Why does Bordelines seem to like Histronics.
Doesn't they realise they are just going be betrayed and burned?
Histronics look for attention and have no real empathy instead they dramatize.
They just produce extrovert expressions of feelings that just exist as expressions, they don't have any introvert feelings and they don't have any intersubjective feelings for you(they don't have deep map of your emotions).
It seems to me that histronics just exploit bordelines and only amuse the bordelines as long as the bordelines does what what the histronic wants.
The bordelines cant realise this because they don't have a clear self-idenity that separates them from the histronic.
It's just a master-slave relationship.
with every joke from the histronic there is a black and twisted
hidden meaning. Its not jokes, it's hidden serious intentions.
The bordelines doesn't need raw attentions, they need company all the time but the histronic personality is just blank and raw.
Perhaps the bordeline is deluded to think they are independent because the histronic doesn't do anything hard for himself and need others do do it for him, also the bordeline is probably not doing any hard work for the histronic because the bordeline only knows social things but the histronic will still only take what the histronic wants with no concept of mutality.
I am sure of one thing, bordelines are easy to manipulate because they cant manage their impulses and they are introvertly volnurable
and the histronic have no inner feelings at all.
So good luck, you slaves.
You pretty angels in golden cages.

Actually I thought borderlines always liked the narcissistic personalities, not the histrionic personality. Seems like borderlines always fall for narcissists because they admire their independant nature and seem stable at first. But then the narcissist exploits them (borderlines). I don't know I read this book called "the emotionally abusive relationship" and it talks a lot about the relationship borderlines and narcissists have. You should check it out... especialy if you have been in a relationship with a borderline/narcissist. Could you give me an example of how you've seen a borderline being mistreated by a histrionic?
I guess it doesn't matter for me because I've been diagnosed with both borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. Lucky me

I am not sure, so I can't give an example.
Though I reason that the histronics would naturally absuse the bordeline.
Though both are empty and chaotic types without any solid core identity so I think the abuse would be invisible to either person.
The bordeline just conform and the histronic would just demean and push.
I supect the histronic always leaves the pragmatic decisions to someone else and here there is an appearance of equal and respectful relationspip.

Broken wrote:BPDs are attracted to most of the cluster 'B' types - whether they are Ns, Hs, Os. We like the excitement that Hs provide. We like the selfishness the Ns provide. We like the whackiness Os provide.
We have a skrewed up account of our feelings/emotions. Sometimes we can't feel anything around us - and crave stimulation and boldness of the Hs - to somehow feel something. Other times we feel every little nuance that transpires and want to escape into an altered state - and want to be around the null and void of the Ns.
Looking at this, we are some form of the Ns and Hs. We're usually cocky, brazen, and totally out there. I believe that we subconsciously understand the Ns and Hs and want to help and fix them - and surprisingly they subconsciously want to do that for us too!
I believe you mean 'A's' instead of 'O's'. OCPD is Cluster C. Antisocial is Cluster B.
