Just because you have BPD doesn’t mean you are always the wrong one

I had lovely situation like this recently. I got in an argument at a party and everyone is still saying that I'm in the wrong.

My friend did something crappy but it was unintentional (I didn't know it was unintentional yet). I tried to talk to them calmly and they immediately started lying to me and trying to gaslight me when it really wasn't that serious to need to try to gaslight someone over. I said some rude shit and cut myself off mid sentence and told them to just leave me alone for a little bit. (So I could try to think of some coping mechanisms for this situation)

Then they went and told everyone at the entre fucking party. Pouting and playing the victim. People started coming up to me and asking me weird shit. One person said I was just over reacting because of my past trauma and it wasn't related to this it was a flashback (it fucking wasn't) And another person tried to gaslight me again and tell me a 3rd story of events that never happened (this really set me off). One girl told me I'm trying to communicate with a man so I should give up (wow wtf great advice s/). Then I got pissed and said I could just get a ride home in front of everyone because I didn't like how everyone was ganging up on me.

They then took my negative tone as me definitely having a mental breakdown and being unhinged or something. Then my friend admitted the original story was true and I wasn't making it up. Things just got out of hand and what they did and how they made me feel was completely unintentional. That's all they had to say in the fucking first place. Now everyone in that friend group is convinced I'm mentally ill and they seem afraid of me or something. Even though me and the original friend are fine now, the rest of them think its all my fault. I should have never revealed my mental health struggles to any of them. Sorry for the rant I just really needed to get that off my chest.
