologise to you. My post was poorly worded.

What I meant to say was that I do think Jack has a PD (and we can only speculate from the comfort of our armchairs). I mentioned EUPD because (to me) she has an unstable self-image, has trouble in her relationships and there appears to be some (family?) trauma lurking away in the background. What I did NOT mean to imply is that EUPD would be an excuse for her willingness to hurt people or advance herself at the expense of others.

I do apologise if my views came across as ill-informed or as propping up unhelpful stereotypes. Thanks for pulling me up on this x

Re: Headrush Spaghetti. I'm not saying I ran so @TurnedUpInTipp can walk, but 2017 Moglits was a fan of Jack's (ssh) and made it.

Now. Three years is a long time, but it wasn't...bad. It broadly worked. I mean, as a Thread 2 Caballer, I am willing to take one for my fraus and herrs and make it again to the absolute letter (as I seem to remember making some small tweaks, like actually roasting the garlic rather than burning my house down), but at the same time if TUIT already has their shopping list of white chocolate and dehydrated mushrooms, then...

I've written this before but our coven has grown since then - tried and tested Jack recipes from memory...

- Chickpea falafels - they're alright
- Red bean and dumpling soup - pretty good, provided you don't mind the minky (teehee) colour
- Feisty Soup - ignore the title, it's alright. Good for blasting away a cold
- Peanut butter and jam cookies - good, in the way that child-made cookies are good and taste vaguely like Play-Doh
- Mushroom, lentil, and ale pie - actually very good, but subject to a lot of tweaking
- Spinach dumplings - absolute disaster, and I could tell from reading the recipe, but gave it a punt and ended up with a pan of floating leaves and flour clumps
- Come to Bed Parmigiana - nice! No-one came around to bone me tho
- Salad bag pesto - made it, didn't die, it was absolutely gross

I think there's more...

Precisely , it’s all just bollocks. There’s no way in hell shes just spending £20 a week 3 people (she’s probably spending Buddles money

I’ve never seen anyone apologise for using expensive pasta and claim it as a present.
Just duck off , can’t she admit she’s no longer poor and can afford more expensive food.

She is such a fraud

Why has she been getting all that horrible manky veg from Asda when she could have been going to her good friend Dave the greengrocer all along?

Do try to keep up, dear heart, that was THEN when she was being a povo shopper, NOW she is ethical, shop local, and we don't mention the ethical issues around avocados, OK!

Jack's new SocMed mentor? Pleased to have been featured in his latest video, it is easy to see their respective influence upon one another's body of work.

Perhaps Jack isn’t including the fancy Waitrose deli counter cheese in the £20 budget. Jack spends £20 at the greengrocer and Asda, while BB Louisa tops it up at Waitrose.

Thank you for this. BPD here too and I agree 100℅. Having BPD usually, and in my case DEFINITELY means I feel too much and have trouble regulating my emotions, it does not make you a cold heartless witch at all. Far from it in fact.

I firmly believe that today is the first day she realised local shops can be cheaper than Asda.

I've been legit staring at this back to front frying pan for minutes thinking it was a portable fan 😳 and wondering if she uses it to blow the steam off her slop before she takes a picture?

Thank you for saying this. I have this diagnosis too and was getting very hurt and upset at some of the references. While I disagree with my diagnosis on the grounds that some of the grounds for it are plain wrong (eg my statement that I have never been suicidal being turned into suicidal ideation), the comments and general view of it is stigmatising.
