Politics and the Personality Disordered Mindset

The fact that Borderlines have no capacity for circumspection (look it up if ya don’t know what it means), they can only see what’s immediately in front of ‘em. This is true of young children, as well. You might have noticed this trait among your liberal ‘friends’ during the weeks leading up to and after our recent election.

Single-mindedness is common among Borderline Personality Disordered individuals. They are dogged in their pursuit of aims or goals like they have blinders on, and lack peripheral vision. Once they decide on a belief or agenda, there’s no deterring them or changing their mind. Borderlines typically fail to see the bigger picture of an issue, even when you try to explain or walk ‘em thru it 20+ times. They just won’t integrate it, because admitting they may have been “wrong” about something or someone, evokes unbearable shame.

It may have confounded you, that with such radically critical challenges on America’s platter leading up to election time, Libs were rabid over only one concern: Abortion. THIS demonstrably highlighted their lack of circumspection.

Regardless of how many times you tell a BPD liberal she can still kill her fetus (the one being who loves her unconditionally~ at least until she fucks him or her up), but might have to cross state lines to do it, they’re like a dog with a bone, and cannot see nor hear reason. They also seem completely unaware of myriad contraceptive devices and drugs invented (largely by men, incidentally) solely for females to give ‘em sexual freedom without fear of conceiving.

If you’ve ever been involved with one of these folks, you’ve learned there’s no such thing as Conflict Resolution. The same relationship issue arises over and over again, no matter HOW many times you’ve discussed it and thought it was finally resolved. A borderline disordered partner may nod their head to indicate they understand you, and agree that you’ve reached a mutual, equitable outcome during your hours-long resolution efforts, yet as soon as the very next day, the same damned issue resurfaces, and you’re right back on that exhausting trolley again!

If it seems you’re dealing with a child during these frustrating interchanges, it’s because you are. Borderline Personality Disorder is a developmental arrest issue, which is not gender specific. Borderlines began disconnecting and dissociating from difficult, awkward and painful feelings as toddlers, in order to survive emotionally in their home environment. This means their emotional growth was stunted around the age of 2 - 3 years old.

As a result, one with BPD traits lacks impulse control, a healthy sense of boundaries and empathy (not to be confused with sympathy). Typical symptoms include but are not limited to, avoidant behaviors, obsessive-compulsive thinking, anxiety and/or panic episodes, eating disorders and food phobias, various addictions including excessive gym workouts, compulsive retail shopping, stringent yoga, Buddhist or hyper-religious practices, long-distance romances, social anxiety, and fear of attachment or bonding with another. This is the short list.

I wrote an article years back, about the BPD client. It is available in its entirety on my website, and has helped many clinicians deal more effectively with Borderlines, IF they accept them as clients (many do not). If you’re interested in reading it, click here.
