I have serious question here. Does "woke" really mean, or does it represent the adoption of, the characteristics of, borderline personality disorder? Not all manifestations of this issue are expressed in self harm or extremes of instability.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, manifestation may include things like intense fear of abandonment, a pattern of unstable intense relationships, rapid changes in self-identity and self-image that include shifting goals and values, and seeing yourself as bad or as if you don't exist at all, Impulsive and risky behavior, wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days, which can include intense happiness, irritability, shame or anxiety, ongoing feelings of emptiness, inappropriate, and intense anger.

Another way to look at it is to see "wokeness" as a means of creating a firm structure which holds off the other, more unpleasant, manifestation of borderline personality. The idea of "wokeness" itself, meaning the idea of possessing an advanced consciousness compared to other people who are living the same daily life you are, can be by itself a manifestation of borderline personality. Or of sociopathy. In my opinion, of course.

I think it has more to do with mindless conformism, status seeking and virtue signalling.

You may think that. I think it does have to do with borderline personality often enough.

The majority of young women today ie those who are still fertile, are demonstrably BPD. Sixty percent of them actively use various psychotropic drugs, Prozac being only one of many. I would conjecture this same cohort is highly susceptible to the Woke meme. It's not a big step from declaring that 'all men are rapists' to 'all Western Civilization is oppressive'.

I have seen other sources as regards this issue and the modern female in the West. According to one of these sources, being or have the appearance of being highly sexual is one manifestation of borderline personality. Another is the ability to almost instantaneously form seemingly intense and close relationships which can be just a quickly abandoned. This kind of relationship formation is widely depicted in the cinema.

People other than young women can and do suffer from borderline personality but with the lack social control and the toleration and acceptance of flighty and petulant behavior, even the treatment of it as endearing, within this group, these traits can be allowed to develop.
