It sounds more like a borderline trait than anything specific to bipolar to me. I can see it happening during a mood episode like an agitated depression or a dysphoric mania, but if it's happening all of the time it seems more like a personality trait. But it's not surprising that you all have this in common and have bipolar, as borderline traits commonly show up in BP even if you don't fully have BPD.
