The Borderline Narcissist

It is not uncommon that a narcissist will also have borderline personality traits. The personality disorders of NPD and BPD exist on a continuum based on how wounded the individual is and how disconnected they have become from their true self. The Borderline Narcissist will tend to have an inner world that is mostly borderline with extreme emotional dys-regulation which is clingy and with a major fear of abandonment while having an outer shell that is narcissistic and extremely cold. Victims of this type of personality are caught trying to please their abuser and calm their emotional pain with a pervasive fear of leaving and becoming the scapegoat and being narcissistically abused.
