I disagree with equating a cluster B personality disorder with emotional immaturity. That connotes that they can indeed grow out of it. How many of us that have been in relationships with these people hung on and continued to commit way too much of our lives with this hope? Emotionally deficient is a much more accurate descriptive.
Still it’s great to have more tools to see these things in ourselves and others. Thank you.
