Personality Disorders Part 2: Cluster B

Is your ex actually a narcissist, or has pop psychology gone too far and stigmatized the lived experience of those who have suffered through a narcissistic personality? Are those with borderline personality disorder attention-seeking, manipulative, and always emotionally unpredictable? Are loners and introverts antisocial, or are all antisocial personalities psychopaths? And what the heck is histrionic? All of this and more demystified as I slash through the misconceptions of the TikTok and Instagram pop psychology of the Cluster Bs! References American Psychological Association. (2022).
