Namely the constant reframes and contextual hijacks (in reference to the statement). I teach folks that when you meet someone who constantly shames and erects barriers in any interaction, run away.(reference to the statement) They are ill and toxic to the rational mind.(again, reference to the statement but i can see how that might have gotten misconstrued)
In no way did I tell you that I thought you had BPD, but did suggest your statement had the traits, (specifically constant reframes and barrier erection after barrier erection) that are hallmarks of that behavior. for reference:
