"Hi, I'm new here and I'm looking for some advice. I have a friend who has Borderline Personality Disorder and she often talks about her favorite person. I'm not sure what this means, and I was hoping someone here might be able to explain it to me. Can anyone help me understand what a BPD favorite person is? Any insight would be really appreciated.
