I have felt that way, too. Being close is one of the hardest things. Everything is charged, I'm more anxious and sensitive, I'm being triggered all over the place, etc. It can put a lot of pressure on both people, especially if the other person is unfamiliar with BPD issues, etc. Although catch-22, there. The other person knowing about the BPD can be another source of trouble.
