So many people assume that personality disorder mean that there's something wrong with your personality. That isn't the case. You are not broken and you do not need to be fix. It simply means that you have certain symptoms to meet the criteria of a diagnosis (a label), and you need to work on coping with these symptoms in order to function better in life.

BPD is often seen as bad. I have BPD, but I don't see it as bad. I have qualities that most other people don't possess...good qualities. I do struggle a lot, but then again who doesn't struggle.

Besides, research has shown that people with BPD grow out of these symptoms with or without treatment. Treatment just makes the process a little easier and faster. In a sense, BPD means that our emotional growth was stunted. But we do catch up
