A sociopath uses pity to get their way with people. A psychopath enjoys hurting people. A narcissist wants attention. A borderline wants to be carried.
Sociopaths have no conscience and borderlines dont show one, so do they have one at all and is there a difference? All you need to know is they are mentally sick and if you stay you will be mentally sick in your own right. There are no real answers to insanity.
The anger and violence that a borderline may display is usually aimed at a loved one, while a sociopath (especially one with low intelligence and reasoning skills) will feel inclined to violence towards a wider array of people. It seems from what I've read, the sociopath has a need to control sexual partners and like to feel powerful, while a borderline will seek masochistic encounters (in order to be controlled- which validates the thoughts that they are not in control. ) and control their partners through frequency and intensity. They then turn rescuers into persecutors as that is what they suffered in childhood. The disorder is a repeating theme. Borderline is a persecution complex. If they did not have a conscience- they would not care. They do- but you are not you- you are a facsimile of their parent, notably their first objectified savior, their Mother.
The Borderline does have a conscience- but they do not have free will. Sociopathy is without conscience- but has free will. Borderline is an attachment disorder, sociopathy is not an attachment disorder. Attachment is the goal for the Borderline while fear of annihilation is the inevitable result from the fusion.
She would sometimes get gifts and if she had some reason to feel bad for the gift she would say something like, "He made me feel bad about buying it for me."
The main goal I think of all disorders is to satisfy their own needs at all cause, and others are just collateral damage.
t is hard to even see them as sick or as teenagers or kids, and the temptation is treat them like normal adults...with the same expectations. So if they can't live up to those expectations, it is as unrealistic as their relentless search for the "perfect partner".told me he loved me, made me feel like we would be together forever. The plans of me moving back to his city. Buying me gifts. Visiting me in my city as often as possible. All of this then suddenly not even calling
