WTF is a favorite person?! (Feat. JJ Jinx)

Hey ya'll!

Today JJ Jinx talks with us about her experience and the
experience of many other people she collected qualitative data
from regarding what an FP (favorite person) is from a borderline
perspective. We talk about how it helps us cope and how it may
not help us cope. JJ offered tons of insight as a person with BPD
who relates heavily to the FP symptom as well as offers beautiful
direct quotes from people who have had FPs and people who have
been FPs. Thank you JJ Jinx for sharing your experience on the
pod!
 
 General information on FPs:

2022 peer-reviewed, scientific data on FPs:

I want to note that this research discusses how having a FP can
be very destructive and this may be triggering to some of us with
BPD. I also want to note that, even when it's hard, understanding
our symptoms and their positive AND negative effects helps us
grow and find recovery from our symptoms.
