Cluster B personality disorders?

Dude I dated a chick with borderline personality disorder and she ate my soul

r_c2999 · 2023-12-28T14:22:22+00:00

Everyone, boys and girls needs to taught how to spot and avoid those with cluster b disorders they are no good

BPD has been viewed by clinicians as a female-specific disorder

Which is probably the reason for the backlash when calling out abusers with BPD. The conversation becomes about 'stigma' and how they're really the victims. You never see this happen with other cluster B disorders.

JeffyFan10 · 2023-12-28T12:08:59+00:00

Since the introduction of personality disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1980's, BPD has been viewed by clinicians as a female-specific disorder [5]. The DSM-5, for example, indicated that approximately 75% of individuals diagnosed with BPD are females [1].

Unfortunately, yes. I am all too familiar with cluster B personality disorders. Primarily PBD and the behaviour I endured, as well.

Yamariv1 · 2023-12-28T14:43:42+00:00

Yes, where have you been OP!!?? Lol.

Unfortunately, I dated a chick with Borderline Personality Disorder and it still affects my view on relationships to this day. It was horrible, ups downs, making me feel like the crazy one at times. All I look for now in a woman is peace.. I'm still looking lol!

Yes, people should be taught the signs to look for. I didn't understand BPD very well at the time, I now friggen do and can spot it a mile a way!

Just so we’re all aware here some of the worse the planet has to offer has been diagnosed with cluster b personality disorders. This includes serial killers, serial rapist, etc.

I was diagnosed with BPD earlier this year, and it has offered me so much internal insight. I’ve noticed that culturally, because the way we treat women and value their emotions, it seems their unhealthy behaviors and symptoms associated with BPD are more likely to be validated and made worse. If I feel emotionally over-reactive, as a man, society is not there to coddle my feelings and emotions. I am then likely to be made to feel less than or un-masculine. I feel like I developed BPD due to how people mistreated me when I may have felt healthy emotions. The therapies associated with BPD, namely DBT, focus on recognizing our emotions and how to redirect them. But as a man, I’ve never really had the opportunity to recognize as lot of my emotions as anything but bad.

r_c2999 · 2023-12-28T15:54:35+00:00

For all the homies that got clipped by a chick with bpd.

These two videos above helped me realize I’m not crazy

Also here’s some research I pulled together.

it's not rare at all 75% of the people diagnosed are female.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9762-borderline-personality-disorder-bpd

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a disorder of emotion regulation, with 5.9% of the population displaying a characteristic at some point in their life (lifetime prevalence) and accounting for 20% of the psychiatric inpatient population.

https://www.mhanational.org/conditions/borderline-personality-disorder

1.6% of the America public has it (this doesn't account for undiagnosed)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430883/

so that means 5,648,000 people have it 4,236,000 of which are women (again not accounting for those who’re undiagnosed) so don’t think you’re crazy if you start seeing a lot of chicks that have the same symptoms as her

While 1.6% is the recorded percentage of people with BPD, the actual prevalence may be even higher. In a recent study, over 40% of people with BPD had been previously misdiagnosed with other disorders like bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022395609002118

there’s also a correlation between bpd and ipv. A meta-analysis of 207 studies found a correlation between borderline personality disorder and intimate partner violence.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-science-mental-health/202110/borderline-personality-disorder-and-relationship-violence

Studies have found 40% of those with BPD may also have narcissistic personality disorder.

https://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/prevalence-correlates-disability-comorbidity-dsm-iv-borderline-personality-disorder-wave-2-nesarc/

A study done by Oxford Academic found that between 50% - 90% of people with BPD hear voices that other people do not hear.

Heal up boys and avoid these demons. I wish you well.

TeddyMGTOW · 2023-12-28T16:30:40+00:00

Yes, the average guy will encounter one, that's par for the coarse. If you date or marry (yikes) more then one you may be a co dependant.

dependency_injector · 2023-12-28T17:42:46+00:00

I know about BPD symptoms more than I ever wanted

AccomplishedMovie804 · 2023-12-28T23:29:43+00:00

Oh yes. I married a Narcissist and a Sociopath. Let me tell you: YOU DO NOT WANT THAT! I have never met a better liar then that Sociopath. She traumatized me and I am still dealing with it. These people are HORRIBLE!

Cuntplainer · 2023-12-29T20:26:28+00:00

21.8% of women have CLUSTER B PERSONALITY DISORDER

Beautiful_Diamond980 · 2023-12-28T15:28:16+00:00

You'd think they'd teach health in school

AwesomeBro_exe · 2023-12-28T17:40:54+00:00

Have been for a while. Mainly because I may suffer from this category of disorder.

HyakuBikki · 2023-12-28T21:21:11+00:00

I used to be depressed about not being in a relationship until I met a chick with BPD. Never again man, they're master's at manipulation and playing the victim.

2023-12-29T19:48:28+00:00

It's entirely possible to recover from personality disorders, and the fact that the majority of people with them have so after going through severe trauma themselves yet are being demonised and labelled as being "monsters", "evil" and whatever else has been said here is incredibly harmful.

A lot of people with BPD are hyper sympathetic and all of their symptoms can be towards themself only, including abusing themselves, self harm and their unstable emotions also being taken out on themselves. Not every single person with BPD displays the same symptoms, including manipulation or conniving behaviour. It's not always directed onto other people.

Some people here met and have awful experiences with women who had BPD who abused them - that doesn't make every single person in the world with BPD abusive nor the same. People with BPD are not insane, are very well aware of themselves and have to take responsibility for their actions regardless of if they can or cannot control their emotions by seeking the correct treatment and therapy - it's no excuse to traumatise others. Severity of delusional thoughts and behaviour range differently in each person who has it.

If you don't want to be demonised or generalised, don't do it to others based on things entirely out of their control.

Feminists justify hatred for all men due to personal experiences with a few bad ones. The same is being done here, but to people with disorders.

If you're a kind or ethical person who wants to be treated with kindness and the same respect, you judge people individually based on their individual behaviour and not as groups or based on others behaviour.

When I come across rare cruel and warped posts like this it makes me second guess what I am supporting.

duhhhh · 2023-12-28T12:50:02+00:00

I think an overview of them should be taught in sex ed. But that will never happen.

https://outofthefog.website/ is a must read for teenagers starting to date.

I was diagnosed with EUPD (otherwise known as BPD) a few month back in the summer after suffering in silence since I was fourteen years old (self harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, crippling body dysmorphia, age regression due to trauma etc).

Treating people like shit or being a cunt is not a symptom of BPD. Yes, undiagnosed mental illness or untreated mental illness can make you act out at times but when you are going around, treating people like shit and using mental illness as an excuse, that person is just being a cunt and not taking responsibility for it.

A common symptom of EUPD is actually being hyper sympathetic, not casually abusing men or those around you.

Please do not (not saying you are) demonise or generalise those with personality disorders. Those being described here often seem to actually have and meet the requirements of antisocial personality disorder, not BPD.

I don't treat people like shit, and often, feel like the worst person in the world and constantly punish myself for it. I treat those around me with kindness and respect.

I come here to support men, and don't want to be called a "borderline" or a "crazy chick". I don't generalise men due to the bad few, please do not generalise me.

2023-12-30T15:37:29+00:00

Saying that most serial killers or rapists have personality disorders (like one cunt here did) and therefor, everyone should demonise everybody with one is like a woman saying that most rapists and serial killers are men and therefor, nobody should associate with one.

Generalisations are never justified. Stereotypes are never justified. Demonising whole groups of human beings are never justified because there is always good where there is bad and it will always end in so many people being hurt and traumatised.

When I fight for men, I'm certainly not fighting for you - People who are so harmful that they are spreading false narrations and fake information about people with disorders and mental illness just because they had a bad experience with one of them.

The amount of people with BPD who were diagnosed after going through a lifetime of severe trauma and who only hurt themselves because the whole point in it is that they cannot process feelings and emotions like everyone else can. It isn't a requirement to be diagnosed with BPD that you are a horrible person and go around casually manipulating and abusing people to get your own way. Only some people with BPD are like that - some.

This is the equivalent of one man is a rapist, so all of them must be too. Or "I met a man and he sucked my soul dry, he ruined my life and he was abusive - avoid them all!"

The gross hypocrisy, doubt standards and the plain cruelty of encouraging the demonisation of a whole group of human (those with various mental illnesses and disorders).

Be kinder. Be better. Be less black and white. Be ethical. Be more human.

Especially, if you expect it in return.

It's a poor way of catorgizing something much different. Feel free to message me if you'd like me to explain
