Do people with borderline personality disorder feel remorse or guilt after lash!
Question:
Do people with borderline personality disorder feel remorse or guilt after lashing out needlessly in anger?
Met and dated a woman two months ago who for no reason becomes mean and angry suddenly. I have stopped seeing her because she breaks my heart each time. I need to know if she realizes that she has reacted abnormaly or does she in her own mind feel her actions were justified
Answers:
Actually a person with true borderline personality disorder will usually not feel a great deal of remorse or guilt for their actions. They may apologize but generally they justify their actions and may even bring up the situation that caused the problem in a later arguement and suddenly it becomes apparent that, in spite of their apology, they felt they were right all along.
