How To Recognize Men With Borderline Personality Disorder

By George Sullivan


Some people are harder to appreciate than others. It can be because they're just thoughtless and self-serving. It can also be a sign of some sort of mental illness that makes if difficult for them to process their thoughts in a way that's healthy. If you know a man who lacks empathy, doesn't accept responsibility for the things he does, and craves your approval, he might be someone mental health professionals categorize as men with borderline personality disorder, commonly referred to as BPD.

Some mentally ill people are highly functioning. They might seem to have everything together until you get to know them well. Other people are at the opposite end of the spectrum. They can't function without their daily medication to keep them going. It is no different for males who have BPD. If you have any hope of understanding how your partner thinks, you need to be aware of the signs of the disease.

People with BPD have low self-esteem. It often manifests itself as craving approval and attention from everyone around them. They might copy others' behaviors. BPD sufferers do this because they don't have sufficient faith, or trust, in themselves. Although they don't always act like it, these individuals have deep feelings of inferiority. They don't think independently. Instead the things they say and do are the things they believe others want to see and hear.

If this individual suffers from BPD, he most likely lacks empathy. He won't see, or particularly care, about what other people want or need. He will have no regard for how his behavior impacts the people around him. His sense of awareness is underdeveloped. If he has a history of bad relationship experiences, that would be completely normal.

It's not unusual for these types of people to get involved in destructive and negative relationships. Mental and physical abuse is fairly common. Borderlines can be excessively needy and mistrusting. They can go from uncomfortably close to an individual to totally distant. Romantic partners aren't the only ones who experience this. Family and friends are victims of the behavior as well.

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.

Men who have BPD are terrified of abandonment and being left alone. You may be the victim of his paranoia and intense jealousy. Borderlines are not above stalking their partners and monitoring their daily activities. Your partner may accuse you of ridiculous things that make no sense or have any basis in reality. He may even threaten to kill himself if you don't do whatever it is that he wants you to do.

Mood swings and uncontrollable anger are two major signs of this disease. BPD sufferers blame everyone else for their shortcomings. They can be impulsive and prone to risky behaviors. Ten percent of people diagnosed with the disorder commit suicide. That's four hundred times higher than the national average.
