What does it take to make you see?
People with BPD also tend to think in extremes, a phenomenon called “dichotomous” or “black-or-white” thinking. People with BPD often struggle to see the complexity in people and situations and are unable to recognise that things are often not either perfect or horrible, but are something in between.
For example, they might one day believe their partner is the most wonderful, loving person in the world. The next day, they may think their partner is evil, hateful, and contemptuous. This can harm their potential to hold lasting interpersonal relationships and how they can interact with others.
Dissociation is a common symptom of BPD that involves feeling “unreal,” numb, or separate from one’s own body or psychological experiences.4 In most cases, people with BPD don’t experience this symptom all the time. Instead, it tends to emerge during times of stress.
Some experts believe that dissociation is a way of coping with very intensely emotional situations by “shutting down” or separating from the experience. This distance can cause people to take more risks since they do not feel connected to the situation.
BPD + paranoia: People with BPD may believe that others have hostile intent toward them. They may see signs of this that reinforce this belief all around them. For example, they might believe there are hidden meanings in people’s words, gestures, body language, and eye glances. This creates suspicion and distrust of others.
