What personality disorder is this?

Question

Or known to stalk others, act better than others, and apologize to their friend's parents everytime they get in a fight?(even if they are well beyond their 20s) and watch people?

Answer 1

This absolutely amazes me.... I normally try to provide some kind of helpful feedback, but come on. How can these other iddiots even guess a diagnosis in a two sentence description? I'm a therapist and I wouldn't even think of that. These two questions mean absolutely nothing. I would probably need a good 2-3 session to come up with an accurate diagnosis. I'm sorry, I understand you asking these questions and I'm sure you have a legitimate concern, but the answers are completely bogus. "Sounds like histronic personality disorder to me, especially if it's a male" and the guy works in mental health????? How about ethics???? I'm sorry, thats ridiculous.

Answer 2

Well, more information must be known. If a person acts like he is better than others, that could be narcissism. The apologies just sound like the person is impulsive and out-of-control and perhaps in need of anger management. This person is doing things that he later regrets rather than act in accordance with his character. Stalking could be delusional disorder - erotomanic type. Everyone looks at people but if this person is doing it because he is suspicious, then that could be delusion disorder-persecutory type.

What you can do is type these names into a search engine and read about them to see if any of these diagnoses ring true. Check out borderline personality disorder also.

Answer 3

Histrionic Personality Disorder fits the closest, especially if the person is male.

Females with this disorder usually act very seductive and like to draw attention to their appearance. You didn't mention anything like that.

Answer 4

Sounds most like a borderline personality disorder to me, or it could be a sociopath. Whichever, they won't get any better without treatment, which they'll only get if they want to change.

Answer 5

It might be a superiority complex, or could be about control! Individual needs some kind help now, before it's too late to intervene........
