This is, in my opinion not necessarily a symptoms of being bipolar but, from the fact that I am hard to understand and I am fearful of people. So many of my past relationships have been ended by my being emotionally unbalanced so that I when I have a disagreement with someone I have a feeling it is going to be over. I guess it is born from a lack of trust in others and people not understanding me and hence relationships come and go. It's kind of a PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) thing for me. I believe it is something I have developed from the years I was not in treatment and didn't know what was wrong with me and how to relate to others because of it. That's just my take on it personally. I think Borderline Personality is more born in the disease and in as much a cause and Bipolar is just a lack of trust from years imbalance and is an effect.
