NPD and BPD

Postby Mirrors » Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:04 pm

So from what I understand the main difference is that the borderlines failed to cope and build proper defense mechanisms and therefore suffers deeply inside while the narcissist built proper and reliable self defense-mechanisms but suffers the same abondonment issues.

Its quite a mind paradox because the N has the B "pathological child" but different mechanisms surrounding such well, I don't really know you get the idea i'm no psychologist lol.

So who 'wins' at the dating game, the narcissist or the borderline?
"I do not point to the evil and pain of existence with the finger of reproach, but rather entertain the hope that life may one day become more evil and more full of suffering than it has ever been."
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Normal wins all "games"... that is what the theory of evolution, formalized by Charles Darwin, says.

I heard the term "the other side of the mirror" which described BPD in relation to NPD.
"what doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead.

Mirrors, I'm not even sure of what you're really getting at here. I have seen enough of your trolling of the BPD boards to know that this is not a serious post.

Therefore, this will be a locked thread.
