It’s almost impossible to be truly objective when looking back at your own actions and how you reacted.
My mother has mental health issues which I personally think are due to BPD. She thinks her problem is just that she pulls her hair and feels stressed, and has absolutely no awareness of her other abnormal behaviours.
It’s kind of on the opposite side of self diagnosis but I think it’s still relevant, because ultimately her internal logic makes all of her actions seem normal to her and she can’t view it objectively.
You need a third party to evaluate it.
