Similarities and Differences between Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Although Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder are similar in many ways, they are different as well. Accurate diagnosis and understanding these two disorders can lead to better self-understanding and treatment outcomes.
Similarities
• Both have fear of abandonment and use maladaptive strategies to keep others close but in different ways
• High likelihood of stormy relationships – work, family social
• Impaired insight into behaviors, motivations, and consequences of self and other
• Difficulties with treatment compliance out of fear of change
• Poor boundaries
• Cognitive distortions – believe their behavior dictates all others behaviors, and beliefs
• Need for constant attention
• Idealizing and devaluing
Differences
• NPD tend to have stable self-image, while BPD does not – shifting goals, values, and aspirations.
• NPD - grandiosity, need for admiration or special treatment, and fantasies of unlimited power or importance
• BPD – low value of self, need to connect at an intense level, fantasies of loss, chaos, and impending abuse
• People with NPD expect others’ lives to revolve around them, while those with BPD will revolve their lives around another person
• NPD is associated less impulsive suicide attempts but more lethal and suicide attempts in narcissists are preceded by being fired or experiencing domestic, financial, or health-related problems, or narcissistic wounds.
• BPD suicide attempt is associated with impulsive response to severe emotional pain or a way of communicating distress-abandonment or emptiness. The object of this communication is usually a significant other, family member or a therapist.
