The brand new group B’s identification problems was comparable- but out of my experience- Andrea you’re not informed regarding difference between good Borderline and a great Narcissist. You have zero feelings or he could be extremely shallow, additional enjoys deregulated feelings (the new BPD) I’m Men identified as having BPD- Experienced cures for over 3 years, and you may DBT almost a year. The lack of sympathy was unique- the shortcoming to understand my means- very unfulfilling. Following arrived the latest background abuse/fuel bulbs. This individual actually ravaged my personal heart and soul. Borderlines is going to be nice- compassionate and you can giving, and start to become most codependent. I concluded which matchmaking nearly cuatro in years past- ran into therapy half a year upcoming getting anxiety and stress. It actually was fundamentally reveled that i suffered from an identity infection myself- which have seven of the nine qualities on the DSM IV. We consider myself toward a lot of time way to recovery out of BPD- but allow me to create clear for your requirements- borderlines and you can narcissists won’t be the same!

Hello Peter, Rosie here,nice to generally meet you. I completely go along with you one to NPD and Borderline’s are other. NPD’s let you know an entire looking for a wife albanian shortage of sympathy and never understand new requires of anybody else. If you’re a good BPD and have now associated with a good NPD you’ll be shed especially when inside the a connection. We tend to think me personally are a great borderline(and may even feel) but never recognized. The newest Narcissist in my life is my brother just who generated my personal in great amounts since i have is actually an infant. We pick myself just like the a compassionate, delicate individual that have high sympathy to many other people’s soreness however, are and additionally a custodian that is not always a good point. I have problems with anxiety and also done most of the my life and therefore has actually trigger significant depression every so often. BPD is no longer named a psychological issues that we get a hold of difficult to understand but there’s another type of DSM V removing BPD regarding book. I might have many traits regarding BPD and question if, personally, it my personal problems had been down seriously to with so it NPD in my members of the family. I’m very sorry to listen this man caused your thus much suffering and i also should your better on your journey to recuperation. We concur that Borderlines and NPD’s is its different, in fact, he could be on reverse ends of spectrum. Wishing your well Peter or take care and attention, Rosie.

Thank-you carry out far Andrea– understanding your own article, as well as the ‘targets/victims’ off Narcissists in the reactions – I can seriously select which have. Rosie BPS is still detected as a cluster B identity diseases regarding the DSM V- this has been improved along side DSN VI not. The fresh new Narcissist I knew was actually hitched- had around three kids. Remaining brand new wife shortly after 23 years. Upcoming proceeded having a reputation on the gay community, in which someone eventually ignores him (just punishment) The guy however ‘hoovers’ available for myself on very subliminal ways- however, We advised him so you can their deal with in the zero not sure terminology he was indeed NPD. His answer? ‘OH’ -regular. One should learn that particular evil do can be found available to choose from. I once the a beneficial Borderline are creating of a lot dilemmas to own myself- alienated many- but I do not have the types of fuel an excellent narcissist has-
