Men With Borderline Personality Disorder Show Common Behaviors Loved Ones Will Recognize

By George Sullivan


There are all kinds of people in the world, and they all have personalities. Some people are more difficult than others. It can be a mental health issue or just a tendency to be thoughtless and self-serving. People with mental disorders don't always process their thoughts in healthy ways. If you have a loved one who craves approval for himself, but has no empathy for others and won't take responsibility for his own actions, he may fall into the category of men with borderline personality disorder, BPD.

Some people with mental health disorders function at a very high level. They don't exhibit signs of their issues to the casual observer. There are others who obviously struggle in such a way that most people readily notice it. Men with BPD are no different. If you really want to understand your partner, you have to be aware of the signs that indicate BPD.

One the symptoms of this disease is low self-esteem. You may have noticed this person craving your approval and constant attention. He might try and copy the behavior of the people he surrounds himself with. He does this because he doesn't trust himself. Even though he doesn't act like it, your partner is probably feeling inferior to everybody else. Rather than think for himself, he will do and say things that he believes other people will admire him for.

Individuals who have BPD lack empathy. They have trouble seeing and caring about the wants and needs of others. BPD sufferers don't understand how their behavior impacts those around them. There is not a fully developed sense of awareness in them. It should not be surprising that relationships are difficult for them to maintain.

Many BPD sufferers repeatedly fall into negative and destructive relationships. Physical and mental abuse is not unusual. Borderlines can be needy and mistrusting to an excessive degree. They may swing from overly close to completely distant and uninvolved. It's not only romantic partners that experience this phenomenon. Friends and family are the victims of it too.

BPD can make people feel intensely anxious, even to the point of panic. Everybody worries and gets anxious about things on occasion, but BPD sufferers carry it to the extreme. They can be hypersensitive to how other people act toward them. These individuals want so badly to be accepted, when they feel threatened, they may lash out in inappropriate ways.

BPD sufferers are terrified of being abandoned or left alone. This can lead them to become intensely jealous and paranoid. They sometimes accuse partners of behavior that has no rational basis. It's not unusual for them to stalk a partner or monitor their comings and goings. Those suffering from BPD may threaten to kill themselves if the partner doesn't comply with their irrational demands.

You can expect mood swings and uncontrollable anger with this disease. Your partner may blame you for his shortcomings. The disease can make him impulsive and vulnerable to choosing risky behaviors. BPD sufferers are at serious risk for suicide.
