Can a person be borderline without extreme impulsivity (but retained internal) and without self harm - suicidal thoughts ?
But with - fear of abandonment (talking often about that, dreaming that we break up etc), - splitting (strong idealization at first, then cycles between idealization and devaluation for no reason) - bad self-image (thinking she's very ugly for no reason, not even want to look into mirror or take photos; sometimes feeling proud and more pretty; often not at all) - chronic emptiness (not everyday, but at least weekly) - big mood fluctuations Impulsivity kept under control (gets angry but never really raged or trowed objects etc; gives silent treatment). No risk talking, driving safe, no binge eating, only sex with some persons just met/promiscuity. |

There is a "variety" of BPD (for lack of a better term) which is referred to as "quiet borderline". Perhaps this is the sort of thing you have in mind? Family therapist Kati Morton has a video on her YouTube channel on the subject. Here's a link:

The 'quiet borderline' as Skeezyks mentioned, could be what you're referring to

As my therapist explained to me - personality disorders exist on a spectrum. Think of a line, with the different disorders as marks along that line. It's possible to have more than one disorder. It's possible to have more than one condition - with some symptoms being part of an entirely different condition. That's the thorny issue that professionals can help with. Now, any given disorder also exists on a spectrum, with each symptom having it's own mark on that line. Yes, it's entirely possible to hit some of those marks, but not all. That isn't to say the number of marks indicates severity of the condition - it just means, the marks hit are issues to deal with, the others, aren't part of the issue. For myself? The particular label of what is "wrong" with me isn't the least bit important. What therapy is best for me, to help me deal with my issues, is what is important.
