Red Flag 5: Child-Like State
Despite initially presenting as mature, a female with BPD can quickly shift into a child-like state, both physically and emotionally. You may witness extreme emotional regression or intense meltdowns, often triggered by minor incidents. Communication during these times becomes difficult, if not impossible. Her responses may seem completely out of touch with reality, making you feel like you’ve entered a surreal situation.
Red Flag 6: Difficulty Admitting Fault
Following emotional outbursts, she may struggle to admit fault. If she does apologize, it’s usually profuse and filled with shame, making her appear unworthy. Alternatively, she may deflect, blaming you for triggering her insecurities or referencing her past trauma to justify her actions. This leads to a cycle where you find yourself walking on eggshells to avoid triggering further episodes.
