Symptoms include a disregard for rules and social norms and a lack of remorse for other people.Borderline Personality Disorder, which is characterised by instability in interpersonal relationships, emotions, self-image, and impulsive behaviours.Histrionic Personality Disorder, which features excessive emotionality and attention seeking that often leads to socially inappropriate behaviour in order to get attention.Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is associated with self-centeredness, exaggerated self-image, and lack of empathy for others and is often driven by an underlying fragility in the sense of self.
