Dear readers, people with borderline personality pattern have identity disorganization, they do not have a complete and complete identity. When the therapist asks you to tell me about yourself, they cannot tell their good and bad traits together. He either introduces himself very well or only talks about his bad qualities. So, in this personality pattern, splitting is a very common defense mechanism. These people cannot identify their mother, father, siblings, who are important others, as a whole identity.
People with borderline personality pattern avoid fully experiencing the negative emotions that hurt them. They exhibit action-taking behaviors in order not to touch these painful feelings. To avoid negative emotion, they may overeat, drive too fast, have random sexual intercourse, excessively smoke, use alcohol, shop unnecessarily, watch TV series for hours and literally disconnect from the world. The aim is to escape the feeling of emptiness and not experience painful negative emotions. In therapy, the client laughs when talking about something negative, avoids pain, sometimes changes the subject, jumps from topic to topic or talks a lot. may shout. It's as if there are only two of them there and cannot be aware of the environment.
People with borderline personality pattern tend to cling to the person they are in a relationship with, behave as they want, almost cease to be themselves. They are afraid that they will always be abandoned by the person they love, and they behave in ways that will make them leave so that the other party does not leave them. It overwhelms the loved one and alienates him from himself. >
