The subject perceives something that contradicts their self-image or their view of a close person, often interpreting it as a slight an attempt to isolate or abandon them or even as unwanted attraction. Psychoanalytic theories suggest that idealization and devaluation lead to polarized views of both oneself and others.

Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often interpret social acceptance as subterfuge or deception. They are less sensitive to verbal irony, misunderstanding the intended meaning due to a negative bias in interpreting ambiguous information. They may also fear abandonment if they trust those around them.

When faced with such discomfort, the subject challenges their self-perception. They then create a narrative to externalize this discomfort, attributing it entirely to another person (e.g., "My partner loves someone else" / "The friend who made the plan is turning everyone against me" / "I'm attracted to my brother-in-law because he is in love with me").
