Very interesting . . . thanks Quintal. I think I share some of the traits that you describe for yourself. I definitely would say that I'd fall more in the hypervigilant subtype. This especially hits home: neutralising devaluation by seeing others as unjust abusers
I also liked this:
"I've read that traits of NPD are a sign of recovery from BPD, because it shows the emergence of a sense of self."
Maybe that's why I always felt a bit of affinity with BPD, even though I don't think I am. I've also struggled with my sense of self, and sometimes it seems so fragile and needing of (too aggressive?) protection.
Thanks for helping me learn more about this.
