the term "manipulative" does indeed sound insulting, yet it is in sooooo much literature
How else can we say it? - the connotation is too negative and doesn't quite fit, but the whole BPD thing tends to have a negative connotation
Maybe we just keep changing the words as they get too many associations to them, but isn't every diagnosis an assumption - this one particularly problematic because it assumes intent?
