The 10 Personality Disorders (with Examples) 

I wish people would stop thinking that self diagnosing themselves with serious disorders are fun🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙄

I would like to point out as someone diagnosed with borderline personality disorder that not every person with this diagnosis is aggressive. There is a branch known as "quiet borderline" (like mine) doesnt is implosive and not explosive.

I was diagnosed with BPD 20 years ago as a teenage. Spent my whole life fighting BPD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

As someone diagnosed with BPD, it’s more than just mood swings. you constantly overthink, always assume people are judging you, you jump to conclusions waaay to fast, if someone’s tone SLIGHTLY changes it makes you switch moods instantly but once you know they’re fine you feel immense guilt and go back to laughing it off. I’ll have guilt for the rest of my life for the way I’ve always treated my parents. I throw meltdowns nearly daily over the tiniest of tiny things, my dads even given me the nickname “5 year old” because I whine and act like a toddler who couldn’t get a toy over very small things. It’s hard to keep relationships because you lack trust in everyone, and once you find someone you get codependent and obsessed with them but once you’re finally with them you second guess yourself and try to gaslight yourself into thinking you don’t have feelings for them. everyone thinks you’re entitled and or lazy, and everyone just assumes you’re a bad person or a Karen. STOP WANTING THIS SHIT ITS NOT CUTE

BPD is usually misinterpreted. This video is another classic case of that. It’s has a lot to do with problems of emotional regulation and your self identity, not so much aggressiveness or risky behavior but the emotional experience is what fuels things like that, so not everyone with it will have those traits.

I find the schizotypal personality disorder the most difficult to wrap my head around. At what point do strange beliefs become a disorder? Once they are compulsive? Many geniuses would then fall into that category.

Idk bout yall but i always asume everything i say can be used against me

Just remember that even though stereotypes about personality disorders may make them seem scary, most of the time people with pds are not dangerous or scary or bad people. They deserve your kindness above all.

Hey, diagnosed Schizoid here. I just want to give my two cents. For one, thank you for not just flat out saying we're totally incapable of having friends or meaningful relationships. People often act like we're not able to form any kind of bond, when we are. I, for example, have a nice romantic relationship and friends who I'd fight for. It's just that I don't feel motivated to make new friends and I simply don't attach to a vast majority of people who talk to me. I don't generally want to go make friends with people, and I spend a lot of my time alone, which I'm content with. A lot of our behavior stems from our emotional detachment. The disorder as a whole is largely based in apathy and being emotionally detached. Now, as for my experience, I don't really feel a "need" to treat my SPD. It's as you said in the video, I'm honestly fine with myself the way I am. It does hamper some of my abilities to understand other people, but overall I don't mind it. My SPD was most likely caused by severe parental abuse (verbal and physical) I went through during some of my childhood and throughout my teens, as I can trace a lot of my Schizoid-related tendencies back to it. For example, I was punished for showing emotion, so I learned to not show it, and over time it lead to me simply not feeling it as one normally would. I almost always feel like an outsider looking in when it comes to society, as though there's a thick glass wall between me and them. A glass wall through which I can see and hear them, but simply can't get close or make contact. There are a number of other traits we exhibit which you didn't mention (understandably so since this is kind of a rapid-fire video), but you got the main point of what SPD is across well, and I appreciate your unbiased yet empathetic outlook on all of these disorders. A lot of people are quick to jump to conclusions that are incorrect. .. Not sure that a 50 Shades of Gray character is the best thing to compare us to though, haha. Honestly, I think comparing fictional characters to personality disorders as a whole isn't a very good idea, since it can give people false pretenses about these disorders.

*I wonder how often a personality disorder really causes problems for people and how often it's their environment who don't understand those people and just see them as "weird".*

I'm really glad you differentiated between Bipolar and Borderline. I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar a couple of years ago, and it led to multiple stays in the psych ward because my therapy was about bipolar, and not borderline.

As someone with BPD, it is important to know that this personality disorder often leads to other mental condition such as repetitive depression or anxiety disorders, sometimes even dissociation. Seeking help can really be useful to someone with this condition. Even if you're too young to be diagnosed, just having the help for your tough exeperiences might really help you.

I have an opposing view on Cinderella being the example for dependent personality disorder. She’s actually quite independent and resourceful. Despite being abused and mistreated for years by her step family, she developed many healthy coping mechanisms to escape that hardship and made her own decisions to escape her household where she was basically enslaved. She simply hoped for freedom and grew as a person despite living in a toxic environment. It is true that she does depend on her animal friends, but that does not mean that she is not capable of doing thjngs on her own, as she does everything she can to survive in the hands of her abusive family. She is a survivor that used her resources and created a support group full of those that could help her and she ultimately fought against her family to live her own life.

last year I was diagnosed with schizoid. Honestly I am glad for that. Knowing that you are completely okay with not having any relationship with anyone is really a bliss.

I’m glad that it was acknowledged that people who have personality disorders deserve to be treated with empathy and consideration because a lot of us have been through horrific abuse which caused our disorders to begin with!

Can't speak for the other ones, but having bpd myself: it's so much more than you described

Now let’s talk about the link between Borderline Personality Disorder and Complex PTSD

hey!! as someone who is *actually* diagnosed with schizotypal, i think this video is quite nice where it actually covers personality disorders in a way that isnt boring those watching. i’m happy that you used characters in popular films and real people. thank you for making this video!

I worked for 30 years as a mental health professional. I would love to write a book about bpd and the extreme, dramatic and dangerous behavior patterns i witnessed. This is the hardest disorder to identify and to understand in my opinion.

Who the hell are "Normal People? They exist? " 🤣😂🤣

I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and avoidant personality disorder. BPD is such a complicate disorder, it used to be called emotional intensity disorder, the extreme emotions I was feeling literally gave me a heart attack at the age of 23. With therapy things got better.

It's scary how well the section of the video describing Avoidant Personality Disorder felt relatable to me. for the past few months of highschool I've been nearly 24/7 obsessively thinking about my friends and how I'd want them to appreciate me and shower me with their attention,,, but instead of doing anything and deepening my bond with them I've felt paralyzed by fear of how they might react, or that they don't talk to me now because they get along with each other so well and just see me as a weirdo outsider now who stopped talking to them, even though they still hang around. and observe them talk. Doing anything about this feels so hard and I feel paralyzed, like joining in on their conversations is the most dreadful task and i am simply too awkward to talk to ::_:: I'm already talking to a therapist about this and my other issues, but i still can't muster up any courage for change; don't mind me venting here a little bit, and also thank you for reading til the end

There is such a mix of personality traits within each PD. Like most people believe that narcissistic personality disorder is attached to grandiosity. It's not. My ex husband I never knew he was narcissistic until I went to therapy only to realize that he was covert or vulnerable narcissistic. There are some excellent books out there on personality disorder. One of the first things you feel is you're the narcissist I was the one who believed I was crazy and it was him making me think that for years. 😢

I am diagnosed with DPD. It is very difficult to function at work because of my fear of messing up tasks. If im not given a specific checklist of things to do, i get upset and anxious and even if i have a list i need coworkers to assure me that im doing the tasks correctly. I work at mcd and even though im shy, working at the counter is my favorite position because all i need to do is listen to what the customer wants, and then push some buttons. Its important to me that im told what to do and given instructions, but also constantly reminded of them. Along side this i have anxiety about bothering people and my need for instruction combats my need to not be a burden. All this coupled with the fact i have anxiety about being away from my mom and my home makes working difficult and i kind of wish i could explain this to others so that they understand. Thanks for reading :3

I've been diagnosed with multiple different personality disorders in my life. My ex girlfriends psychiatrist labeled me as borderline when she didn't even meet me in person. Another psychologist diagnosed me as personality disorder not otherwise specified after meeting me for 5 minutes. I used to think I was antisocial and psychopathic because I have a lack of empathy and emotions. But I have finally learned I'm schizophrenic and now I'm on the right medication.

Malignant narcissism and in therapy over 10 years,as child conduct disorder which could be defined as mild aspd, i do feel empathy and love when it comes to certain moments and situations selectivly tho to some people usually only one or two people in my life,but this is stigmatised alot

This was a very informative video. But it also saddens me to think that there are so many disorders out there that get triggered by poor emotional experiences. The world would be such a better place if we could just treat others with the same kindness and patience that we expect for ourselves. I know it is not something that happens overnight, but I wish to slowly work towards building myself into a kinder and more empathetic version of myself.

American psycho was a highly inaccurate version of aspd. A more accurate yet extreme version would be Anton chigurh from no country for old men

As someone with avoidant PD i just want to put out there to what extremes many people who suffer from this PD go in order to avoid certain things/situations/people/..: i would harm myself so badly to avoid going to school for example. Or poison myself in order to not meet up with someone i didnt like but was too scared to tell them. I know people who did far worse things in order to avoid these feelings of anxiety/helplessness/embarrassment/... And still avoidant PD is often seen as a PD thats not "that bad". And that is just stupid

I have ocd. And I’m not just saying that. I was diagnosed when I was 6 because it was so severe (and still is). I would spend my time plucking out my eyelashes, picking at myself, engaging in repetitive and unnecessary behaviors. And it honestly hurts my feelings when people throw the term ocd around so lightly or just think that they have it because they’re organized.

I think I might have avoident personality disorder. I have a constant fear of doing things or even answering questions because I feel like others will judge me so I normally stay silent and try not to be noticed. Just yesterday I broke down to someone saying how I feel like I'm suffocating when I have to interact with others or people have to notice me because I feel as if they are judging me.

It's not unrealistic to have intense paranoia in this time.. with all the smart devices listening to everything and with access to all your photos and camera on your phone and laptops, then with all these things being brought up about politicians that they did YEARS ago, etc... I don't think it's crazy to worry about that only except for the fact that the only way to avoid it is live off the grid and thats practically impossible now.

let us also keep in mind that we shouldn't categorize/label ourselves even if diagnosed with one of these disorders. this is only a small part of us and doesn't encompass the full beauty of our individual personalities. there are great things about each of these personality types. please don't think there's anything wrong with you!

Thank you 🙏🏾 for this. I took the Test. And I found out that I’m really Healthy mentally and emotionally for the first time in my Life. I’ve been in talk therapy for 3 years and it’s paying off. 😊

Mom, grandma, random old lady: omg you're so handsome Me: *thumbnail*

A little anecdote on the nature of genius and psychological disorders: reminds me of a story I read years ago on the late mathematician John Nash of a Beautiful Mind; after the Nobel Laureate in economics had nearly succumbed to his schizophrenia, he found himself in a room with a frustrated colleague pacing about and asking him questions. The colleague asked John: "How could you; a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician of the highest caliber, believe that _aliens_ were sending you signals in magazines??!!?" John: "Because the messages came to me in the same way as my mathematical ideas."

I seem to attract all of them which is why I enjoy my own company. It's far easier and less hassle than dealing with other people's shite all the time.

I get paranoid that people are gossiping about me when I think I’m being talked about behind my back and it is usually negative 😢

i love these windows into soul. As a survivor of a serious stroke at 17 I was never checked up on throughout my life. At 66 now I will write my story both good and bad. Gives me something to do.

I recognise with avoidant personality disorder due to years of bullying, abuse ect i really should get helped and try to get diagnosed after i become an adult or smth

My psychiatrist says I borderline personality disorder because of me being emotionally and physically abused and abandoned and bullied as a child and having low self esteem issues I was also diagnosed with depression and ptsd

I really appreciate this video. I was diagnosed with BPD a little while ago. I sent this to people I'm close to so they can better understand. you put it better than I ever could lol

I greatly appreciate a video explaining how ASPD is a spectrum and not all of us with this diagnosis is a horrible evil person at heart. Most videos I see say that. And most people who find out I’m diagnosed go from being a close to friend to “what do you want out of me. It’s impossible for people like you to have friends”. After going in and out of therapy for a couple years both of my will and not. I found that I’m not a terrible person and I don’t have to act like the monster people think I am. Because who cares if they’ll never see me anything else. I know me and I do have a few close friends which is better than a ton of shitty people I have to become an actor around. For me my problems came about due to adoption trauma and “learning from infancy that the only way to get what you need to survive you have to act out, manipulate, and steal” and “connections and emotions are dangerous because everyone is just going to hurt or leave you eventually”. It’s not easy to unlearn stuff like that. It’s not even a conscious process but something instinctual that I didn’t even know I did until my third therapist.

I love this, I have borderline personality, my hubby has bipolar disorder this was a very accurate explanation in an easy to understand format. I think education on these things is super important to reduce the stigma attached to them. Thank you.

Oh, it's good to hear about NPD, as someone who's diagnosed with it I can say that I kinda hate it but I don't wanna change it at the same time. It's hard to live knowing that I am a narcissist while I don't to be 1 of them. But I started to dealing with it and I just started to ignore *everything* so now I'm not putting anyone in the 1st place. But I still trynna to fight my desire of being a World Leader who can control every president/king/queen or whatever they have from every single country. Being a conscious narcissist is very hard to live like a "normal person"

I got a personality disorder diagnosis, i spoke to the doc for 2 hours and answered about 500 questions on 3 different questionnaires to get a diagnosis. You can't and shouldn't want to self diagnose.

Why am I getting so anxious because of how fast he's talking?

I have been diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder. I have been to treatment and counceling for a year now. It defenently has helped in many ways.😊

Love the content dude. The animations are nice and I love how you add examples for people to learn from real life observations. Keep it up

I love that you talk fast since you're still so easy to understand. Seems like everyone else either have really long intros, talk too slow, repeat themselves, or talk about a bunch of unrelated stuff. I much prefer your style!

I’ve been diagnosed by a psychologist with BPD thank you for educating others on it

I gave up after about 90 seconds. This guy must be on speed

this is very informative and accurate in describing personality disorders without dehumanizing the sufferers of them

Ever since I discovered personality disorders when I was 16 and I suspect I might have Avoidant personality disorder or Schizoid. I was brought up as an only child with a alcoholic and emotionally abusive and neglectful single mother. I was always anxious and withdrawn as a child, and I suspect I've been asexual since I was at least 13. I've always had a deep and rich imagination and love to read and write creatively. I don't think I can connect emotionally with other people and I just don't understand family or romantic relationships. I'm 30 this year and child free and always had a weird aversion to sex. I can joke about it sometimes but the thought of actually doing it grosses me out so I never bothered. I always thought there was something incredibly wrong with me because I didn't feel comfortable dating anyone and am terrified of getting pregnant.

What some perceive as a personality disorder is often survival tactics to keep people away from them. After all, one is impossible to be emotionally abused if they keep others away from them. Self protection should always be a priority over ridiculous social interactions and connections. Being social accomplishes little, in life. But protecting yourself accomplishes a lot. It is time to stop overstating that being social is so important. It really is not. As for talk therapy, it only makes some people miserable. I know I will never return to a mental therapist again. It is a horrible experience that accomplished nothing.

I remember learning about this when I was in medical school, it was so confusing.

You are doing a major disservice to the mental health community through your comparisons of real disorders with ficticious characters

My head hurts right now cause worring if i have disorder

Super awesome video! Amazing work and so easy to follow and connect with real life experiences! I have been obsessed in understanding Personality Disorders for a book I am writing! I am definitely adding yours to the Last DJ's Playlists, a character in this book.

My dad had DPD my mom has NPD which made me have BPD :,)

This was a non bias video and I appreciate that and how millennial are taking away the stigmas!! Thank you for what you do. ❤️🙌🏻

“Also known as the dramatic cluster” ME. (BPD)

I have to go to counseling/therapy every week because I have several of these. Mostly schizoid, ocpd, and paranoid. They’re actually having issues narrowing down exactly which ones just because I display symptoms on all. I’ve been abused most of childhood on different ways and my biological family was full of people with ASPD. My bio mother had schizophrenia. Also have CPTSD. Never knew I had so much going on till recently honestly but I’m getting the help I need for them.

I have bpd and am working on it for the past 5 years. It's working :D

What do you have if you watched this and are now afraid that you have 13 different personality disorders.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with bpd. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, to cause me to be this way. Im constantly scared that the people around me will get frustrated with me and leave. I don’t know what to do or what can fix me. Im giving up self harm, whilst I do have a weird attachment to the scars they are ugly and and make me self conscious. But I need something, I can’t be out of control and for the last 3ish weeks I’ve been relapsing back into disordered eating. I remember being so proud, going days without eating and I just want to be happy again.

I have borderline and bipolar 2, I do have times where I’m irritable but I feel like it’s a misconception that a lot of us are angry and violent. Probably 80% of people I’ve met with the same disorder do not have those violent tendencies. AVPD is pretty true though, I’m not officially diagnosed but my therapist and I have agreed I have the DSM requirements for it, so I’m getting a referral to see a psychiatrist soon. I say this because I know there’s a lot of people out there who are scared to take action and get diagnosed because they see the diagnosis as a life-sentence or a career destroyer or that there’s no point. I promise you there is a point! Being diagnosed with borderline, it felt like I finally had answers and a direction to go to start learning how to cope with it. If I had listened to my family and not gone for diagnosis, I’d be doing CBT for like the millionth time with no luck. Instead, I’m doing DBT which is A LOT more suited for my disorder. I cannot believe how much easier things have been since starting DBT. You still have mood swings and hard to control emotions, but you know yourself SO much better and you have reasons behind your behavior that makes it so so so much easier to cope with your intense emotions. Take action if you think you have a disorder, it could change your life for the better! Shout out to all my borderline peeps; don’t give up, you’ve got this! ❤️❤️❤️

as someone with bpd, slightly very offended by how you way oversimplified and seemed fairly misinformed on what it actually is

Watching this after Joker.

Thank you for explaining BPD! I got diagnosed in January and it's been so stressful 😬

I am diagnosed with borderline and if someone out there is wondering, since i started taking prozac ive greatly improved, since my outbreaks were mostly associated with high stress situations, so dont be afraid to get help or get medication it helps

OCPD and Hermione Granger- No. Hermione is simply a very clever person who has in her head a lot of information that is useful to others. She can be bossy, but she isn't manipulative. For a person to be considered as having a "personality disorder", then the characteristics which are affecting them ust impact really negatively on their life. Hermione's intelligence and skills DO NOT impact negatively on her on her friends, after the boy's initial gripe caused mainly by the fact that she is both intelligent and bossy. Hermione very quickly matures into a tolerable "clever person". The person in the Harry Potter series wh is an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT EXAMPLE of a OCPD is Dolores Umbridge. Dolores sees herself as the absolutely perfect employee of the Ministry of Magic, and the Minister for Magic in particular. What Umbridge likes to do, above all things, is enforce correctness upon other people. To this end, she sets rules which impose impossible burdens on the children, so that she can have the pleasure of correcting their errors. She continually finds situations in which she can enforce some arbitrary rule. In the movie, the measuring of Professor Flitwick, it is sign of how this rule-making can be pushed to a ridiculous extent. While on this track, Gilderoy Lockart is absolutely typical of the overt Narcissist. He is a highly incompetent wizard, hiding behind a screen of self-agrandisement, and not at all mbarrassed about taking upon himself the glory that rightly belongs to others.

See the film "Rope" and count the personality disorders in every character

ive been medically diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and i can vouch for the fact it affects relationships, my boyfriend and i work thorugh it because i often experience mass rage in my mood swings and i lash out on both myself and other people it doesnt help that when you feel something, you get sad or angry with yourself for feeling that emotion and not being able to control it so it intensifies the feeling.

It's like that book the A to Z of illnesses!!By the time you've got to page 5,you have everything going!!!London

Personality Disorders Summed Up - Cluster A (Odd, bizarre, eccentric) Paranoid Schizoid Schizotypal Cluster B (Dramatic, erratic) Antisocial Borderline Histrionic Narcissistic Cluster C (Anxious, fearful) Avoidant Dependent Obsessive-compulsive

I have schizotypal, borderline and avoidant personality disorders all diagnosed. Which is kinda weird (I guess?) because they are all from each of the clusters but I like to call myself a mixed salad, one of those in which you put cheese and apple and raisins and stuff. It tastes good in the end but it's harder to make.

Diagnosed with dependent personality disorder, I can attest to the statement that it is very challenging to just about anything when you don’t experience healthy attachment. Therapy helps :)

I’ve read somewhere that people can’t have both the diagnosis of autism and the diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder. But to be brutally honest, I don’t know just how true that is, because I was recently professionally diagnosed with autism, and my parents and I are speculating that I could possibly have schizoid personality disorder as well. But if it’s true that someone can’t have both autism and schizoid personality disorder, then my parents and I would have to figure out what else is really going on for me. I also have ADHD, cerebral palsy, anxiety, and depression. The cerebral palsy has been caused by a brain injury that I had before I was born. Also people really need to understand that self diagnosis isn’t a good idea in general because it’s very problematic in the long run, especially for people who have been given a professional diagnosis of these disorders.

Only 9%?? No way... MOST of my friends and family have personality disorders! You can’t tell me that it’s that rare...

Unfortunately, personality disorders typically are ‘rigid’ forms of behavior that are resistant to change. As a retired therapist, I have experienced that they can be difficult to treat with talk therapy. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). has shown good response for borderline personality disorders, but it requires a great amount of desire to change on the client’s part as it is a long, arduous group therapy process. However, if a person with a PD is motivated to change, they should absolutely get therapy!

This is really fascinating. I can see these traits in a lot of people I know.

Wow that cloud gave me goosebumps! Thank you for sharing your suns story. Sending you and your family lots of love ❤️‍🩹 and hugs 🤗

Damn like 8/10 of these just hit straight home for me, too real

I have an actual separate darker version of myself. She has no name but she's been with me since I was 8 years old. Over the years, I have gotten some control over her, but sometimes she'll break free and control me. It's honestly like flipping a switch. Sometimes I can't control it. It's not a bad thing, it's good for her to do it sometimes because I hold in my emotions and she enables me to display them. If I could discribe her, I'd say she is a ferocious lion and like a vengeful goddess. I don't know if everyone has these Shadow aspects of themselves but they definitely help sometimes especially if you alone have trouble standing up for yourself.

it's so interesting finding out new things because if you can relate to some things then you can go on with more research about those things and you start to get to know yourself better i have found that i am an INFJ, i have antisocial personality disorder since i was about 6 years , since i can remember , but didn't know what it means, i also think it got worse during the years , but it's still not that bad,like i'm not a criminal (except stealing coffee or other small things) , i also can relate so much,maybe the most with schizotypal because i have very strong believes about space and other life forms,time travel, i can seem completely delusional to other people , but that doesn't bother me. no one can relate to me but i don't care.

You know I’m learning English and I already understand a lot, besides I’m interested in these kind of videos... they’re just interesting, and watching them in English is just fun for me. Keep going! :D

ok. We are all messed up and should pay a ton of money to experts to fix us. Have these experts fixed themselves with the dogma they are pushing?

*Always good to know yourself even more* 🙏

Hai! Diagnosed bpd here!!, borderline personality disorder is so much more than what you described it as there are a bunch of different types me personally, I have quiet BPD, for me it’s not being able to regulate my emotions it’s constant fears of people leaving me it’s taking out anything negative on myself. It’s constant mood swings, not knowing how I’m going to feel the next day or within the hour. It’s losing friendships and relationships because I don’t know how to handle certain situations in certain words it’s not knowing what trauma I have in the past until it comes up randomly throughout the days or weeks or months or years, it’s constantly feeling tired and scared that somethings going to happen to me it’s constantly being worried that my significant other hates me and that they’re going to leave me which causes me to try to leave them before they leave me. It’s a constant battle in my head it’s not being able to feel emotions regularly. It’s always feeling like you’re different and not able to fit in with other people. It’s so much more than what people like to say it is and I hate when people tell us that we are bad people for it when we really can’t help it. That’s what a personality disorder is, it affects your personality

I have STPD & AVPD. I struggle a lot with keeping with touch reality at times. But it helps me be creative & I have coping mechanisms to help me ground myself. However, one of my biggest struggles is feeling close to other. I try & slowly improving, but I’m terrified of people. I also struggle with making sense. My mind tends to be very abstract & specific thoughts take a lot of effort for me & are fleeting Interestingly STPD apparently is not seen as a personality disorder worldwide & is instead seen as part of the schizophrenic spectrum

I recognize them all in myself, which makes me wonder if that isn't the case with all persons: that the disorders are (more or less) harmoniously distributed - unless one pops up as more pervasive.

7:04 omg I was just thinking that right before you said it

Excellent Video! Very Easy To Comprehend & Easy To Get.

I’ve got a paper tomorrow about this. Thank you very useful 👌

The best is the histrionic: they amuse and they seek be be liked. The worst they can do is being drammatic which can also be amusing 😁

Generally good definitions, but your explanation of Borderline personality disorder was somewhat lacking. It's mainly characterized by an unstable sense of self and unstable interpersonal relationships. This can manifest in sufferers changing their appearance, jobs, hobbies, and beliefs seemingly out of nowhere. In their relationships, they go through periods of intense overvaluing of their partner followed by intense periods of devaluing them. People with BPD greatly suffer from an inner turmoil due to their unstable sense of self that can manifest in behaviors that harm themselves and, often inadvertently, others. Unfortunately, self-harm and suicide are more common with BPD though many people who have it can learn to live happy and healthy lives through things like DBT

i think i might be developing dependent personality disorder. i literally can't make any decisions unless my close friends or family members choose for me or direct my opinion a certain way. like, even when we go out to eat i always start arguments with my family because they ask me where i want to go but i'm incapable of saying anything. **not self diagnosing though! it just amazed me how much that sounds like me and i had no idea it existed prior to this video.

Good video. I like the way you get straight to the point.
