The very label of “BPD” places the onus and shifts the focus, albeit implicitly, upon the outside..
“She was an evil BPD”
—not—
“She was unhealthy, and I value myself too much so I walked away.
—or—
“‘I wanted to walk away but I didn’t. I learned ...”
YOU are the master of your fate. If you need to categorize people and events as “bad,” you are simply projecting your own insecurities and shortcomings upon the world with “your eyes closed.”
Your “complaints” are open for all to see. And that is exactly what they are: “complaints,” incited by being a victim of the “outside.” The minute you proclaim you are no victim is the time you will transcend.
I’ve met more characters in my life than most of you, but I never pointed at them for my temporary setbacks. Instead I thanked them for the lesson. I looked inward to try to identify the lessons implicit in every ostensibly unfruitful circumstance.
You focus on the people, and not the lesson. This is your error.
