Why is it said that borderline personality disorder is the equivalent of sociopathy in females?
BPD (I have it) is NOT like being a sociopath. I, deep down, know what I’m doing is wrong, but I cannot control it. I can’t stop myself from manipulating someone. Once I get something in my head, it takes LOTS of WILL POWER (which I usually don’t have) to stop myself. This IS- especially if I’m trying to get someone to love me. Most people with BPD are highly intelligent, but they cannot control their impulses, SO it can be “fun” (sarcastically) to be in a relationship with us/me! Haha. Um, back to the topic… It shouldn’t be said that BPD is the female version of sociopathy… (not feeling remorse for harmful actions). We DO feel remorse, but only AFTER we’ve hurt someone and they reject us. ACTUALLY, I don’t usually feel bad for what I’ve done in the heat of the moment. Remorse takes place weeks or months later for me. Very confusing topic!
