Coming from someone with multiple relatives with borderline and who was also subject to their abuse it is important to highlight their instability. Here’s how I describe it to my friends:

it’s a syndrome characterized by mood swings, outbursts, and unstable relationships. They are easily inflamed if they feel judged or rejected and are characteristically known to resort to social, emotional, or sexual manipulation to obtain closeness or protect their self image. it’s the result of very low distress tolerance.
