some smart dude once told me about bpd ..."you don't have a girlfriend mate...you take a hostage, but you don't threaten their life you threaten your own"

You expressed this so well. It's so true. And so sad. And, as you say - now that we know this, we purposely isolate ourselves. Personally, I find isolation intolerable so inevitably I break down and get into another dysfunctional relationship. And I'm not even freakin' divorced yet! But then again, that's just another problem to add into the mix.
