Sociopath Community

"High-functioning autism" is an older informal label, so I'd be careful about treating it as a distinct category. Someone can be autistic while being highly verbal, socially active, intellectually sophisticated, and extroverted. Autism isn't necessarily being shy, socially isolated, or emotionally flat.

I also think some of these traits are being evaluated too normatively. I don't necessarily see rigidity or limited interests as deficits. I have autistic traits like that myself, and I think they can be useful because they let me concentrate my resources and limit my exploitability.

My views on samsara reinforce that. I don't generally see dependence on other people, mutual gratification, or constantly accommodating other people's desires as inherently desirable. Being less socially flexible can therefore be useful if it reduces attachment and dependence.

Of the traits listed, the one I'd actually criticize from my perspective is that he despises being alone. Comfort with solitude seems much more compatible with detachment and ultimately moksha than needing constant interpersonal contact.

I also don't necessarily see the lack of apologies as a negative. An apology doesn't undo what happened, so unless it is accompanied by an actual change in behavior, I see it as mostly performative. It can function more as a ritual of submission or reassurance, feeding into the other person's desire for acknowledgment, control, or emotional validation. If someone actually did something wrong, changing the behavior seems more meaningful than verbally performing remorse.

There's also no evidence here about several things that would be important for a BPD formulation, such as a persistent pattern of unstable self-image/identity, chronic emptiness, marked impulsivity in other domains, recurrent suicidal behavior, or the characteristic pattern of rapidly shifting interpersonal evaluations.

If that's a female you've fallen for, and you never knew her that long, you're going to be in for a ride.

Borderlines feel jealous to the point, if she sees you talking to another woman, it's like getting cucked, like they feel cheated on. To them that's the world they live in, to you and I it's okay, unless something happens like your girl has chemistry with a dude getting lots of one on one time in a corner. It's like that for a borderline with the mildest interactions.

Look at you two discussing under the starlight.. so entrancingly beautiful. Bravo 

You two hate each other so much that you've transformed into lovers.

 Honestly. I'm his favorite person here. Who else would it be ? Nathan ? Emily ? Delora ? HA HA HA.

But really look into BPD. Also tell me the relationship. I recognize this as something that might bewilder you and you won't be the same.

Are you calling me BPD? If so, that's pretty ironic considering my point was that you can't infer a personality disorder from a handful of behaviors. You'd have to actually establish the relevant criteria rather than just throwing "BPD" at whoever disagrees with you.

That's an example of what I'm talking about. You're describing one possible manifestation of BPD, but that doesn't establish that the person in the OP has BPD. Jealousy and fear of losing someone's attention aren't specific to BPD. They can occur with anxious attachment, insecurity, narcissistic or histrionic traits, or simply as an individual personality trait.

You're also assuming the person experiences ordinary interactions as "being cucked," but the OP didn't actually say that. The only relevant information was that they get jealous when the other person talks to someone else. That's nowhere near enough to distinguish BPD from other possibilities.

If you're saying "this could be BPD," sure. If you're saying "this is evidence that it's BPD," then you'd need considerably more than that.
