BPD is a mental health condition that has been unfairly stigmatized. People with BPD respond to high-quality treatment. Short-term treatment can be appropriate for BPD. When I meet with a new client and give the feedback that they meet the criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD), I always caution them to take what they see on the internet with a grain of salt. Myths about BPD abound—from articles indicating that this condition is "untreatable" to someone in the comments suggesting that their ex "definitely has BPD."

Benign envy and malicious envy are two very different emotional and behavioral states that lead to different outcomes. In benign envy, a person who feels envious or jealous of another person uses that jealousy constructively to fuel their own goals. In malicious envy, a person who is jealous or envious goes out of their way to deliberately undermine someone else’s success in an attempt to belittle and diminish them and “one-up” them to gain power and control. Research reveals that people who have narcissistic and psychopathic traits engage in malicious envy – envy that is destructive and aggressive. Here are four subtle behaviors you may notice if a narcissist is jealous or envious of you.
