Haydeh Faraji, Ahmet Ertan Tezcan Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a disorder in which a widespread and chronic imbalance prevails in the individual's sense of identity, relationships, emotions, behaviors and cognitive patterns. A borderline patient is someone who stretches a thin rope as a border to the point of separation between himself and the other and tries to stay balanced on it. What makes him do this is sometimes loneliness, sometimes inner distress and sometimes the feeling of emptiness that the patient directly expresses. An important problem expressed by patients is that they do not understand themselves, what they want and that they are not understood even by those closest to them in life.

With the changing conditions of the modern world, the rate of borderline personality disorder has increased significantly and continues to increase. The purpose of this book is to convey the experiences of individuals on the borderline, which gives borderline personality disorder its "borderline", both with its theoretical roots and daily life counterparts, and to respond to the borderline patient's desire to be understood.

Our personality, our inner world; we liken it to the sea and space. No matter how deep we try and analyze, it is not possible for us to fully understand and analyze it. Personality; our thoughts, speech, and how we act. Our personality is responsible for our harmony with the environment. Our characteristics, impulses, habits, attitudes and attitudes, moral characteristics, social relations are a skill of our personality. There are many factors that shape human nature. These include the forces of our inner world, spiritual forces, the effects of the outer world, and the conditioning of our environment. By addressing all these in this book, we wanted to make a small contribution to the journey from the problematic world inside and outside of us to a better world.

Hatice Topçu Ersoy Narcissism appears in many areas of our lives today. In close relationships, in professional
settings, and in social life, we frequently encounter self-centered individuals. With the modern
world’s growing “me first” mentality, this reality has become even more visible.
Given these facts, it is important to acknowledge that a life completely free from narcissistic
relationships is simply not possible. We must learn to live with self-focused
individuals—sometimes under the same roof, in the same workplace, and in the same world.
The solution is not to run away but to understand; not to label but to cultivate empathy; not to
fight but to set healthy boundaries; and most importantly, not to ignore but to focus on
transforming problematic patterns of communication.
Enriched with case examples drawn from therapeutic experience, insight-building exercises,
and practical communication strategies, this book is written to help you maintain healthy

relationships with the self-centered individuals in your life—without falling into blame,
without burning out, and with increasing awareness and strength.
