People with BPD may feel overwhelming grief one moment and then display anger and aggression the next, reflecting their impulsivity and intense desire for others' approval.
Why do individuals with BPD often experience unstable relationships?

How does Schizotypal Personality Disorder differ from Schizoid Personality Disorder in terms of social behavior?
-While both disorders involve social isolation, Schizotypal Personality Disorder is marked by erratic and antisocial behaviors, odd beliefs, and a tendency to view oneself as possessing otherworldly powers.

easy to identify someone who suffers
from narciss narcissistic personality
disorder most visibly you'll find that
they tend to exaggerate their
achievements often taking over the
conversation and making sure they Remain
the topic of Interest there's a reason
for this however psychiatrists have
determined that a person suffering from

standards this disorder causes people
who suffer from it to be very shy
introverted and show genuine fear when
they're in a social Gathering and have
to deal with a lot of people at the same
time people suffering from avpd are hyp
sensitive to negative reactions and they
typically only hang out with people that
they trust and know for sure like them
this fear of being criticized and
ridiculed completely takes over their
mind it's all that they can think about
since they're always afraid of negative
reactions they tend to isolate
themselves in many situations they manag
to convince themselves through their own
self-loathing that they're not good
enough even in scenarios they obviously
excel in for children this disorder
usually manifests as students who are
terrified of partaking in class
activities because they're almost
certain they'll do or say the wrong
things a lot of their own selfworth if
not all of it is based on how others
view them obsessive compulsive
personality disorder ocpd has been
talked about a lot yet it's often poorly
understood people suffering from ocpd
have an incessant need to control
everything around them and that's
because they believe that there are
special rules in place for everything
and everyone who is around them must
adhere their rules are often completely
made up and it's impossible to get them
to understand that the rules they
believe so strongly in aren't real or
necessary that's because people
suffering from ocpd believe that anyone
who breaks these rules is actually
trying to harm them if their rules are
broken they will start to display
erratic emotions often disruptive
behavior and uncontrollable aggression
because they believe that the broken
rules will now in some way haunt them
forever people who suffer from this
disorder are inflexible and they are
dead set in their ways sustaining
long-term relationships is incredibly
difficult for them because people
unfortunately view them as odd because
of their Indescribable way of living
they are also typically bad at
decision-making a skill that is
especially necessary in managing any
friendship or relationship dependent
personality disorder if you suffer from
dependent personality disorder the worst
thing in the world that can happen to
you is simply sitting alone with your
thoughts even if it's only for just a
minute dpd causes extremely submissive
behavior clinginess and borderline
obsession with whoever the person has
latched themselves on to people
suffering from this disorder rarely if
ever initiate activities or
conversations themselves instead they
feel much more comfortable when someone
else is leading the way this lack of
self-confidence in their own
decision-making can have severe negative
effects mainly people suffering from dpd
will be targeted for their overly
submissive behavior and often mistreated
by the people they've developed and
unhealthy obs ession with because they
are unable to make decisions for
themselves putting a stop to their abuse
by themselves is extremely difficult
paranoid personality disorder just like
those who suffer from SPD people who
suffer with paranoid personality
disorder tend to isolate themselves from
the rest of the world however they have
a more specific reason for this if you
take a peek into their lives what you'll
quickly notice is that they are
extremely methodological meaning that
they have a method for everything that
they do throughout the day and it's not
always clear why they do things a
certain way their paranoia and
hypervigilance is definitely no joke it
doesn't matter how long you've known
someone with PPD they will always treat
you as if you have an ulterior motive
against them and want to put them in
some sort of Harm's Way if you simply
assure them that there is nothing to
worry about that's not going to work as
it will only make them become
argumentative and in some cases even
aggressive as they Retreat further back
into their paranoia all of this ties in
with their delusions and the thoughts
that they've crafted inside of their
mind people with paranoid personality
disorder are all perfectionists they
believe that everyone is out to get them
and that they can only stop themselves
from feeling this way if they have
complete control of their lives hence
their perfectionism antisocial
personality disorder before we talk
about the intricacies of aspd we have to
understand specifically what it means to
be social to put it very simply being
social requires you to have a basic
level of respect for the people around
you a regard for social construct and an
understanding of how to conduct yourself
in a specific social setting even if the
people around you are total strangers
people with aspd however have a lack of
disregard for others often they go as
far as violating other people's rights
this could manifest itself in several
different ways such as a lack of empathy
or compulsion towards being manipulative
for example someone with aspd might
completely disregard your feelings
toward a certain situation like if your
family member died for instance while
you would grieve in front of them they
might super superimpose their own
feelings and emotions demanding that
they be heard instead due to their lack
of basic understanding of social
etiquette they also display aggression
in some cases along with a lack of
remorse however none of these traits are
outwardly that's because people with
aspd typically have very good charm and
Charisma based on an initial interaction
you might have had with someone
suffering from aspd it would usually be
very hard to tell that they are
suffering from a personality disorder
histrionic personality disorder people
suffering from HPD need approval to go
about their day their entire day
including everything they do and say
revolves around acknowledgement and
appreciation from others these people
tend to lash out whenever their position
in a social setting is threatened
another common trait for those suffering
with HPD is their excessive emotions and
emotional instability on a much deeper
level people suffering from HPD are
heavily reliant on the approval of
others which strongly deters their
decision-making capabil ities since they
believe Universal validation is
necessary for their survival they'll
often make impulsive and detrimental
decisions as long as it results in them
receiving positive attention in the end
and just as much as they love positive
attention they also absolutely hate and
despise criticism and any form of
negative attention
