Quiet/discouraged/"high-functioning" BPD
Quote:
In typical BPD, emotions are often externalized. Individuals may engage in impulsive behaviors, experience intense anger, or have frequent mood swings that affect their interactions with others. They might also struggle with maintaining stable relationships due to their volatile emotional state.
Conversely, those with Quiet BPD tend to internalize their struggles. Rather than projecting their emotions outwardly, they direct these feelings towards themselves. This internalization can manifest as self-blame, self-isolation, or even self-harm. Individuals with Quiet Borderline Personality Disorder are likely to suppress their feelings, leading others to perceive them as calm or emotionally balanced. This facade masks the tempest of emotions roiling beneath the surface.
