ORIGINAL: Kirata quote:
ORIGINAL: HatesParisHilton if you'd ever dated a clinically diagnosed Borderline Character Disordered woman than you would not have to ask that. FYI: The term "character disorder" is deprecated. NIMH returns no matches for "borderline character disorder" or even for "character disorders" generally. Borderline Personality Disorder People with BPD often have highly unstable patterns of social relationships. While they can develop intense but stormy attachments, their attitudes towards family, friends, and loved ones may suddenly shift from idealization (great admiration and love) to devaluation (intense anger and dislike). Thus, they may form an immediate attachment and idealize the other person, but when a slight separation or conflict occurs, they switch unexpectedly to the other extreme and angrily accuse the other person of not caring for them at all. Even with family members, individuals with BPD are highly sensitive to rejection, reacting with anger and distress to such mild separations as a vacation, a business trip, or a sudden change in plans. These fears of abandonment seem to be related to difficulties feeling emotionally connected to important persons when they are physically absent, leaving the individual with BPD feeling lost and perhaps worthless. Suicide threats and attempts may occur along with anger at perceived abandonment and disappointments. K. Also, if I'm going to stick my own neck out here, I'd note that Paris Hilton doesn't display Borderline tendencies nearly as often as I see her display Narcissistic tendencies. But that just might be hyper-sensitivity to the Narcissistic spectrum on my part.
