As you know Borderlines’ severity can vary from slight to completely ruinous behaviors. I would think the Borderlines you would see professionally would be on the ruinous end of the scale where their behaviors had caused them serious problems.
The problem is that Borderline traits are extremely common in human beings, especially in females. Some of my recent girlfriends were pretty erratic and yes, they did display some significant or even marked BPD traits. One I am certain was not a BPD though and the other one had never been diagnosed, and honestly as nuts as she is, I am still not sure if she is diagnosable BPD. I described both of them to my mother and the first thing she said was, “Is she a Borderline? She sounds like a Borderline.”
I am honestly of the opinion that there is a little borderline in every woman. A lot of women have a little borderline in them, but some have a vast amount of borderline in them to where we call them BPD’s because they are so outrageously pathological.
BPD is simply the Female Principle run amok and gone completely insane and taken to its ultimate extreme.
Likewise Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder are simply the Male Principle run amok and gone wild and taken to the max.
Too much female, not enough male = bad.
Too much male, not enough female = bad.
Both the male and female principles have good and bad sides. What BPD’s NPD’s and sociopaths have done is take everything bad about the Gender Principle and take it to the ultimate.
