The whole description might be helpful but here's part of it: "Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a condition characterized by difficulties in regulating emotion. This difficulty leads to severe, unstable mood swings, impulsivity and instability, poor self-image and stormy personal relationships. People may make repeated attempts to avoid real or imagined situations of abandonment. The combined result of living with BPD can manifest into destructive behavior, such as self-harm (cutting) or suicide attempts. ..."

Most of our lies are more like distortions based on our perception/feelings. Gossip, obsession, negativity toward you, those could be any number of things but regardless of dx it sounds like best to stay away from this person. They will likely become fixated on someone else once you are not around.
