Also, if you re-read my comment, I did not say that men “cannot have” bpd, I said it is almost never diagnosed in them. Which is true. Thank you for the article backing up my point!
No. “BPD symptoms” usually manifests in men as antisocial personality disorder. The whole point of this article is to not throw around the term “sociopath” when talking about guys who are just douches… but this girls ex has not even been clinically diagnosed with any type of mental illness. Contradiction at it’s finest.
As someone who’s *actually* educated in mental illness, borderline personality disorder is primarily found in women and almost NEVER diagnosed in men. I’m sorry that you dated an emotionally abusive and manipulative man, but don’t add to the stigma.
