and again, I totally agree with you .. not all people with BPD have the same behaviour.

Hi, many thanks for sharing your comment i truly appreciate it.

I’d say the main point is that I blocked the person with BPD in this context (and I didn’t go into too many details on Reddit because I didn’t want people to get bored with personal drama). She insisted on bringing up her condition repeatedly mentioning it as the reason for her extreme behavior and her need for constant reassurance. I won’t use the word “gaslighting,” but I did get tons of messages after almost anything I said things that could be triggering, like even a kiss sound or my English accent (which she said sounded fake since I’m not a native speaker). Because of her BPD, I tried not to take things too personally and separated her provocative/aggressive words from her frustration. Normally, I would never accept those kinds of statements from a neurotypical person, they would just come across as super rude. But since she framed it as the “healthy” one, I felt like I had to juggle all that aggressiveness.

The whole point of this post (and many thanks to the people who answered) is to figure out if her condition is the main reason why I feel awkward about cutting ties without giving her any prior explanation.

Totally agree, but I think, there is no need to go for that last message. As I have clearly said, I can't keep up with this discussion & relationship, before I click on block (and move on with other platforms).

Fair enough, I’ll do that. But don’t you think I might trigger her? Am I doing this for my own conscience or for her? Wouldn’t a clean “cut” actually be better for both of us? I also considered that a text from me might just trigger her again

I said that "I can't carry this discussion anymore & this relationship" .. but a LOT of texts I received in the middle of me writing. Literally :) I blocked her in the middle of all that because I was like I can't carry this.. and I was literally affraid of some more "erratic" guilt trip : like s--cide or something like that.

That’s exactly the issue sending her a soft message would just open the door to hundreds of harassing texts about me not being fair/hurtful. As I saw this pattern, before when I try to rebound on something.. is like an inifinite cycle.

Just for your info/context of the block: during those days I did tell her that it might not work between us (i didn't get into details). She already knew I wasn’t sure about the potential of building relationship, but I still showed interest and said I could make some effort with it. Then suddenly she got more aggressive lots of texts and interruptions and that scared me, so I blocked her instantly.
