Hi, I’m @kermaphroditos and I came up with some designs for avoidant and borderline personality disorder flags.

AvPD

First is avoidant personality disorder. The shades of gray-blue are supposed to represent overwhelming anxiety and low self-esteem (people with anxiety and low self-esteem tend to say that gray is the best colour to represent our moods). The yellow represents anxiety and being surrounded by this big world of criticism and rejection, with the white symbolizing the belief that we have no connection with the outside world. “Too much [yellow], or the wrong tone in relation to the other tones in a colour scheme, can cause self-esteem to plummet, giving rise to fear and anxiety.”

Edit: Changed the design to look less like the Libranonbinary pride flag.

BPD

This one is for borderline personality disorder. The even split between black and white symbolizes “splitting”, seeing everything in black and white, all good or all bad. In the center is a gray hand of Eris, referring to the Greek goddess of discord, Eris. There tends to be a lot of contradiction and discord in the lives of people with BPD. The gray is the colour of the BPD awareness ribbon.

I hope these designs are good, if anything needs to be changed let me know!

Nice! Hopefully this’ll encourage others to make some flags, too!
