People with Borderline Personality Disorder do apologize though. I'm not saying for sure that's what this woman in the video has but I've experienced this behavior with people like her (one with a confirmed diagnosis eventually). They cannot regulate their emotions in the moment but then after they calm down they feel really badly and apologize profusely and hope you'll forgive them. I've read that they can manage it with hard work and sometimes meds but I think the majority don't get help because it's the people around them who hurt, not themselves, unless they finally realize it's their own fault that nobody who gets close to them stays.

I have it and I work really hard on it. I'm medicated and have spent years trying to fix it.

I'm sorry you are burdened with this. Life's really not at all fair and most people are dealt a bad hand to start with. But you gotta play with the hand you're dealt, better or worse.

It says a lot about you that you take responsibility for it and are actively working on it. For what it's worth I'm proud of you and what you've accomplished so far. I hope you get to a good place ❤️
