Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who has a Cluster B personality disorder (Antisocial personality disorder/sociopath, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder).

And describe your experience?

I believe my ex is borderline though I'm not sure because I'm not a doctor, but his behavior was classic borderline.

Can these people "love"?

(By the way, I apologize in advance if this post is in any way offensive, like if you or a family member of yours has a personality disorder or something)

Yes I have.

The experience was bad.

They can't love. Only themselves.


More like a clusterF uck personality. Bad, bad people to have roaming around the planet.
My dream job is to operate a team of highly trained vigilantes that eliminate these scum.
The cops won't do it. Society refuses to ostracize them. Someone needs to say "enough" and do something about them.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that, though. I know a few people with BPD and they are trying to live very normal lives and still good people to boot.

Cluster B personality disorders are pretty compared to the number of other personality disorders that are prevalent. Most cluster B personality disorders cannot be cured, only
controlled and maintained. But then again, that is the story for the majority of personality and mood disorders.

It's not so much that they only love themselves. Most aren't capable of empathy or do not understand that their actions generally will have negative consequences for the people they will be interacting with. Most are already pretty aware that they are different from the majority of the population.

Anyway, if you know someone who does have these disorders (albeit, I wouldn't cluster BPD in this), it's best to not pursue a romantic relationship with them. Friendship, intellectual or business relationship, or something short-term/unattached could be achieved though.

That's just my two sense.

I dunno. I'm not trying to get on my high horse or anything. I'm just hugely passionate about mental health and I'm actually trying to get a job that does a lot of advocacy work for mental health. I know cluster B personality disorders can suck. I wouldn't want to be close to someone who was histrionic or had APD, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they needed to be eliminated.

Perhaps if the mental health people locked the cluster fucks up BEFORE they started damaging the general public we wouldn't have so many problems. Weed them out. We don't need them.

I was with a socio/narc/BPD for 4 years. Didn't have a clue what was going on until I was 3 1/2 years into it. Pathological liars, no conscience, no empathy, always playing the "victim", silent treatment, said I love you like he would say pass the butter....nothing had meaning. Sex was off the hook great. That is their MO.....get you hooked emotionally then start screwing with you. I was all in playing my part and it was all kicks for him. He married someone else 2 months after we broke up on Valentine's Day this year. I am still healing from all of this and have been no contact since December of last year. I just saw a picture of them tonight on fb. It was hard to see, but he is her problem now, and believe me, he is not a prize. He's conned her just like he did me and she will find out what he is really like after the honeymoon wears off. Run like the dickens if you are with one of these people.

Many mental disorders are a mixture of environmental and biological factors. Shizoid disorders generally tend to be more from a chemical imbalance... too much dopamine most likely.

I actually deal GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and I take an SSRI for it, which is basically an anti-depressant, but the whole deal is that it's supposed to keep a certain amount of serotonin present in your brain. My anxiety is due to many environmental factors, but there has been cases of anxiety disorders and drug abuse in my family, so it could also be biological. But one therapist of mine said to me that "sometimes your environment can actually change your biology."

Do you happen to know the cause of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder by any chance? Other than the obvious "you have odd ways of dealing with your anxiety"...and "you feel out of control so you want to feel in control through rituals".
