Query: "What is the difference between quiet BPD and the more "classic" BPD?"

Quiet BPD is a form of borderline personality disorder that is characterized by more internalized behaviors, such as self-harm, isolation, and suicidal ideation. In contrast, classic BPD is a form of the disorder that is typically characterized by more outwardly expressed behaviors, such as self-destructive behaviors, impulsive actions, and volatile relationships. Both forms of BPD can have similar psychological effects, such as low self-esteem, difficulty regulating emotions, and difficulty managing interpersonal relationships. However, their outward expression is different, with classic BPD leaning more towards outwardly expressed behaviors, while quiet BPD is more inwardly expressed.
