- Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Amazingly, he's unaware of his own disorders and dysfunctions and we know this for two reasons - first, Cluster B personality types are unable to process any self-frailty, and second - if he HAD become self-aware of his disorders, he'd have a team working on rewriting the DSM-5.
- Not all cluster B are as you describe. I have BPD & I'm very aware of it & work every day on controlling it & myself. A lot of folks with BPD can be overly empathetic to the point of mirroring. I see a therapist twice a week. She says with work BPD can be cured/remission. Only cluster b that can.

- No, it’s really not. BPD’s would like you to think that in their pursuit for perpetual victimhood, but they’re clustered under B for a reason. Don’t let them gaslight you.
- Where was the perpetual victimhood in this particular thread?
- The specific framing that an inwardly reflected self centered “empathetic” response is equivalent to an NonPD’d Affective empathy. iwCB’s confound Cognitive and Affective empathy. This was an attempt to distance themselves from the cluster they are in, and elicit apologetic behaviour from OP.
