Has anyone had their bp have a personality like the opposite sex I don't mean he wears dresses but had a personality like a woman? Like he wants to stay home cook clean do all the childcare, plays coy, bats his eyelashes, plays the weak card, like I am afraid of her physically scared attitude,even though I am 110 lbs and he is 230, constantly primps, does his eyebrows everyday, doesn't want to have any outside life or friends, you know he never wants to hang out with guys he actually only has a few friends and they are all women, even his choice of movies is romantic comedies, my mom thinks he is in the closet, but I just think he behaves in a feminine way not gay, I mean he really wants men to open the door for him at a store or if a woman is carrying something heavy he doesn't step in to help and he talks baby talk to the extreme, I always think of women as acting like this?

Its as though he wants everyone to treat him with deference because he is small, fragile, sensitive, yet he is this big masculine looking guy,

PwBPD tend to have an unstable sense of self or self-image. They have sudden and dramatic shifts in their goals, behaviors, and values. They can be "chameleon like" by mirroring and adapting to different environments. Through mirroring and mimicking, they gain a fragmented sense of self.
