Title: BPD / HPD job in sales jobs with men Post by: Curious12 on March 26, 2018, 12:53:16 PM Keep noticing confirmed BPD / HPD's having similar jobs.
I have only known 5 girls in my life that I know are diagnosed. Two work as men's clothes retail sales person and other two are men's hair stylist. (other is a doctor). Why do 4 out of 5 work in similar jobs as sales/stylist to men? Is this coincidence or do they thrive on flirting, attention, meeting new guys, etc? Thoughts?

Basically, they don't play well with others, and the more they are around others the more chance for blowups and drama.
Both my exes were sales reps in male dominated industries. However, my first started out as a clinical nutritionist and my second ex was in the beauty industry for many years working a female dominated side of it. Neither of them were office types in the least.

They all had trouble with co-workers and changed companies frequently within their industry. So I think you are on to something. It is easy to be fake for a 10 min sales job... .but harder to get along with co-workers, boss, etc on a daily basis.

I don't know anyone in real life with a diagnosis. Curious to hear from others.

He was self-employed. He definitely would not have been able to handle an office job. He had difficulty with time management and often had customers "after" him to complete unfinished jobs. He rarely had repeat customers which over time obviously made his living difficult as it impacted his earning ability.
