hello, i'm saccharin. this is a general run-down of my boundaries. please keep in mind that i can/will still choose to not interact with you even if you have not exhibited behaviors listed on this rentry. i will block based on my own comfort.

my communications && friend requests are off to avoid most of the issues on this boundary list, and i don't really talk much in public servers. though, this has been written for the rare times i do.

• if we have unresolved personal issues. i will not be at fault for your unwillingness to communicate, as i am always open to resolving past tensions.
• if you attempt to create issues out of thin air to satisfy your own boredom. this isn't a show, you know.
• if you knew me from another community that i've obviously cut all ties with, unless i personally made sure you are still part of my life. i don't want any part in your doc-writing and subreddit tension anymore, thanks. it was never that serious.
• i interact with the expectation that you have a basic understanding of media literacy. i have a heavy distaste for people who parrot mischaracterization of my favorites from tiktok. i am at the point where i won't argue, i'll just ignore and block.
• people who (quite obviously) pretend to be what they're not. this ranges from putting on a persona they don't and can't embody to make themselves look better, to people who pretend they have mental disorders for clout points. i mean people who saw disorder on tiktok, read one slideshow, went "oh, i probably have this!" and ran with it. you make all self-diagnosers look bad.
• anti-self dx. i believe the first step to recovery is realizing exactly what's wrong with you, and if you don't have the resources or finances for a professional to figure it out for you, perhaps you should take recovery into your own hands. also, most (but not all, see bullet point above) do put significant research into studying and discovering themselves.
  • while on this topic, i have an extreme distaste for those who get diagnosed, medicated, and immediately pull the "holier than thou" card and play moral high ground towards those who are unable to professionally help themselves. you were them at some point, let's have a bit of basic empathy.
• if you feign acceptance for personality disorders, but leave at the first show of symptom.
  • the internet has normalized acceptance of mental issues, but only the things they can romanticize. my bpd will not be watered down to just "obsessive", it is much more than that. (but the moment you exhibit symptoms of genuine mental instability, people act shocked..)
• believing in 'cluster-b abuse', because abuse is abuse. there isn't a specific label that's attached to it, and it sure doesn't change just because it's coming from someone with issues
  • this also extends to those who stereotype any type of disorder. i am not a ticking time bomb and a master manipulator just because i am borderline and narcissistic. do not let your consumption of media villainize us without even attempting to understand us as people.
