How would you explain what borderline personality disorder is to someone who doesn’t have it?
In: 1068
Time and past experiences don’t limit your emotional intensity.
A person with BPD may have a severe emotional reaction to someone they haven’t invested much time in. They might have an extremely negative reaction or feeling of abandonment for a short time without contact. That may happen even if they’ve been close to the person for decades. How long you’ve known someone is supposed to play a large part in limiting these emotions but that limiter is practically gone, resulting in reactions that seem drastic or nonsensical to someone without BPD.
