Spontaneous: People with BPD feel free to let whimsy carry them through a life of spur-of-the-moment adventures.

Curious: People with BPD feel their curiosities very strongly and can become attached and involved with new concepts very quickly and actively.

Insightful: Because people with BPD ruminate on their lives and often go through therapy or self-help programs as part of treatment, they often have especially insightful commentary about life and it’s trials and tribulations.

Compassionate: Some people with BPD experience feelings so strongly that they even begin to feel the feelings of those around them. This is called empathy. Many people with BPD approach the world selflessly, hoping to do better for others than we do for ourselves.
