I think in person the want takes over and when I'm alone the fear takes over.

As I have know my friend with BPD for years, I think what you describe is part or what is going on. I have read people with BPD can be good at pick up others emotions I guess more so in person. I have also read it can be quiet tirering/overloading as well though picking up on all these emotions.
There is quiet a dramatic change in personality from on the phone quiet to in person lively which I have observed. They ration the amount of time they willing to mix, which is a different puzzel. It has caused problems when out as they went in to a rage once. Because they wanted to get home earlier. It often could just be triedness, maybe I am looking to deep thinking it might be abandonment or engulfing concerns.
