We will have to respectfully disagree. It's okay for one to worry: then deal with it. Unfortunately, too many of us took the blame through out our lives. Some of us no longer choose to do that, and some of us have to learn how to not do that. It has nothing to do with taking ownership of "what's theirs," we are responsible for how we respond, not the other person.
So, when you say you have your "BPD" radar on and you don't like how you feel, then that is your responsibility to deal with it. Boy, I'm glad I had therapy today.
How another responds or does not respond to us does not take away from us gaining self awareness. This is only my opinion.
