Walking away from new friend with potential BPD

Hey guys, this is just as the title says. I met a new friend and we were having some amazing conversation. Eventually, we ended up talking about psychiatry. I said to her that I understand how diagnoses are really tricky, but I still do not want anyone with BPD near me (based on horrible experiences I have had with BPD relationships.) she told me she has a potential BPD diagnosis, and she is talking with her doctor about it. Here’s what I said in response:

“Ah, gotcha. Have had some really negative experiences with people with bpd. It was really lovely talking to you and I truly do wish you all the best, [NAME].”

Was I being a dick to end the new friendship after finding that out? I feel very self-protective when it comes to people with bpd and can’t risk derailing my life for someone who falls into the criteria.

Would love to know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!
