Are you thinking he has BPD?
The description ‘protect his personal image’ makes me think of narcissism. Just my two cents...
There’s been a lot of question about my having BPD, traits, EDD or maybe it’s just c-PTSD...it doesn’t really matter. Frankly, I am AI— A hole intolerant!
I have no problem discussing it, usually bring it up and into question myself as I am desperately trying to live a decent life. I am totally willing to take responsibility and try to change my faults, and wish the others would do that same...but they won’t.
