First, we will briefly explain borderline personality, and then we will mention its seven main signs.
borderline personality
In borderline personality disorder, a person is always moving on the edge of a border or line, and at any moment it is possible to fall from one side of the border. People suffering from this personality disorder are among those with mental problems due to their unstable behaviors and emotions, and unfortunately, this disorder is more common in women. People with borderline personality disorder are happy one moment and depressed and isolated the next. Also, these people lack any emotion at one moment and appear as quarrelsome people at the next. For this reason, the rapid rotation of emotions in people suffering from this problem is visible and tangible in their behavior.
In addition to being afraid of being alone, these people have an unpredictable personality, so they try to interact and communicate with strangers in order to get rid of loneliness. This complication has symptoms and characteristics and is caused by various factors that we will examine together here.
1) Shaky relationships
People with borderline personality disorder have unstable relationships with their family, relatives, and friends. These people may quickly develop a strong liking for a person and suddenly hate that person. Any separation or change in the expected schedule can cause a strong reaction and a feeling of rejection in the patient with borderline personality disorder. When these people are interested in something or someone and that thing or that person goes away from them, they feel empty and isolated.
2) Risky behaviors
Spending money excessively is one of the behaviors of people with borderline personality disorder. Inappropriate sexual relations, overeating, or dangerous driving are some of the risky behaviors of these people. These behaviors are caused by a person’s poor self-image.
3) Overuse of drugs and alcohol
These people turn to drugs and alcohol to escape problems or to calm down. To better control the symptoms of this disorder, all of these cases should be treated.
4) Unreasonable anger
Out-of-control or insignificant situations can make people with borderline personality disorder very angry. For example, if parents or colleagues do not pay attention to a person with borderline personality disorder for a short period of time, this person becomes very angry due to the feeling of rejection and isolation.
5) Self-harm
A person suffering from this disorder can have dangerous symptoms and have problems related to their body image and self-esteem. People with borderline personality disorder self-harm, such as cutting themselves with a knife. They may even think about suicide, in which case they should see a psychiatrist immediately.
6) Feeling of emptiness
When these people are interested in something or someone and that thing or that person goes away from them, they feel empty and isolated, and they don’t have the ability to deal with this feeling. Symptoms of borderline personality disorder can include feelings of worthlessness, lovelessness, and emptiness. A new treatment called dialectical behavior can be helpful for sufferers.
7) Fear of being alone
Extreme anger and fear in these people come from being alone. These people get scared and angry even if they imagine that they are alone. Fear of being alone creates a serious problem in family relationships.
