It is believed that the intensity of contingencies that regulate the stressful experiences between the infant and the attachment figure influence personality formation, with early attachment types predisposing to different types of personality organization. The disoriented type of attachment is the source of the formation of the borderline personality organization. The disorganized type of attachment makes it impossible to learn the experience of stable, reliable and predictable interpersonal interactions. Such an infant does not have a reliable anchor point that will allow him to discover his own contours and develop the ability to build healthy relationships, as well as to be able to self-relieve. As a result, the adult develops borderline characteristics in the absence of the opportunity for a connected sense of self. Failure to freely self-regulate leads to the invention of workarounds in order to change their internal states. While those with a flexible arsenal of self-regulation skills can, in the midst of sadness, seek help from friends, read a book, or take a walk in the park, people with a border organization tend to regulate others to meet their needs.
During adolescence, it is normal to test the boundaries of others, thus exploring and shaping the norms on which social interactions are based. But this is very different from borderline manifestations, which is dominated by a constant mode of interpersonal involvement, which is felt by the interaction partner as chaotic and disorganized. Borderline pathology often reveals itself in self-destructive behaviors such as self-harm, alcohol, drug abuse, promiscuous behaviors that act as a way to change their own internal states.
Adolescents at risk of developing borderline pathology tend to experience emotional states that they are unable to control and which change rapidly and unpredictably. Teenagers are prone to painful feelings of emptiness and are not able to comfort and calm themselves on their own, for this they always need someone else. Already in adolescence, a characteristic feature of borderline pathology is found, based on the polar perception of another person according to the formula "only good" or "only bad", which is characteristic of the perception of children aged 18–36 months. Children of this age split the world into exceptionally good or exceptionally bad sectors. If the mother satisfies all needs, she is considered good, if she is unattainable or does not satisfy the needs, she is considered bad. It is common for the borderline individual to be stuck in this childish cleavage. Splitting is a psychological process related to the mechanisms of psychological defense, which manifests itself when all objects are divided into "absolutely good" and "absolutely bad", and abrupt transitions from one extreme to another are possible, when suddenly all feelings and thoughts related to a particular person become the exact opposite of what they were a minute ago.
Teens tend to quickly become attached to people, but when something upsets them, they show a significant impairment in integrating the good and the bad into the image of one person, which leads to serious dramas and dire consequences for all participants in the relationship. An adolescent at risk for borderline disorder reacts impulsively to any situation in which he has been rejected, victimized, or violent. The teenager is inclined to think out the malicious intent of others. Eating disorders are often associated with borderline disorder quite often occur during adolescence. Such adolescents, cursing their parents and destroying the surrounding objects, often tend to run away from home and get into various "borderline" adventures. With such peculiarities of the adolescent's behavior and reaction, the "wait and see" position of adults is not correct, expectations that the child will outgrow and calm down are often not justified, therefore it is better to consult a specialist in time. Working with a specialist is necessary primarily for the development of more successful self-control, self-regulation and constructive interaction with society. The intensification of borderline responses to personality disorder is closely associated with severe psychosocial failure, which is due to common adolescent problems and the “root” features of borderline response, which can be timely adjusted in the context of the adolescent's relationship with the specialist.
