Blurring the boundaries of borderline personality disorder

Many ‘lines’ have been drawn on this personality disorder and whether or not it should be considered a personality disorder. Some would argue that the characteristics associated with this disorder are conditioned on the person through external stimuli and thus a personality disorder. However, others would use the same argument to suggest that it is not because the characteristics are already embedded in the individual and influenced by an outside influence.

What does ‘Limit’ mean?

Limit refers to the condition of being neither here nor there (personally) in any subject or thing. The individual will place that responsibility on those with whom he associates instead. Such individuals lack self-empowerment, so they seek to obtain it through others.

Another reason has to do with a person with B.row to order Ppersonality Disorder (BPD) will also tend to be bland when it comes to violence. Which means that a person with BPD will resort to violence if others get involved first or show signs that he will win favor with others in some way. However, normally he may not even be a violent or even aggressive person – this is what ‘Borderline’ means and refers to.

Internal aspects of borderline personality disorder

A person with BPD or emotionally unstable personality disorder relies solely on the influence of their peers. Above all others, those with this particular condition are more prone to peer pressure and are easily manipulated by peer influence.

I can provide several examples of why I believe it is driven by an individual’s need to feed off of acceptance. For one thing, everything they do is completely based on that fact. This is why they tend to resemble sociopathy, psychopathy, antisocial personality disorder, and even manic depression. They will quickly convert to whatever is perceived as the “acceptable norm.”

Holding true even if such things are in direct violation of personal beliefs, moral codes, and the law. To put it bluntly, they will commit any act, absorb any idea, or emotionally connect with whatever is hot at the time. For example, if they see something on TV or in a movie that seems like something that will gain popularity, they will seek it out (even if it is dangerous to themselves or others). Such external influences can come from virtually any source (people, movies, TV shows, video games, etc.). Therefore, the only responsibility and fault lies with the individual and not with the source (as some would like to argue).

Personally, I think we all naturally gravitate towards a connection with other selves. But someone with BPD experiences a much stronger attraction to that connection and perverts it into an impulsive need. Thus rationalizing (subconsciously) that their very livelihood depends on it. Basically someone with BPD is an inverted narcissist.

Instead of everything revolving around oneself, a person with BPD turns their self-importance on those they associate with. Thus leaching the energy emitted by such associations. This is what I meant when I talked about “Borrowed Force” in previous articles. The attitude and willingness to readily accept anything in order to fit in with what is perceived to be the most or most powerful. Even if they rationally know that it is irrational, harmful and/or dangerous.

Signs of Borderline Personality Disorder

A) Relevant Presence of a “Void”–The basic reason someone with BPD needs to be accepted is because of the huge void they are trying to fill within themselves. Because you trust and feed this emptiness, it continues to consume your mental and emotional energy. Leave almost nothing for yourself. So that is why they resort to filing in the company, acceptance and association of third parties. People often describe it as an “Empty” feeling or sensation. Remember that this sign is the central reason for all the others that follow.

B) Extreme fluctuation in relationships–As said before, they will often easily adopt any influential ideology, methodology and manipulation of others. It does not matter how strange, irrational or extreme these things are in nature. This is why you may notice that someone with BPD jumps from one type of person, group, or idea to another. Even if this includes a complete contrast or a dramatic difference.

C) Impulsive–As clearly stated, this type of individual will seize any opportunity to feed that void using the prescribed methods. Which can be expressed in all areas of your lives. Some of which are benign or more bothersome than anything else. However, they do possess some dangerous impulses. These include financial waste, careless sexual encounters, high-volume food and substance use and intake, and even vehicular and pedestrian navigation.

D) Loss of sense of self–Because they freely and impulsively turn to others, the ideas and emotional states of others eventually lose sight of them. whose they are. Resulting in loss of identity. Such a feeling experienced in the magnitude of what they do is like knowing that you are going to die and you are not sure what will happen next. Such terror is the way they perceive the result of their own devices. However, they feel powerless and don’t know how to fix it.

E) Emotional Instability–Because they have been letting others tell them how they should think, feel, and act, they lose the confidence to experience any emotion produced by themselves. This turns into something terrifying. Just like some people get scared when they fall silent with only their own thoughts to entertain themselves.

Usually, when you feel this way, you react in many different ways. Many of which are very similar to what you would expect from someone who is scared, irritated, frustrated, and angry. They can become dramatically episodic, restless, experience heightened anxiety, and act aggressively. The duration of such episodes will vary from moments, minutes, hours to rare days (which is why it is often confused with manic depression or post-traumatic stress disorder).

F) Intense anger–In general, when one becomes emotionally confused, we often tend to respond by lashing out in anger. However, someone with BPD’s level of anger is magnified in many ways. 1) it is either justified and therefore they have no need to regulate it, 2) they may become confused because they are forced to display emotions and ideas that are unique to them, so they will respond with inappropriate anger, or 3) they may they just simply have trouble controlling that anger in general. It is usually expressed by frequent or recurring displays, appearing to be constantly angry, or frequently engaging in altercations.

G) Paranoia–The paranoia experienced by a person with BPD is based on being accepted by others. So, their main fear is that of being alienated, exiled and isolated (or feeling as such). Paranoia comes with the self-generated belief that it is waiting around every corner. Clearly, they constantly worry about what others think of them. The constant stress of this state of existence is quite exhausting and draining. This is why they feel the need to hold on to the strength of others (so they can ‘survive’).

H) Abandonment issues–People with BPD will often go to great lengths to avoid feeling abandoned. Sometimes such abandonment is real, sometimes fabricated, and sometimes self-manifested. (Keeping in mind that your very existence depends on feeling accepted.) Imagine how they would feel if they were abandoned or felt that they were. These are some of those people who seem to stay in abusive relationships or live in harmful situations. Even if they are in other, healthier relationships, they may remain loyal (up to a point) to that unhealthy relationship.

I) Suicide– Most people with BPD when abandoned or feel abandoned will resort to suicide to manipulate. This is usually an empty threat or deliberate failed attempts, a last ditch effort. It serves for those who abandoned them to reconnect and take care of their needs. Sometimes this takes the form of self-mutilation and self-torture. But then there are those who fall so deeply into their own created emptiness that they feel there is no way out but death.

Conclution

The hope of writing these articles is to guide you in becoming aware of the repeating pattern within borderline personality disorder (and any other). It’s all based solely on feeding your need to fill your void with acceptance. That is why their peers impulsively influence them. And such influence can come from any source and in any form. It doesn’t matter, as long as it provides them with the fuel they need to thrive, they don’t care.
