Anonymous asked: would you mind breaking down interpersonal functioning like you did for cognitive dysfunction? Thanks
Answer: Interpersonal is defined as:
in·ter·per·son·alˌ
in(t)ərˈpərs(ə)n(ə)l/
adjective
of or relating to relationships or communication between people.
Interpersonal functioning refers to how and how well we relate, communicate, and build relationships with others. Those relationships can include intimate, romantic, platonic, friendships, family, peers, colleagues, teammember, classmates, employers, employees, etcetcetc
from wikipedia’s article on “Interpersonal Relationships”
A list of interpersonal skills includes:
•Verbal communication – What we say and how we say it.
• Nonverbal communication – What we communicate without words, body language is an example.
• Listening skills – How we interpret both the verbal and non-verbal messages sent by others.
• Negotiation – Working with others to find a mutually agreeable outcome.
• Problem solving – Working with others to identify, define and solve problems.
• Decision making – Exploring and analysing options to make sound decisions.
• Assertiveness – Communicating our values, ideas, beliefs, opinions, needs and wants freely.
With my BPD, there are days when my interpersonal functioning is better and days where it is worse. For an example; sometimes I’m able to accurately and quickly pick up non verbal queues and emotions because of my hypersensitivity, other days I’m heavily misinterpreting non verbal queues because of emotional intensity, separation insecurity, or I outright miss it because of dissociation.
Sometimes I’m better at negotiating because I’m dissociating, other times I’m terrible at it because I’m too aggressive and my emotions are on high. Sometimes I’m better at being assertive because I’m experiencing emotional intensity, other times I’m terrible at being assertive because of separation insecurity.
Since BPD is a personality disorder, it heavily affects how we work with others. Almost all of the symptoms are about how we perceive ourselves and how we perceive others. Both these things affect our interpersonal skills, since interpersonal functioning is ourselves + others.
I hope this helped in some way?
