The Most Important Indicators and Manifestations of Narcissistic Borderline Personality Disorder

Are you having a hunch that you or someone you know is having Narcissistic Borderline Personality Disorder?

First let's make a brief introduction in these personality disorders separately than see how can we identify one from the other.

To start out with, the characteristic signs and manifestations of BPD consist of emotional shiftingness, chaotic relationships which are construed on an intense abandonment fear, a profound sentiment of affectional void or deep inner emptiness, marked and/or changeable self-identity, episodes of intense fury, potentially self-harmful impulsive behaviors, paranoid ideation in intensely stressful contexts, and attempts threats or ideation to commit suicide.

The traits of narcissistic personality are comprised by general attitudes of gnadiosity, intense desire for other peoples' admiration, and lack of empathy.

The borderline is coy, fearful, insecure, misses self-confidence, has a lack or highly changing self-perception, dreads the following thwarting, and bursts out into anger when an actual or imaginary thwarting shows up. By contrast, the narcissistic is excessively self-confident, profits from others' hard work disregarding the consequences, does not have empathy, starves for adulation-like admiration from other people, and uses manipulation or blackmail to obtain what he or she wants from other people right now.

Additionally the narcissistic desires express treatment, thinks that he or she is entitled for special privileges without having the virtues, connects only with high status celebrities and disregards others who are under his/her level. Is derisive, doesn't threat to or ideate over committing suicide, and displays no overt anti-social demeanours, contrasting the borderline personality sufferers.

Narcissistic persons put a lot of effort into maintaining their VIP exterior, manifest attitudinal and communicational contempt to others who are less important, and are repulsively bombastic and perfectionists with others.

Interestingly, about three quarters of the borderline sufferers are women, while the same ratio is constituted by narcissistic men.

Overall, narcissistic borderline personality people will have one personality as staple, and the other one providing the particular individuality tints of that person.

So what is the way of distinguishing the many details of these personalities in a person who suffers from both?

The way to go is to find the global and most frequent tendencies, and then to identify the details particular for the secondary traits.

In relationships for example a borderline will leave the impression of insecurity, neediness, shiftiness, and absence of self-confidence, whereas the narcissistic will imply that he or she is the one individual who really matters and all the other people are accessories who just work for him/her.
