So was Jodi Arias BPD or AsPD?

I was reading up on Jodi Arias again recently, and I noticed that she seems like almost a Borderline with a Psychopathic edge to her. I've seen articles describe her as, "a different kind of Borderline," one who seems to have the standard issue BPD traits, like fear of abandonment, "I hate you, don't leave me," etc, but also one whose actions seem more aggressive or perhaps more Psychopathic than most Borderlines. I would hesitate to categorize her as solely AsPD, though, because she does seem to have those unmistakable BPD tells in relationships, etc.

So is Jodi some kind of BPD/AsPD combo? Or perhaps a Borderline-Psychopath hybrid, resulting in Borderline needs being met through Psychopathic mechanisms? I.e., a Borderpath?

Here's a gratuitous pic, just because. Feel free to post more pics with your responses. In fact, please do.

probably both

they can often be co-morbid

That's her best picture. It's all downhill from here.

I'm thinking a creamy BPD center, and Pathy hardshell on the outside. (not a lot of blinking)

Travis Victor Alexander was born on July 28, 1977,[7] in Riverside, California. After his father's death in July 1997,[8] Alexander and his seven siblings were taken in by their paternal grandmother, Norma Jean Preston Alexander Sarvey (1932–2012), who eventually introduced them to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[9] Alexander was a salesman for PPL - Prepaid Legal Services (later renamed LegalShield), a legal services company.[10] He also worked as a motivational speaker for PPL.[11]

Sounds like a real unrighteous, tolerant, and laid back kind of, non-stigmatic, dude.

In other words.

Jodi Arias won.

What was Lorena Bobbit?

What was O J Simpson?

Who was Charles Manson?

Who was General Groves?

Who was President Truman?

The written order for the use of the atomic bomb against Japanese cities was drafted by General Groves. President Truman and Secretary of War Stimson approved the order at Potsdam.

Given the nature of Jodi Arias and her knife wielding emotional outburst, she was probably BPD.

Unless she had a massive case of OCD and poor impulse control.

She doesn't even get her own Wikipedia entry.

I'm guessing she is neither BPD or ASPD. Simply a woman scorned by an asshole.

Jodi Ann Arias was born on July 9, 1980, in Salinas, California. She and Alexander met in September 2006 at a Prepaid Legal Services conference, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. On November 26, 2006, Arias was baptized into the Latter-day Saint faith by Alexander. As of February 2, 2007, Alexander and Arias were a couple. After the two broke up on June 29, 2007, Arias moved to Mesa, Arizona, until April 2008, at which time she moved to her grandparents' house in Yreka, California.

Actually, they met at a legal counselling service, so... if they needed legal counselling, they were probably both a little BPD. Only jesting.


Probably NPD.

“[My dad] didn’t leave welts as often as my mom, she also used a belt. My dad was very intimidating so I don’t think he needed to hit as quite as hard to get the point across,” said Arias in court.

Arias said her father could bench more than 500 pounds when she was a child. She said sometimes her parents would both beat her at the same time, and her mom would dig her nails into her.

She dropped out of Yreka Union High School after the 11th grade, and got her GED in jail after being arrested on July 15, 2008, for Alexander’s death. She has been in jail since her arrest, and has taught herself Spanish and sign language behind bars.

I tend to agree, JAG.

The best kind. IMO.

Interesting pick. Worse yet, Curtis LeMay.

Does wartime excuse or develop, or both? I read a book on the Einsatzgruppen a few years back, in which it went into detail on how regular young men were made into cold blooded killers.

All yours.

After seven hours of deliberation, the jury found Lorena not guilty due to insanity causing an irresistible impulse to sexually wound John

if he was so physically, emotionally, etc. abusive why didn't you just leave you stupid Bltch?

YOU CUT HIS PENIS OFF

CRIED A HISTORY ABUSE

AND YOU GOT AWAY WITH IT


IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE??? THAT'S YOUR DEFENCE?

Well, i'm having an irresistible impulse right now to kill my neighbour, i should have no problems getting away with it...

like i've said countless times, the state, and in fact all people with power or influence in modern societies, consists of cvnt moralless bottom feeding men + women who are innately inferior utterly and completely exploiting and committing countless injustices against men.

every time i see women cry i want to punch them in the face, give them something to cry about.

piss all over their face.

I think she's BPD + ASPD + NPD traits. I do not see her as complete ASPD due to her emotional range. I think her lack of emotions in court is due to either depression, or honestly PTSD that she incurred herself after brutally murdering Travis. She traumatized herself

A better ASPD would have laid on the charm or done so much more to add emotional depth in that situation. She couldn't do it.
