| 4. | Borderline Personality Disorder | ||
|
A short version of the definition of BPD:
more...
In general, people with BPD feel worthless, empty, moody, needy, depressed, and have difficulty managing their emotions. They have trouble with boundaries--both their own and respecting others. They are looking for that all-loving "other" who will provide the unconditional love they cannot give themselves. BPs often act inconsistently, act impulsively in ways they later regret, see other as either all good or all bad, and base their beliefs on feelings instead of facts. Borderlines are people in pain. BPs commonly manage their intense pain in two ways: they act in or act out. BPs who act in may mutilate themselves, make suicide attempts, express self-hate, or seek outpatient or inpatient therapy. Other BPs manage their pain by trying to foist it on others. They blame loved ones for all their problems, criticize, make unfair accusations, act emotionally or physically abusive, put others in no-won situations, and use emotional blackmail to get the love they need. A longer, clinical definition of BPD used by clinicians: The DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder reads as follows: A pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects moods, and marked impulsivity beginni... |

| 6. | antisocial | ||
|
Often confused with "asocial", which is very different; "asocial" means one who seeks to avoid society, somebody who refuses to or cannot socialize, like someone on the autism spectrum. Antisocial means "against society" or "anti-society"; hostile and antagonistic toward society. This includes behavior that disrespects and violates the rights and feelings of others as well as the order and principles of society, behavior that includes theft, bullying, rape, and general criminal behavior. An antisocial personality knows the difference between right and wrong but does not care; as long as they get what they want, they don't care who they have to walk over. The gang mentality of the district had led to many antisocial youths. The high degree of sociopaths in this rough part of town scared many locals.

| 7. | sociopath | ||
|
A person with antisocial personality disorder. Probably the most widely recognized personality disorder. A sociopath is often well liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments. Though some sociopaths have become murders, most reveal their sociopathy through less deadly and sensational means. Charles Manson
Ted Bundy Both are sociopaths |
