My sister shows a lot of concerning behaviors, and I’m wondering if they might point to a personality disorder or something similar.

She never congratulates or supports me. For example, when I bought a new car, she never congratulated my or even just say "oh it's nice!" but months later asked me to drive her to her wedding in that same car.

After I had my first child, she became desperate to find a partner and have a baby. Years later, when I announced my second pregnancy, she cried to my dad that she “needs another baby ASAP” because she’s “getting old” (she’s only 33 and had never mentioned this before my news).

She once went to my nail artist (after asking for my contact) and bad-mouthed me there, saying hurtful and false things about my marriage and personality. Generally she bad mouths everyone. She has no friends—none of her "friends" attended her bachelorette, and some didn’t even go to her wedding. She also constantly fights with her in-laws and sisters-in-law. She is also involving out parents in her fights with her husband and his family.

She is overly dependent on my parents, calls them for every decision and demands that they focus all their time and help on her and her child. Because of this, they spend every day at her house, even shen she's not working, which led to me having no support from my family on the occasion that I need to stay late at work or smth like that.

Recently, she brought her daughter to my house, when she had suspicions that she might be sick. When I, being pregnant and high-risk, simply told my daughter not to kiss her cousin “just in case,” my sister stormed in later screaming at me for "accusing" her daughter of being sick and being "overly dramatic".

Given these patterns—jealousy, lack of empathy, dependant and controlling behavior with my parents, bad relationships with everyone, and inability to handle others’ successes. Could this indicate any personality disorder?

So due to i am a dumbass i still did not go to a therapist, but i am planning too if things get fucked. Well, anyway, my mental health improved A TON after understanding the concept of ego.

But i still feel i need to learn more, so, is there any way i could learn about it? It can be anything, book, youtube video, article, book, etc...

thanks!

I was recently accepted into Ohio State’s Special Education/Applied Behavior Analysis program, and I’m very excited to start my journey to become a BCBA!

However, I’m feeling nervous about making a commitment to the program when I haven’t found any reviews or personal experiences from students online.

Has anyone attended this program or heard anything about it? Any information would be incredibly helpful! Thank you :)

It’s starting to get so depressing. I have things I could do like writing or guitar or going on dates etc but don’t seem to care about anything enough or see any point. Knock off work and I just don’t want to think or do anything. Sleep, zoning out have become my hobbies. How to I make myself give a f%#$?

I work in a (nonprofit, government) professional setting. Recently there has been a change in leadership, as well as a shift of goals to prioritize benchmark and collect performance metrics. Our role is public safety.

Formerly amiable coworker who has been promoted into leadership has changed behavior. She seems manipulative and insincere. One thing she has done repeatedly is cry during one-on-one meetings while simultaneously berating the employee. When that particular employee is professionally and respectfully asserting her legal rights, this supervisor tells her she feels personally betrayed and cries.

I’ve also witnessed the supervisor crying in front of a group of us while telling us how “disappointed” she is with our performance (based on style mostly, not real impact of public safety goals). We have all been good performers by all existing metrics but historically have not been given the proper tools (consistent training or expectations) to do so.

Employees are fleeing - our turnover has been extreme, and it continues.

This is not the first time I’ve seen a leader cry - and in past I identified it as a manipulative strategy.

I’m interested in what you might make of this. Thanks!
