Previous research has shown that cutting a large number of people out of one's life takes a toll in many ways.

According to Psychology Today:

One of the major disorders of personality, attributed to problems during development, is borderline personality, (BPD) characterized by a tendency to quickly and often unpredictably oscillate between love and hate for others, subpar emotional regulation, and consistent problems in interpersonal relationships (see Carlson et al., 2009).

Further, in a recent study (Sung et al., 2021), the author's hypothesis suggests “If impulsivity, borderline tendencies, risk-taking, and fast life history strategy were all present in an individual's personality, then this would lead to a higher number of estrangements in that individual’s life” . Findings suggest “The more borderline tendencies someone had, the more estrangements he or she had in life”.

•  What the impacts are when you estrange yourself from most of your social contacts
• Studies suggest BPD (borderline personality disorder), is a predicting factor  

Reserch published over the last 20 years are reviewed in the article “ The Role of Trauma in Early OnsetBorderline Personality Disorder” (Bozzatello et al., 2021) outlining the relationship role of childhood trauma and BPD.
