Psychological ambivalence in its pathological forms is not a problem that's exclusive to any one disorder, it's a common issue with many faces.

These things being written about are not about judging anyone. It's also not an accusation of anything. I also understand that it can sound like it is, especially if you're feeling vulnerable and/or misunderstood. No one likes to be judged harshly.
