Wondering if anyone thought that Holly Hunter's character exhibited strong tendencies of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?

People with Borderline Personality Disorder also have a very weak sense of self. Say what you want about Jane, she knew exactly who she was and what she believed in.

She was both.

She was strong in her work, but weak when it came to social interaction. Like many, she was focused on her weak points not her strong points... and Tom had confidence... so she was drawn to his strength, even though he represented everything she hated.
