Weird question, but has anyone else from cluster A developed a strange symbiotic relationship with a cluster B?

I have dependency and somehow I've managed to get stuck in very intense relationships with people who have narcissism. Idk what it is. They're often very controlling and I guess I just sort of fall into it because I'm comfortable following the lead of someone else, but it's also awful because literally all of them have been emotionally abusive in some form or other. They're always so sweet when you play by their rules and it does genuinely feel like a relief to have my dependency "looked after" but one small thing and BOOM they're accusing you of you being a cheater and using things you back into submission

God, same. Or dissociate so hard that you don't feel like yourself/a person and getting certain things done is now a possibility, but then you end up forgetting everything you've talked about with people or what you have done.

If you mean C instead of A; yes and it's very common that the relationships are toxic and/or abusive. People in the C cluster are susceptible to manipulative and controlling people, likely developing their disorder from past abuse.

Cluster C isn't real!

OCPD is just a somewhat crushed down aggressive disorder, off out there with other dedicated-shithead conditions. That doesn't mean that they can roll up all the leftover disorders into a neat little bundle, as if they hadn't already fallen on their face with schizotypal and all that. Okay, avoidant and dependent might be connected, but that's no opening for pushing shit way beyond that.

I've learned my lesson on that too and its fucking hard.

My DPD makes me a magnet for narcs because I'm hardwired to feel comfy when people are a walking red flag for possessive and obsessive behaviour- Cluster B people, unfortunately.

I'm in a relationship with someone who respects me and treats me like a person. The hard part is that something feels off. They respect my boundaries and that's literally what makes it feel off. I'm not used to having a relationship where a BPD nightmare isn't breathing down my neck and being intense all the time. The calmness of normal healthy relationships really takes some getting used to

How about learning to read? I dismissed two entire clusters, not only does # A also not really fit together either, but one of the "personality disorders" within it is actually in and of itself shaky!

What a nice way to "prove" the validity of these clusters, displaying yourself as a completely focus darting histrionic-avoidant that indulges in a distraction whenever anything gets awkward, or as a dependant-histrionic that is proudly above any shreds of autonomous judgement! Nevermind that they've probably dropped them by now in the 5th or whichever edition of the Dynamopsychological Statistics Manual or whatever that wasteful, dead-end pretentious Phred-Phelpsy Phreudian Phone book is called. Lighten up, society can't afford this kind of antiquated, laborious toolkit anyway, so pumping up faith in it doesn't even do anything for people.

Cluster B so blatantly is a cluster! There's connection between antisociality and hysteria. There's connection between antisociality and narcissism. There's connection between narcissism and hysteria. There's even suppossed connection between borderline and hysteria and/or antisociality.

Contrary to "get-out-of-jail free" notions, antisociality has been noted as more genetic than other PDs.

A is less valid additonally because paranoid is by its nature hard to zero in at and map out, on top of being obtuse. C is less valid additionally because it's united merely by being the kinds of disorders that shrinks simply find nice and lucrative.

Agreed.

I've (AvPD) had good dialogue with BPDs that don't have their heads up their rear, there's common ground to be found with the clinginess and fear of abandonment - imo it's something both AvPD and DPD can share similarities with. Even though we run away and hide a lot, Avoidants crave meaningful social interaction but also need a lot of reassurance that we're wanted around. This can lead to deeper or loyal bonds with people that can also set off our internalized fears and paranoia. There's no such thing as a Favorite Person for us though, and Avoidant episodes are typically periods of self imposed isolation as self punishment or from being socially overwhelmed.

Sappy and stupid because I should've expected it on anonymous image board, but coming to cc and not only seeing this thread but so many other AvPD anons here brought me a little happiness.

I feel as if there's constantly someone standing over my shoulder, so that I can't even brush my teeth without being judged negatively.

I like to think that everyone with mental health problems can empathize with eachother to some degree because while they may not struggle with the same illnesses they do know what it's like to struggle with something that people don't even think is real/dont take seriously. I'm shocked to find that mentally ill people don't actually do this too often. It only ever seems to happen between illnesses with shared symptoms.

While my experiences with being abused by multiple Cluster B people have left me not really liking them, I will admit that I will always lend and ear to someone who struggles with fears of abandonment because DPD has given me that in buckets and I don't think anyone should have to feel constantly afraid of people ditching them.

(Even if in the case of Cluster B the abandonment is oftentimes necessary because of their behaviour)

I'm inclined to pay attention to the uglier side of this, what if what's more common is avoidants and schizoids egging each other on to be the way they are, like on image boards for one?

>avoidants and schizoids egging each other on

This is a very interesting point. Some disorders seem to fall into relationships for whatever way the symptoms bounce off eachother. I've only ever really considered the relationship between DPD and BPD/Narcs. I never observed what seemed like schizos and avoidents having that same kind of relationship

Theres a word I'm trying to think of, or a phrase, and for whatever reason my mind is pulling a blank. "Relationship" isn't right, but I feel like saying "some disorders have a certain chemistry" isn't the right way to phrase it either

Anonymous 94679

>>94662
Yes it is interesting, even if likely to be messy to untangle… maybe an arrangement, connection or social setup? Or to put it in an overhandedly direct way, how about a fraction of a relationship?

What gets implied in that is that the reason the same word doesn't fit is because it's not the same. and if it is a match-up involving a schizoid, that should make it something like an opposite of what's described as overly intense relationships between aggressively connecting types.

Chemistry seems to be getting to the point to, not just for "interpesonal chemistry", but also for differently focussed twisted types, like those with issues relating to routine.

Part of it is the factor that the internet contributes, like, if you were to really go out on a limb, you might wonder if it makes it possible to be slightly avoidant and histrionic, as inconceivable as that would have before sounded any other way.

Anonymous 94684

Sorry, it's awkward to talk about these kind of things in the abstract, even doing so time and time again it still manages to be awkward. It's not some major dramatic bang-packing endpoint of awkwardness, but it is its own way of being grindingly awkward. Maybe for different reasons, like from being contrasted to everymen's life attitude truisms, some of which may derive from archaic psych notions but of course with big slamming conviction-boosts.
>>94683
Well, for instance, schizoids could signal to avoidants that highly anticipated social things can just be disappointing tediums, while avoidants may report to schizoids that social situations are scary, possibly leading to schizoids noticing the lack of scary factors and judging that nothing social is actually occuring. Schizoids are discouraged from social situations by certain things, avoidants by somewhat different ones, if they put they their heads together, they could come up with more complex negative assessments about social situations.

Hmmm, conflating schizos (schizophrenics, schizotypals, schizoaffective) with schzioids (despite the name) gives me a general sense of doubt about how you're constructing what it is schizoids experience. If anything, schizoids and avoidants are both anxious about social situations equally, the only difference being that schizoids are less distressed when they are isolated from social activities. The typically schizo-posters that are going to react to avoidant anxiety thinking (like some of the users on this board who suffer from what I can only describe as "androphobia") are schizo-typal not schizoid.

Anonymous 94725

>>94709
Yeah, that's pretty important. Even though it's not reaching the stereotype-level of equating being schizo to multiple personalities, at least I think it doesn't get that bad these days.

Though there are ways to pry them appart a decent bit, schizoids are said to have less capacity for satisfaction, they don't have to feel equally distressed because of that other equation-end. And avoidants are said to have perhaps-rowdy imaginations.

But it's not like you couldn't conceivably have weird social circumstances push a schizoid and an avoidant together, maybe causing some traits to get drilled between them a bit.

If you're talking about the new ICD destroying the personality disorder clusters and just mashing them all together for one PD soup then IMO I think the ICD is largely (Euro) trash and that this is one of the worst steps for medicine since removing gender dysphoria.

>what if what's more common is avoidants and schizoids egging each other on to be the way they are, like on image boards for one?

I don't see that happening on the boards I read and that doesn't happen IRL, granted it's only in my experience. At that point it's not like the two beacon out for each other or something, like Bs with Cs imo, and it's more neurotic people online venting and conversing. It just happens notably often with cluster B and C.

>>94684
>schizoids could signal to avoidants that highly anticipated social things can just be disappointing tediums
TBH Avoidants will reach this conclusion or similar anyway if they're in that state of mind or struggling with intrusive thoughts. It's anxiety/fear based and you spiral yourself into it through your own thinking.

They're categories of mental illnesses. Specifically, theure categories of personality disorders that share similarities but are distinct enough to be considered seperate disorders.

Cluster A is the schizotypal personality disorder group and I dont know much about them.

Cluster B is the group known for disorders that make things tricky to be in friendships and romantic relationships with them. They're prone to things like histrionics, manipulation, antisocial behaviours, and often times becoming a victim of their own reckless impulses.

Cluster C is the group known for constant anxiety around everything. We're prone to things like avoiding everything, seeking dependence on others, and being at high risk of getting sucked into abusive relationships.

Anonymous 95093

>>95077
Personality disorders are in clusters due to their overlapping behaviors/symptoms and similarities.

C is the anxious/fearful cluster. Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive Compulsive.

A is the eccentric/odd cluster. Paranoid, Schizotypal, and Schizoid.

B is the erratic/dramatic cluster. Borderline, Narcissistic, and Antisocial.

Not thoroughly, they're just the descriptors of the overall cluster. To my knowledge, OCPD individuals talk about how much anxiety/fear they feel when they don't complete their tasks/rituals the exact way they want.

>Schizotypal is probably the most controversial of them all.

I don't know of any controversy around cluster A PDs. Decided to slap together screenshots from the DSM5 because I got curious. Picre

Odd just means what's not usual or expected/the norm. Odd doesn't even fit as a descriptor for OCPD, if you want to be anal about it, they're too inflexible to do something out of character. I don't see the commonality between OCPD and PPD.

>Particularly for something which even entrusted experts themselves seem to not know as well as they yearn to.
The odd personality cluster is the least studied because they are the least likely to actually seek medical care for their disorders. Schizoids won't interact with anyone who will direct them to a therapist, nor the therapist themself, and unlike say, an avoidant, being schizoid is ego-isotonic, they will take pride in their aloofness. Paranoia is a symptom of some of the other personality disorders, but is usually sub-ordinate to some overarching issue. An avoidant will be paranoid about other people's opnions because she's socially anxious. A paranoid will be socially anxious around other people due to his paranoia, which is usually a fear response to almost everything. Schizotypal is just one step short of schizophrenia where we get to grind the fine line between "delusion" and "unconventional belief", which is purely up to social convention at that point. In the end these people certainly exists, just none of them are likely to either seek out treatment to better themselves, or be forced into (such as narcissists) by people around them.

AvPD isn't very well studied or understood either, the major issue we face is that we're never fully honest with our therapists if we see them, the lack of trust and fear of judgement is that intense. It's misunderstood as extreme social anxiety when it's not exactly like that. You seem to have that misperception. It's not a fear of being around people, it's the fear of how others are perceiving you. There's a high comorbidity for AvPD with Social Anxiety Disorder, but they're not the same.

But it does describe other personality disorders well and swiftly, it gets at the core issue which they're trying to tackle whenever they are cooperating with those who define these classifications.

It's a rather weak standard, don't other PDs actually display fretfulness, serious stress and anguished disorientation when they're faced with their achilles heels? That is kludgey, lumping together two types that get visibly disturbed being in particular situations with a third that can simply be convinced to partake in a discussion about how upsetting the concept of certain wrong situations can be.

>>95211
>>95359
Who says they're the least studied? They're actually acknowledged and organized together as the first cluster! It's a categorization about which the authorities on the concept want to know more.

girl OCD is different from OCPD
OCD is a standalone mental disorder rooted in obsessions (intrusive unpleasant thoughts and fears) and compulsions (seemingly random actions thought by the affected person to protect against whatever complusive thought/thing)
OCPD is a Cluster C Personality Disorder characterized by a need for perfection, strict rules and productivity (OCPD is associated with high productivity at work)
