Self-states (not the same as Millon’s or others’s typology or taxonomy)

Classic-dissociative: separation insecurity, engulfment anxiety, Relationship obsessive–compulsive disorder, philophobia, low Self-monitoring, impaired transparency estimation

The shy or quiet borderline internalizes her struggles rather than externalize them. She becomes the exclusive target of her own turmoil. She “acts in”.

Psychopathic Borderline/Dark Personality: violent/aggressive

Antisocial (secondary psychopath) Borderline: sociosexually unrestricted, compulsive sexting, transactional sex, promiscuous

Both the classic and covert borderline (many of the latter are men) act out.
