How to Know If Your Partner Has a Personality Disorder

Relationships are difficult to maintain. Under normal circumstances, there are already very challenging situations that require immediate attention and emotional roller coasters. Imagine when one of those parties suffer from a personality disorder, and this defect has lead to complete disaster? The possible personality disorders one can suffer from are sociopathy, borderline personality disorder, or narcissism.

Being able to distinguish between the "weird" and from those who simply have some mental disorders is an equally challenging task. These signs may not be very obvious and may be viewed by some as just normal, not realizing there is an underlying reason for these actions. Once the disorder reaches levels that are no longer controllable, these people may end up doing things that you consider to be incomprehensible, hurtful, or destructive.

What are the signs that your partner has a personality disorder?

1.    Lack of empathy:

While some women would consider this to be natural for men, there are certain events when this is no longer applicable. On certain emotionally distressing situations of other people, it is natural for others to empathize. Even when your partner shows a brief sign of empathy, but does not comprehend the general weight of the situation just because it is not his own, this could be an unattractive sign.

2.    No signs of guilt:

When others are at a low state due to previous circumstances that you caused, it is only natural for you to feel a certain state of guilt. For some with personality disorders though, they feel the hurt the victims feel are well deserved due to their own weakness.

3.    Too much sense of self-worth:

When your partner feels superior compared to others to the point that he would limit his interaction only to those he feels equals his status, this is not something natural. He could also be playing up his achievements and accomplishments, exaggerating them to degrees that would allow him to brag about things that are actually uneventful.

4.    Compulsive lying:

People with disorders like to make lies from stories, whether big or small. Whether it is significant to other people or not, it does not matter. It is done under the premise of possible amusement, or just a habit they cannot get out of their system.

These guides are not enough for you to be able to build any conclusions. It is important to let your partner see a specialist. It is only important for you to be aware so as not to enter any relationships you are not ready for, or how to handle one you already have.
