As for the people getting defensive, why? Do you have different experiences? Do you think BPD isnt a difficult mental health illness? Do you have it yourself? Have you experienced it personally? I havent read a lot of reasons from those posts.

My best friend is diagnosed with it. She's very clingy and quick to essentially lock herself away and cry if she feels a relationship is being threatened. She does it on a friendship level as well. It's never been abusive. Just makes her feel like shit if I'm hanging out with another friend too much or something. Her "abuse" is complete directed towards herself.

She does the same thing with guys that she dates as well. None of them have ever led me to believe that she's outwardly abusive towards them. They've mentioned that she gets super clingy or depressed when she's insecure though.

On the upside, people she loves. She really loves. It makes you feel very special. I'm not dating her so it's not suffocating or anything, so it's a pleasure to be around.

This is what a pretty mild case of bps looks like. I mentioned it on the first page but didn't go into detail.
