In this video I discuss how jealousy and envy relate to the expression of borderline personality disorder traits and components.

Which do you think is more impactful for those with BPD?

Envy is a two-person situation whereas jealousy is a three-person situation. Envy is a reaction to lacking something. Jealousy is a reaction to the threat of losing something (usually someone).

BPD factors related to jealousy:
• Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment J
• Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self. E
• A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships with extremes of idealization and devaluation. J & E
• Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). J & E
• Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior. J & E
• Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days). J & E
• Chronic feelings of emptiness. J & E
• Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights). J & E
• Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation - occurs most frequently in response to a real or imagined abandonment. J & E
