Splitting & Borderline Personality Disorder

When someone has BPD they tend to see people as all good or all bad. Meaning that someone who is good cannot make a mistake and someone who is bad cannot be kind or thoughtful. Relationships are black or white. All or nothing.
What I find interesting and kind of ironic, is that people who are in relationships with people who use splitting as a defense mechanism tend to see the BPD person as horrible, hurtful, and just bad. It’s almost like splitting causes a self-fulfilling prophecy or is self sabotage for the BPD person.. And that sucks.
By separating people out like this, those with BPD could think that they are protecting themselves from getting hurt or feeling abandoned because if someone shows some “bad” signs then they get rid of them, and end that relationship right away. But what this actually ends up doing is pushing everyone in our life away, and leaving us isolated and alone. It can be very hard to notice when we are doing it and even harder to stop.
