That's not really how I described it. People with BPD have trouble deriving a core sense of their own identity, and so their sense of self is heavily influenced by how they perceive what others think of them. Again, this causes them to overreact to even slight criticisms, and often to internalize other people's poor opinions of them, which can create a sort of emotional feedback loop.
