This confuses me a bit. I know I am not the only one, because I have done so much reading on this subject and many are misdiagnosed and even people who are diagnosed as Borderline fail to fully understand their disorder.
In my opinion it is one of the trickiest diagnoses out there for therapists/psychs.
It seems to be the "catch all" diagnosis when all others don't quite fit.

An intelligent and motivated person can sometimes overcome (or at least mask) things that would otherwise set them apart. It can be very hard work, though.
