They tend to see other people as all good or all bad and are unable to tolerate the shades of gray. When faced with difficult life situations, they act impulsively or will hurt themselves by self-mutilation. They feel empty inside and are very emotionally sensitive to what is going on around them. Their response to the examples might be to remember a painful situation that occurred when it was cold, feel empty and cut themselves to feel alive. With the boss they would start screaming, leave the meeting and do some impulsive act like driving recklessly.
Individuals can be flirtatiousness and want to be the life of the party.
They dress and act to draw attention to themselves and often have shallow emotions. They might react to the snow example by going to the store to buy an expensive outfit suitable for a winter wonderland, kissing and hugging the store clerk and telling him about the wonderful experience they had. With their boss they would dramatically start crying, possibly make some flirtatious remark and then stalk out of the meeting. Individuals with this disorder have an inflated estimation of their own abilities and devalue the contributions of others. They feel entitled to special treatment and are overly hurt when they do not receive it.
