"You have no idea what I'm capable of" (woman, calling)

[Aldous9]

When you break up with a girl and she says (among other things) that, "You have no idea what i'm capable of" should I be worried or is this just over the top break-up hyperbole?

Well, I don't know her, but in an emotional context such as a break up I'd be willing to bet it's over the top hyperbole.

Sounds like someone really angry and hurt who isn't handling the lack of control she feels very well.

I'd give her some space and go no contact.

Probably over-the-top hyperbole. But still, it'd be wise not to risk finding out by steering clear of her--permanently.

Um, good thing you broke up with her?

Just drop contact with her. She's either got some growing up to do or some meds to take.

Maybe she plans to start her own paper company?

Run!

And we've only been going out for less than 2 months. I was kind of shocked because there weren't really any signs. She was completely normal. It just didn't feel right to me and I didn't want to get 6 months in and then dig a deeper hole. But, wow , she went mental, calling me a liar, saying that all men lie and she thought i was different etc.

Nothing to worry with unless she actually starts toward you with a running chain saw.
Humans say things when they are upset and it sounds like she really did not handle the break up well.

Unless she calls the cops and claims you raped her or beat her up. I've seen instances where a woman bangs her head on the wall, scratches herself up with keys and other assorted self induced injuries. Next thing you know...you are sitting in jail and trying to defend yourself. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
