Question: Borderline Personality Disorder or Histrionic.? details inside.?
There are two sisters I know diagnosed as BPD and HPD ---The BPD sister is very childish and cannot stand to be outshined and the HPD sister is very funny and passive almost emotionless at times but likes to dress very innapropriatley. I am friends with both, they had screwed up parents, mom didnt care and their father was never around, the BPD sister was the "favorite" and HPD sister got virtually nothing from them. They have a brother but he is never around (never met him) Why would to sisters close in age develop two very different disorders.? What could be the cause.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Both of these disorders originate out of not developing a secure sense of self during the first 3 years of life. Developing a secure sense of self happens out of a healthy bonding and attachment experience with a mother who had her own secure sense of self and who she was.
It is likely the mother of these sisters had her own personality disorder (in one of the many forms).
Sadly to say this becomes an intergenerational problem unless someone undergoes the years of intensive trauma therapy required to break the cycle.

There are a million different factors involved. Doctors don't know what "causes" personality disorders, for one thing. Growing up in the same family does not guarantee identical experiences, as you mentioned.
also, children are born with different temperaments and predispositions. Some people say that people who have BPD are hyper-sensitive to criticism, etc. This could be partially a temperament thing. It could also be due to different experiences either sister might have had. Health Question & Answer
