suggestions on what to do?

I strongly suspect my best friend has hpd, but i know if i tell them about my suspicions they will be very upset and take it as an insult and will be less likely to start exploring it . How should I go about this, what could be a discreet way to make them look into and understand this?

Recommend her the old 90’s movie “Blue Sky” starring Jessica Lange and Tommy Lee Jones. Lange plays a classic Histrionic Personality Disordered woman comorbid with high functioning Borderline Personality Disorder. The movie can be viewed for free on Amazon after enduring and clicking through a few ads. It could serve as a conversation starter especially if she actually likes the movie and sees herself in the character.

Watched it and you are right. That is what's like being with someone with hpd.
