Original term coined by @petdepense on this post, flag by me.
✧An Absorption Person (APP/ABP) is a Special Person attachment experienced by those with persodivergence (or may be a side effect of some medications). An APP is someone the persodivergent individual relies on to form their personality. This may be because the pwPD wants to please their APP so much that they absorb traits that weren't initially theirs before meeting them to appear more pleasing to their APP.✧
Note: Was coined with dpd & bpd in mind, but it was stated by the corner anyone who relates can use it
A similar term might be Reflection Person, a term made for individuals with bpd that mirror people. This can be movements, words, emotions, etc.

For a full list of Special Person terms, I made this doc for a comprehensible list. If you'd like to use my PD flags as emojis, I made this discord server with them as heart emojis! (Originally made to react to my SP's messages).
DISCLAIMER: All of these terms already have existed in the community before I posted them. If you have genuine questions or concerns, feel free to reach out and I will try to work with you! These terms are meant to be inclusive of ALL experiences I have heard of or experienced myself, so I have no issue adding things if necessary. These posts are meant to be short and sweet descriptions, not full deep delves on what each means! Feel free to make your own deep dives posts about your own experiences with these and @ me, I’ll definitely repost as long as they’re done in a respectful manner.
