Dating with Borderline Personality Disorder (w/ Makhyli)

About this episode

Nicole Byer and guest Makhyli discuss dating experiences, relationship challenges with BPD, and share horror stories from their dating lives.

Artist and actress Makhyli ( Boys World ) joins Nicole to chat about her experience dating while in a pop girl group. Makhyli shares how she literally created a "Build-A-Boy" slideshow presentation to manifest her current boyfriend - and it actually worked! The girls swap their worst car-date horror stories, from a guy so cheap he forced Makhyli to share a single McDonald's french fry, to a man who casually had rotting food in his backseat. Makhyli opens up about navigating relationship paranoia with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and the two discuss tips they've picked up for dating with ADHD. Plus they chat about their love for the latest season of Love on the Spectrum . Makhyli's new single, I Need You (Cat and Mouse) is out now!
