The BPD and Narcissism Connection #shorts #psychology

Maybe it’s c-ptsd then.
No, I don’t exploit others and I don’t justify exploiting others because I’ve been terribly hurt.
I will say it pisses me off that 1 I was so horribly mistreated but then I’m the monster for what I’ve endured. Bull shit!!!

I just realized this pattern about myself and it's killing me.😭😭 every video I watch about bpd I'm like omg it's me!! But I don't even know what to do with the information

Girl I was with said she needed time away to focus on her kids and doesn’t go online anymore yet constantly posts on Instagram.

I have a few BPD friends. Two are non-exploitative and two are not. They could be but they actively choose not to be.

What a BS. You might have some disorder yourself cause you're so up in your s and completely miss the mark

It’s like they’re emotional narcissists

He is so right. I had childhood neglect some abuse. I didn't talk about it. Yet, my x husband.. He did talk about his childhood pains.. Now I know. He was telling me the reasons why I was going to have a miserable life.

Borderlines don’t exploit other people borderlines have NOTHING to do with narcissist yah this slow 🤣 NARCISSISM IS A DEFENSE MECHANISM for us borderlines and exploit people for your benefit imma borderline I don’t even know how to take advantage of people 😂like seriously Empaths are angels 😇

That's what some nations have done to other nations or cultures...

Thats defo me i was dianosed wen i was 18

There are different types of BPD. I believe 2 out of the 4 only correalte with Narcassim. How can you be this ignorant on BPD? Guys please go to MedCircle for actual advice and education

I tick all 9 boxes of BPD, but this what you describe couldnt be further from who i am

Bullshit... Not all of us... You got it all wrong... Click bait....

In all fairness I think BPD’s have the capacity to recognize the buck stops here, so to speak. I don’t know that narcissists are truly capable of reaching that conclusion.

I have BPD and not my experience and many other people I have been in therapy with ,it's on a spectrum and NPD is not part BPD criteria, I have never taken from other people Quite the opposite!

So what is it, if you constantly feel like exploiting people, for example going to the doctor, asking my boyfriend for help, not delivering work because of period pain and so on. It gets very confusing in my head to be honest.

What about narcissists who say they have empathy? Is that a real thing? Selective empathy is not real empathy for me so idk how narcissist saying thst they have empathy goes togethe? Im confused

The B in BPD is borderline, which means it borders on many other personality disorders, symptoms, presentations, and signs. This is why at times it seems like narcissism because we don't have a true sense of self. As a 47 womam with BPD and CPTSD we don't enjoy or use our victimhood ive never forced others to do anything. I feel this as a short is a generalisation

What about am empathetic emotional unstable multi personality disorder person x ? Could really do with ur help on massive issue u might find interesting c

Are you qualified?

The main difference is that narcs are always narcs while a BPD is a narc, a psychopath and a loving empathic partner all at once and that they are in fact geniunely all of these things.

It's nice to know that I don't have BPD.

You need some education sir. PERIOD.

Look who's the one going on a nutty rant here? I've had therapy, looks like you need it more.

Narcs have telepathy powers
Crazy right?

They know facts and technical jargons

Impossible

Telepathy is not scientifically proven

Also saw mental illness cause people to think others are hearing thoughts

Explanations for this?

bpd is a spectrum, childhood trauma, fear of abandonment, emotion deregulation, you know nothing about bpd

are you a (specialist in personality disorder) psychotherapist? no your not, follow daniel fox to learn about narcism and bpd an actual psychotherapist

No not true yes bpd is manipulative and yes they believe they are a victim but it's not necessarily conscious.

I really believe I have bpd bit I have never exploited others, if I don't have bpd what is it?

Every BPD I know is an abuser.

Bpd is npd without a self

Very, very few people in general are able to acknowledge to themselves or anyone else that they are exploitative. Highly narcissistic people are not self aware at all. It’s much more easily determined by their behavior than by self reporting on how exploitative they are. But even then, the person observing their behavior must be free of biases, which absolutely no human is. Therefore, I guess nobody can determine who is and isn’t a narcissist.

First of all your page says "narcissistic abuse" and there is no such thing in psychology terms. It's just abuse. Second of all psychopath isn't a diagnosis but a set of personality traits.
I say all of this to say it is clear to me you have no degree to be speaking on this..yes BPD often involves exploitation and can include narcissistic behaviors but it's not always. It's more complex than thinking a person has a right to take from others for your own benefit.

There's convert narscissism

I am diagnosed bpd, I don’t logically think I have the right to exploit, but I catch myself doing it because of insecurities and hate myself for it. Is this same same?

Bpd are acting out of pain, fear and confusion,
npd are acting out of wanting narsissistisk supply.
Bdp are entitled in getting answers." Why did you say that " respond to me" they're kind of paranoid and hurt.
Narsissists are entitled just for existing believing everything should fall into their lap. See the difference? I can se this guy is very agitated, probably been fighting with a bpd , but still. If you don't know the difference between npd and bpd, don't make videos about it.

Over the past 10 years I've made a lot of progress.. And I probably used to feel much more like a victim back when I was younger and more naive, and before I knew much about psychology.. Today, I still get anxiety and abandonment issues that overcome me on occasion.. But I'm much better prepared to deal with them and him far from a victim or exploitive. That's although I have gotten better.. I still do struggle. I think BPD has a lot more to do with the abandonment issues and panic than it does with purposely trying to be exploitive

Great post! Very informative, and it sparked so much good non-dehumanizing discussion in the comments!! (Sarcasm)

BPD and Narcs will treat you the same way, but for different reasons and with different intent. But it changes virtually nothing.

Bpd here I'm neither a victim or entitled

I wish I'd never been born. I don't want to exploit anyone.

Someone with BPD can be manipulative without feeling like they have the right to be, so it's a bit unhelpful to say "If you don't experience the stereotypical thoughts and feelings of Insert Disorder you don't have it at all"

I had a 10 month relationship with a narcissist. I have bpd. I was so disgusted with him I was able to see through some of my own narcissistic tendencies. It was brutal but It’s life changing.

Anyone saying “X cannot be related to narcissism because Y” is wrong! Anyone can be a narcissist unfortunately

I don't exploit, steal, whenever. I just need a lot of support. Mentally and physically I'm going through debilitating things. I appreciate the assistance I recieve. I appreciate my adopted family for housing me. I appreciate my man for supporting me and the house.

Very well said.

They’ll design against you until the day they die. Because they were designed against. You’re in the middle. NSB

I will advise you to enroll in the Psychology degree program, there is lots of great material for you to read and get to know the difference between NPD and BPD, not only that but a path to get immersed in psychology itself.

By the way, BPD and NPD are not the same given that BPD is not egosyntonic.

Close.... Not always. Nice try.

Here we go ! Even the professionals don't know how to diagnose BPD. Let's not forget that people don't ask to have a mental illness and we certainly don't ask to experience trauma. Stop vilifying people.
