We often talk about the signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder aka BPD that impede a person's life. However, there are positive traits of borderline personality disorder that many people don't talk about. While BPD symptoms should not be diminished and it's important to consider therapy and treatment-the positives that can come from having behaviors of borderline personality disorder should not get ignored-especially because it is so stigmatized.
