Angry, Reactive, Without Empathy: Borderline Personality Disorder

Ross Rosenberg addresses a question from his Self-Love Mailbag: 
1. What prevents individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) from understanding the emotional pain they cause to others?
2. What are the origins of the deep-seated shame experienced by people with NPD and BPD?
3. What are the reasons that individuals with these disorders often struggle to feel empathy for others?
4. What causes the intense fear of abandonment commonly seen in individuals with borderline personality disorder?

Be sure to leave another question to be answered in the next installment of the Self-Love Mailbag.
