Individuals who suffer significant symptoms of emotional dysregulation often recall events differently.

When confronted with different recollections they often insist that others are lying to them.

Being perceived by others as a liar compromises most relationships.

Acquiring more durable skills for emotional regulation will result in being able to see events as others do.

People who suffer significant symptoms of BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) often remember events differently than those around them. When they state their version, or narrative, others accuse them of lying or “making stuff up”.

This is often perceived by others as lying and interferes with most relationships.
