This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dare I ask what “cluster b” means?

[–] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 117 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, emotional, or erratic behaviors, and difficulties regulating emotions and behavior.

Thanks, this entire post makes more sense now.

Although I gotta ask, at that point is it possible OP also has some issues...?

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 50 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Very plausible. Sometimes this happens to people who grow up with family who have cluster b personality disorders. It's like they're conditioned to be good partners to people who have it. Ask me how I know.

Mother had BPD, possibly ASPD, brother had NPD. I have a tendency to attract people who suffered intense childhood trauma.

I’m picturing you going on a first date and just casually asking something like “So, childhood abuse yes or no?”

[–] Disaster@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

Often times, you don't need to ask. You can just tell.

Like another comment said, sometimes you can just sense it, but often enough they will just tell me. I have heard so many stories, frequently about sexual assault by a family member, from someone I had just met or barely knew.

I have a similar thing. People just open up to me, but my parents aren't abusive. The worst punishment they gave us was to write a research paper on why what we had done was wrong.

Sameee. It sounds bad but honestly I think it's done a lot in the way of building mental fortitude

Is it possible? Dude rejected a woman for having "a blown up vagina" and taking "too much birth control".... Those aren't real things and they're a good sign that OP has some real incel mentality. It's quite possible he's being an ass then when his partner reacts emotionally he says "cluster b, blown up vagina, too much birth control" and leaves.

In the main mental health manual called the DSM there is a category of personality disorders, and cluster b is a subset of those disorders containing narcissism, borderline and histrionic personality disorders all of which share in common that they predispose the person who has them to act in "dramatic and erratic" ways.

Just looked it up, basically means personality disorders that cause people to act erratically.

Includes Antisocial-PD (closest diagnosis to the unofficial terms psycho/sociopath), Bordeline-PD, and Narcissistic-PD.
