Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

It sounds like this person may have a personality disorder. This person would need to seek out psychotherapy for their symptoms to improve. Typically the best way to deal with this is to engage only very minimally with this person, be honest and upfront about how they are making you feel, and encourage them to seek treatment.
