The feeling of a borderline personality

Borderline personality disorder patients often bring strong feelings of instability and conflicting experiences to others, characterized by extreme fluctuations in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and emotions. Patients with borderline personality disorder are prone to exhibiting a black-and-white thinking pattern in social interactions, and their evaluations of others may quickly switch between idealization and belittling. In intimate relationships, there is often a contradictory behavior of excessive dependence and sudden estrangement, which can make those around them feel confused and exhausted due to this fickle attitude. They may erupt with anger due to subtle signals of rejection, or they may experience strong abandonment emotions due to brief separations, which often do not match the actual situation. Some patients may use self harm or suicide threats to maintain relationships, which can easily cause feelings of guilt and powerlessness among family and friends. Emotional outbursts may be accompanied by impulsive consumption, substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior, and often lead to depression due to feelings of shame afterwards. These manifestations are not intentional manipulation, but a genuine painful response of the patient's lack of emotional regulation ability. Long term interaction may create a tense interpersonal environment, but professional treatment can significantly improve symptoms. When interacting with individuals with borderline personality disorder, it is important to maintain stable boundaries and consistent response attitudes to avoid getting caught up in the vortex of extreme emotions. Encourage patients to adhere to professional interventions such as dialectical behavior therapy, while caregivers also need to pay attention to their own mental health and seek psychological counseling support when necessary. Establishing a regular daily rhythm and cultivating emotional regulation skills such as mindfulness exercises can help improve the quality of interaction between both parties.
