I don’t know if “emotional permanence” is a real psychology thing, made up for pop psychology; or been hidden in real psychology for a while, but I have the opposite problem as people with BPD regarding emotional permanence.
It hurts seeing psychology being damaged by pop psychology. I’m at a point where unless someone has been diagnosed with something themselves or they are doctors I don’t want to hear anyone talking about mental disorders; I’ve even regained myself just to prevent conversations from starting.Someone told me that sociopathy is no longer classified under ASPD. I said “I don’t think that’s true” and was patronized on how “psychology changes”. Yes it changes, but as the conversation transpired while I was literally looking at the most recent edition of the DSM; a sociopath by definition has ASPD, and when we throw this technical language wherever we see fit even when it's wrong we run the risk of doing damage.
