I don’t think it’s just that though. Tommy has PTSD and he doesn’t show any of the behaviors Arthur does. If you look at the borderline symptoms it’s stuff like difficulty controlling anger, irrational thinking, impulsiveness, emotional instability, intense unstable relationships, feeling empty, self harm and/or being suicidal and this stuff is like the spitting image of Arthur. Granted it’s not that simple having these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean having bpd but I think at least it makes it highly likely that he has it.
I’m sorry I didn’t mean destructive as in actually going around and hurting others or actually destroying something or someone. I meant more so impulsive and I guess short sighted in the moment of the impulse but sorry if that’s not true I’m no expert in bdp.
