I've met several people with BPD who were not hard to deal with at all. Some are even so malleable it becomes a problem. Then some I've met have been quite vile. I really have a hard time imagining they have the same thing. But according to the manual, there might just be one symptom overlap between two people with BPD and that in itself is strange. It's like then where is the essence of the syndrome?
