Well.. Pearl almost got Steven killed in Rose's Scabbard because she had no idea if Rose was even part of Steven and was grieving over Rose at the time. And gems being the often cold species, a gem that was shattered and broken (Not literally) would most likely use anger or betrayl to take out there sadness. All gems are flawed, which is something every gem has in the show and even Steven is flawed. Rose Quartz was even greatly flawed in the ways of communication and understanding of other species other than just caring for them. And Pearl shoots Steven a look that clearly means she is very unstable once a long-term relationship she was in has been broken. Imagine how you'd feel if you've known your bestest friend for thousands of years and began to develop romantic feelings for them but then they begin to love someone else but you still care for them, then they have a child with that other person but also sacrificed there self just because they had a relationship with that other person and you but also wanted them to experience it. It's like they completely forgot about you, so she's kind of mad at Steven for it considering he's part Rose. And it's clear that Pearl is slowly having her sadness feed away at her sanity, and there are huge clues that this is happening. Here are the clues:

1. Her in Rose's Scabbard, the look she gives Steven clearly reads that she's going crazy because her sanity is slowly fading.

2. Her actions near the episode Jailbreak are another clue. She began to very slowly loose her way to act rationally around everyone, especially when she was working on that machine to shut down Peridot's robanoids. Pearl's expressions began to exaggerate in crazy ways, and in the episode with the guitar dad t-shirts Pearl begins to theorize complete crazy things.

3. Pearl's dream is one of the biggest clues so far. She's riding on Rose on the ocean on pizza, PIZZA? I'm pretty sure Pearl in the beginning of Steven Universe had enough sanity to not dream about pizza! Otherwise it's just relating to her fascination for the process of pie, because pie and pizza are pretty similar. But she says, "Forget about Greg!" That clearly states she's lost more of herself. Especially because Rose's face turns into Greg's kind of like resulting in a fusion-like thing. Which is only a gem thing, and in Garnet's point of view. Long-term fusion stands for a gem relationship and Pearl said in We Need to Talk, "Fusion is the ultimate connection between gems!" This states that she's clearly lost.

So.. Yeah. This is why Pearl is losing herself.
