Objective:
Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) commonly have a favorite person (FP), whom they are heavily emotionally attached to and dependent on. This study aims to identify and illustrate the patterns of destructive FP relationships based on actual experiences described by those with BPD.
Methods:
A data mining process was conducted using raw data collected from online communities, such as blogs and social networks. An in-depth review of the information to better understand the natural course of the FP relationship was also conducted.
Results:
Individuals with BPD form an intense and insecure attachment toward their FP, from which they enormously suffer. FPs can be their friends, romantic or life partners, or family members. As their feelings go beyond their control, being increasingly obsessed with their FP, they make their FP gradually lose hope in continuing the relationship and want to quit trying to fulfill their needs. The relationship finally ends when the FP stops being responsible for meeting their expectations and eventually drifts away.
Conclusion
This study suggests that certain FPs, distinctively named Teddy Bear Person, may behave in a particular manner to increase the likelihood of the FP relationship becoming more destructive. Moreover, the rejection sensitivity model should be discussed to understand their dysfunctional interaction.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to provide health screening for low-income people and early diagnosis and treatment for health risk factors and diseases for the promotion of the health of vulnerable people. This study was also aimed toward the implementation of a comprehensive cancer health screening system to improve quality of life.METHODS: This study was conducted in 1,546 subjects aged >40 years who underwent free cancer screening between February and December 2017 in the Jeollanam-do region. In the first, we performed a survey HBsAg, Anti-HBs, 54 peoples with hepatitis B abnormalities were checked to secondary screening, HBeAg/Anti-HBe, HBV DNA.RESULTS: The overall HBsAb total seropositivity rate was 59.8% (924/1,546), and the HBsAb total seronegativity rate was 40.2% (622/1,546). The HBsAg total seropositivity rate was 3.8% (58/1,546) overall, 1.7% (26/1,546) in the men, and 2.1% (32/1,546) in the women. The HBeAg seropositivity rate was 11.1% (6/54) in the second hepatitis B screening.CONCLUSION: We found that the positivity and negativity rates of HBsAb (Anti-HBs) were similar to those reported in other studies, but the positivity rate of HBeAg was slightly higher in the second hepatitis screening. In future surveys, factors must be analyzed, including an additional investigation of the related health risk factors to confirm the factors that affect diagnosis and initial evaluation results.
