Title: Interesting chapter in "I Hate You— Don’t Leave Me" Post by: Devaluedman on June 09, 2015, 10:57:40 AM I have been reading an interesting chapter (4) in "I Hate You-Don't Leave Me" which posits that the fragmentation and alienating nature of society over the past 40 years have exacerbated BPD dysfunctional tendencies/behaviors in people, creating an inability for people to form lasting, loving and mature relationships. This really spoke to me. I'm throwing this out to y'all. What do y'all think about this thesis?
Here is the link to the book. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post a salient excerpt from the chapter, so I have refrained from doing so. https://humansystem.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/i-hate-you-dont-leave-me.pdf Title: Re: Interesting chapter in "I Hate You— Don’t Leave Me" Post by: enlighten me on June 09, 2015, 11:42:12 AM I think that social changes have made BPD behaviour more acceptable. If a girl slept around she used to be a slut. Now she is just having fun.
Funnily enough I was watching a program on bohemians and it screamed BPD. The bohemian and pre raphalites were scandalised during the victorian era. Their behaviour wasnt tollerated by society so it was hidden. If you think that up until the second world war society was quite strict. The majority of the population were too busy surviving to have much fun. Nowadays people have more free time than ever before. With all our modern conveniences we dont have to toil as much. The traditional family dynamic is no longer a neccessity as single parenting is perfectly manageable even with a job. People no longer have to put up with bad behaviour as divorce is relatively easy. I dont think BPD is more prevelant I just think they can get away with more and can have multiple relationships. |
