The doctor-lady that testified in the Depp-Heard trial explained it brilliantly. I have borderline, and couldn’t have explained it more clear.

It’s, very basically, a disorder that makes moods and relationships unstable. If you imagine your mood between -100 and +100, people with borderline could have extreme mood changes at the smallest trigger. Imagine a gamer that is winning, he happy, smiling, laughing, etc. Then he dies and gets pissed, and yells about cheaters, etc. Then, he starts winning again, he’s back to happy. That’s sort of like what borderline can be like, except without the catalyst of video games.

The same applies to a person’s relationships. It’s less severe for some.
