I’m going ahead and reblogging this article because it’s gaining some traction on the web after over 3 months of almost no attention so I figured I’d help it out. 🙂 Thanks to whoever is responsible for this.

I was told many lies about myself while growing up within my my FOO (family of origin). I have no doubt this had everything to do with my developing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), and lifelong severe anxiety.

Why personality disorders are so difficult to cure.
Personality disorders (PD’s) are formed very early in life, normally before the age of six–which is the reason they are so hard to cure. Because the child’s personality is still in a malleable state (meaning it hasn’t fully formed) until around age 5, PD’s become an integral part of the personality and therefore can be extremely difficult to eradicate because they were formed so early the child doesn’t believe it’s a problem, just the way things are.

    • It’s incredible the lies they tell. They tell lies even when there’s no need to. They start to believe their own lies too. Someone (I forgot who) said narcissists are batshit crazy because they believe their own lies. They live in fantasy land and are really very out of touch with reality.
      I agree that is a terrible thing to tell a child.
