I did a good one at NYE cos our friend was drinking this purple vodka stuff and I told my GF it was drank... and then I kinda set it up by asking the guy what was the other word for lean and we had a conversation about drank and then when I told GF we sort of looked at that guy and I started a question that seemed like it would lead into our previous conversation so he said "yeah drank" and that totally sucked her in. It did help that she was in a slightly altered state herself.

Uncovering the mask of borderline personality disorder: knowledge to empower primary care providers - PubMed
Knowledgeable, nonjudgmental primary healthcare providers can play a key role in providing BPD sufferers and their loved ones with accurate and timely diagnosis, referral, treatment, resources, and support. Internet blogging may have important implications in care.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
should alert a primary care provider (PCP) to possible di-
agnosis of BPD comprise a history of doctor shopping,
legal suits against healthcare professionals, suicide at-
tempts, several brief marriages or unsuccessful intimate
relationships, an immediate idealization of the PCP as the
most “wonderful doctor” in comparison to any previous
practitioners, and most importantly, an excessive interest
in the PCP’s personal life as well as attempts to test or in-
vade professional boundaries (Carlat, 1998; Gross et al.,
2002; Sansone & Sansone, 2010). It is important to note
that BPD is often misdiagnosed or may take years to be
accurately diagnosed (Fallon, 2003; U.S. DHHS, Healthy
People 2020, 2012).

The trick's to make it about something pedestrian. The kind of thing nobody would assume you'd make up because it's so boring. I once told my mum my brother slept with his slippers on because his duvet was too short and she was like "Oh no! That's awful!", went and told him how sad it was and he was just like "What the hell are you on about?".

A weird thing that I keep "lying" about people's nationalities. Not lying cos I totally believe it - somehow I get confused - but I told everyone that this one girl was Armenian (she was Portuguese) and loads of people asked her about it. There are several examples of this but the weirdest one was when I heard this guy at a party doing this amazing... what was it, I think Scouse, or Scottish maybe accent, and I told people how good he was at doing it and they kinda grabbed him and made him do a Glaswegian accent and he was like "yeah sure" but he was really terrible at it and then he said "why did you want me to do that?" and it turns out I'd totally imagined him doing this amazing impression. Also I thought he was Italian but turned out he was Portuguese too.

Oh yeah and there was another girl I and I swore she was from Iran. Also Portuguese. I think she DID live in Tehran for a while so it wasn't totally random like the other two.

I only really do it in that silly, jokey context with immediate family and then tell them I'm taking the piss pretty swiftly. I wouldn't be able to make up stuff getting to know people. I'd feel too guilty.

Online support communities provide an additional
venue for BPD sufferers, friends, families, and significant
others, to learn about the disorder and identify resources
for treatment. Such online communities offer public or
private virtual forums where people can communicate
in a safe environment about their experiences, concerns,
educational material, and coping mechanisms (Wehbe-
Alamah, Kornblau, Haderer, & Erickson, 2012).

Methodology
Inductive content analysis was used for analyzing qual-
itative data obtained from three public virtual forums that
were identified through a search of “borderline personal-
ity disorder”
...
Findings

of the 1109 blog postings. Each theme is presented be-
low with its representing patterns and descriptors (quo-
tations):
Theme 1: Online blogging provides an outlet to seek and/or
provide support and education, a means of coping with condi-
tion, and a venue for offering hope and a sense of normalcy.
