Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by impulsivity and unpredictability in interpersonal relationships, mood instability, fear of abandonment, and a profound sense of emptiness. A person with BPD may struggle with intense emotions and have difficulty regulating them, leading to impulsive and sometimes self-destructive behavior in social situations. While they may also exhibit traits such as self-centeredness or a need for attention, these are not the defining features of BPD.
