♡Disparaged Person (DRP)♡

✧ A Disparaged Person (DRP) is a negative Special Person attachment that occurs with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A Disparaged Person is someone who is more often than not a subject to the person with BPD (pwBPD)’s negative symptoms, and may be subjected to persistent Devaluation or Splitting. This person may trigger fear of abandonment or extreme instability in mood or perception. This could look like someone pwBPD sees as flawed, positive qualities are ignored, while negative traits stand out like a sore thumb. Perhaps their presence alone causes instability in mood or perception. It may also look like someone who has previously abandoned the pwBPD.This could be because they were a Favorite Person or a similar attachment gone wrong.✧

Context:

Special Person Flag:

Meaning: “A special person is an umbrella term for an individual to whom a persodivergent person (or someone with a Personality Disorder/PD) has a particular attachment.”

Favorite Person Flag:

Meaning: “A Favored/FavoritePerson (FVP/FP) is a Special Person attachment experienced by those with persodivergence (or may be a side effect of some medications). A FVP is someone the persodivergent individual holds in such a high regard (In other words, placed on a pedestal) that their FVP is sometimes perceived as being unable to do anything wrong. If this FVP does do something that is percieved as doing something wrong, however, this can lead to splitting.”

Text about splitting (from the link above):

“Splitting is often talked about in Borderline Personality Disorder, but it’s also a feature of other PDs as well.

Splitting refers to when something triggers a switch in a person with a PD’s view of something or someone. This thing or person can be anything or anyone, from loved ones to concepts to items to themselves.

Splitting is a psychological defense against contradiction: if someone is good they can’t be bad, and vice versa. For example, because of childhood abuse, a person sees their mother (their abuser) as entirely bad and their father as entirely good. This keeps them from having to realise that their father may have been complicit in their abuse as well, and that their mother had other factors in her life (usually having been abused as well) that influenced her decision to abuse.”
