        As far as I’ve been told, that’s an extension of their inability to regulate emotions. They aren’t more in tune with other’s emotions, but rather, their emotional responses to other’s emotions is stronger than the average person.

        People with bpd aren’t sensing other people’s emotions more, they are reacting to it more due to their dysregulation.
