No man, I never agreed that she has a fear of abandonment, I specifically said I don't feel as though she has a fear of abandonment. I don't agree with the chronic feelings of emptiness either, nothing in her questline really suggests that she feels empty as a person, she expresses concern over where a life in Night City might lead her, but she never states that she feels an emptiness in regards to her life or who she is as a person. As soon as she is back with the Aldecaldo's V mentions that she seems a lot happier, chronic feelings of emptiness is similar to depression in that it's not just circumstantial, it's persistent even throughout positive life changes. That means it would require you to not only feel sad/empty/depressed when something bad happens in your life (losing scorpion/getting ostracized by your family), but also when something good happens, if it were the other way around every person on planet Earth would qualify as having a depressive disorder or having chronic feelings of emptiness.Well let's see.
Symptom 1 - Fear of abandonment. You agree she has it so +1
Symptom 2 - Unstable relationships. Her history with others, the clan. Even you realize this so this is +2 traits.
Symptom 3 - Unclear or shifting self-image. Panam at times feels good about herself and at other times questions herself. This is during conversations about he leaving the clan. Not a lot of proof either way so let's mark this as a negative. Still + 2.
Symptom 4 - Impulsive self-destructive behaviors. This is described as: "you may engage in harmful, sensation-seeking behaviors, especially when you’re upset. " Panam clearly has this and it was shown during her behavior surrounding Nash. Just because you CAN talk her out of it doesn't mean she didn't want to act on it. Sensation-seeking - panzer tank. It's now +3.
Symptom 5 - Self-harm. I didn't see anything in the game for this one so it's a negative. Still +3.
Symptom 6 - Extreme emotional swings. Yep 100% Panam. No one can argue this one. Just watch her interactions with Saul, you, Mitch etc. It's now +4.
Symptom 7 - Chronic feelings of emptiness. I think Panam suffers from this one. She talks about it when mentioning Night City. She talks about her loneliness and it fits in closely with abandonment. This is one that the game offers some clues on but doesn't proved conclusive evidences either way. I say +5, you will say no so +4.
Symptom 8 - Explosive Anger. Panam 1000%. It's now +6/+5.
Symptom 9 - Feeling suspecious or out of touch with reality. This is defined as "People with BPD often struggle with paranoia or suspicious thoughts about others’ motives." And now watch her relationship with Saul. She always thinks Saul is out to get her or to sell out the clan (Biotechnica). For me that is +7.
Now what's the count? +7 while you might be +5. Either case she qualifies and hit the mark.
So her very first thought when you call her to say good-bye is that you're dumping her. Sorry there goes this point. Plus you already said she does have the first symptom.
As for her relationship with Saul, and "Feeling suspicious or out of touch with reality", he is literally trying to sell the clan out to Biotechnica hahaha, he literally says that to you and to everyone else. So she's not out of touch with reality in regards to that at all, she is never afraid Saul is gonna harm her either, just that he doesn't want her around. Which I think is fair considering how much they argue about the state and politics of the clan. That changes as soon as we kidnap Hellman though, as she finds out from Mitch that Saul sent the Aldecaldo's in to save her, someone with BPD would either just flat out refuse to believe this was the case at all, or believe there was some deeper plot/ulterior motive behind this action.
An example of someone struggling with paranoia or suspicions that are out of touch with reality in that situation would play out something like: "Saul only sent the Aldecaldo's in to help me to get even more of them killed so he could pin the blame on me and force me out of the family forever, so he could finally justify selling us out to Biotechnica". That's completely out of touch with reality and sounds ridiculous, because it is lol, but that's the point behind that symptom being in the diagnosis and why it's a problem overall. When in a relationship with someone who thinks like that, there's absolutely no way to reason with them, because they have already made up their own mind based on events/motives that happened in their imagination even when there's no proof.
As for the call, we know she's impulsive and has a short fuse, so when you call her after having rejected her at camp, saying you can't/don't want to live with her and the nomads and say "I don't know if we're gonna see each other again" she takes it the wrong way, and gets mad. However you instantly explain that's not what you meant, and then she instantly offers to help you with whatever you need even if it means risking her own life because, in her own words "she's there for you".
I would personally give her 3 out of 9 on that list, you could say 4 but like I said, I don't think her relationships are all that unstable outside of her relationship with Saul. She has a short temper so she gets mad at Mitch one time for 5 seconds, but their relationship overall is very stable, they are always super close. Even with Saul, although they don't see eye to eye, they both make it very clear to one another that they love each other regardless and will literally put their lives on the line for each other.
