I wish we could see it more on the narc board.

JV, going by what he's said on here, kind of comes across as having both issues, although to a PD degree I cannot say...
it depends if it causes him problems in his life, as to whether it's PD or not.
he resents being controlled because of how his mother was toward his father, so he's constantly affirming that's not him, that he's not like his father, by seducing and bedding women, controlling them...
hmmm
you know what. I think you have HPD (ish) issues JV, but with an Aspd not a self-esteem bent.
fundamentally, you use sex to control, and your primary issue is control, not self-worth from what I can see.
but to be honest you don't really come across as Aspd. your control/manipulation is more of the HPD variety, although maybe you're just not telling us about your Aspd lifestyle as much...

Your core issue I think is learning to add value rather than being the sole source of value. So accepting that it's good enough to show your worth by adding to or interacting with what is already there (in a person, interaction, project, anything) rather than by being the sole source of value in a situation. Learning that you can still get your needs met this way.

Why do you claim AsPD with narc traits when right after that you make clear that his MO is of narcissistic and not AsPD style? What seems more likely to me is x condition with AsPD traits because, as you say, the lens and focus he uses is not really indicative of AsPD as his 'core'; He isn't the challenger, per se. Doesn't it make more sense that the AsPD tendencies is being carried by something else that drives him in general?

2. His behaviours. The ways his acting out manifests, are AsPD not NPD. Behaviours are important in dx.
