Borderline personality disorder is a person with sudden mood swings, self distructive behavior and very manipulative. Dependent personality disorder is to be fully dependent on a person and to literally focus your life around that person.

People with borderline personality disorder (bpd) fear separation as much as people with dependent personality disorder.

However, the bpd individual has more "unstable patterns of social relationships".

They go from feelings of extreme love and admiration towards loved ones, (which is considered idealization), to the opposite extreme of intense anger and dislike, (termed devaluation). Specifically, one minute, those with bpd are able to form an intense attachment to someone. The next minute, when something happens like a separation the bpd individual believes the other person doesn't care, and loses trust. Responding by rejecting before being rejected, yet still not wanting to be alone.

In short, those with a dependent personality disorder could not even fathom the thought of losing someone. Rejection for them is not an option.

In fact, these people are known to do whatever it takes to keep whoever they are depended on in their lives, even if it hurts them to do so.

Both personality disorders are more common in women than men.
