Hey everybody. I’m wondering if I have NPD along with my already diagnosed bipolar disorder. Reasons I think I have NPD: My single mom only had me and she is a diagnosed borderline. At times she was very abusive (physically, mentally and emotionally). I had to shut down my emotional needs because they couldn’t be met.
I’m emotionally shallow. I remember being abused but I don’t really care or I come up with some excuse or sometimes I don’t think it was that bad, which at time it did get bad.
Borderlines are attracted to me and the attention from borderlines make me feel things I haven’t felt from anybody else.
My last relationship was with a Borderline and she completely destroyed me. 2 years later and the pain she caused me to feel about myself still remains.
Anyways, anytime I mention I might have NPD to any of my docs, they all say the same thing. “People with NPD don’t know they have NPD” yet I see so many self aware NPD’s here. It would really help if anybody could give me their input to settle this argument in my head all of the time. Thank you

I also am accidentally very manipulative (as pointed out by my mom), and I can “talk the talk.” I come off as very witty and I love showing my doctors how well read I am. I don’t ever have evil thoughts or want bad things to happen to anybody but I love impressing people, especially my doctors. Just thought I should add that in there. Thank you for any input received. This has been bugging me for some time.
