I don’t even know if this is the right place for this. I was curious if anyone actually knew how closely related NPD and BPD are? I’m diagnosed BPD by multiple psychiatrists and therapists. However, some of the people in my life throughout the years have told me I’m being narcissistic or that I’m a full blown narcissist. I know BPD is known to have some NPD tendencies. However, I’ve always resonated with BPD symptoms fully. I don’t have a grandiose sense of self, and I truly do care for the people in my life. Manipulation is unintentional but when it’s pointed out, I can see where their coming from. I don’t know. This is bothering me. Am I tricking myself into thinking I could have NPD instead because I’m listening to someone who literally doesn’t know what I’m thinking, he just sees my behavior and calls it out as narcissistic?
