A distinctive characteristic of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is the pattern of unstable relationships, marked by a "push-pull" dynamic, where the person with BPD alternates between idealizing their partners and pushing them away. Understanding this behavior and learning how to react when someone with BPD pushes you away can be instrumental in maintaining the relationship and providing support.
An intense fear of abandonment and fluctuating moods drives the push-pull dynamic in BPD. When people with BPD push others away, it doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of care or affection. Instead, it often signifies their struggle with intense emotions and fear of being left alone. It's an emotional defense mechanism triggered by their perceived threat of abandonment, even if it isn't real.
Establishing boundaries is essential when dealing with someone with BPD who tends to push others away. Clear boundaries provide a framework for interactions, which can help prevent you from being overly affected by the other person's emotional turmoil. Communicating these boundaries respectfully and assertively is important, ensuring that your emotional health is protected.
Reacting to the push-away behavior with compassion and patience can be beneficial. Acknowledge their feelings, and express your understanding without endorsing any harmful behavior. Understand that their actions stem from intense internal emotions and do not reflect your worth or actions.
Building trust is a gradual process, but it's key to maintaining a relationship with someone with BPD. Consistent behavior, keeping promises, and offering reassurance can help establish a sense of security and predictability, which is often lacking in people with BPD.
Encouraging the person with BPD to seek professional help is important if they haven't already. Therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can equip them with tools to manage their emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, and relationship instability.
When someone with BPD pushes you away, you must react with understanding, patience, and self-care. Although it can be difficult, remembering that their behavior is a response to their internal struggle and not a reflection of you can help maintain the relationship. By setting boundaries, building trust, and encouraging professional help, you can navigate the complexities of a relationship with someone with BPD.
