Following are different types of personality disorders developed in people showing emotional and impulsive
behaviour:
Antisocial personality disorder: It is characterised by a disdain for social rules and duties. They are
irritable and aggressive, and they behave rashly. They have a lack of shame and fail to learn from their
mistakes. They may lie, steal, abuse, and may develop an addiction to alcohol or narcotics.
Borderline personality disorder: People with borderline personality disorder lack a sense of self-worth,
resulting in feelings of emptiness and anxieties of abandonment. A pattern of emotional instability,
aggressive outbursts, and impulsive behaviour exists. Suicidal ideation and self-harm are widespread in
persons with this personality disorder. They may struggle to cope with stressful situations.
Histrionic personality disorder: People with histrionic personality disorder sometimes try to attract
attention by being too theatrical. They are highly sensitive to criticism or rejection and are readily swayed
by others.
Narcissistic personality disorder: Narcissistic personality disorder is characterised by the belief
that one is more important than others. They lack empathy for others and prefer to glorify their own
accomplishments.
Group C: Anxious
This personality condition is characterised by emotions of worry, anxiety, or dread that can interfere with one's
regular activities. For example, Sneha is a retired teacher who lives with her family. She has a habit of repeatedly
checking if the windows and doors are locked. Even after confirming several times, she still feels anxious and
keeps checking them throughout the day. As a result, she avoids spending time with her family and friends,
isolating herself from social activities.
Following are different types of personality disorders developed in people showing anxious behaviour:
Avoidant personality disorder: People with this disorder are socially incompetent, unappealing, or
lacking, and they are always afraid of being embarrassed, criticised, or rejected. They avoid social situations
and frequently suffer emotions of inadequacy, inferiority, or unattractiveness.
Dependent personality disorder: People with this illness have a lack of self-confidence and a strong
need to be looked after. They require a great deal of assistance in making daily decisions and entrust
crucial life decisions to the hands of others. They are highly dependent on others for their emotional and
physical needs and, as a result, hate being alone.
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder: People with this illness are obsessive about following
rules and regulations. They are distinguished by an overbearing desire for orderliness, perfectionism, and
attention to detail. They are highly uncomfortable when they are unable to attain perfection. They may
even overlook personal connections in order to finish a project.
