Approximately 25% of people with BPD also have NPD. Of course that also means that appprx 25% of the people with NPD also have BPD

The two really do compliment each other, like a horse and carriage. I suspect the two are even more common but people like this rarely seek help. The two combined together still presents the question of is one more dominant then the other in you? Which is more prevalent in you? In my case it's just too close to tell.

How can you tell if you have any narcissistic traits in you? You will know. The biggest indicator is if you ever feel any grandiose or entitlement. Are you constantly involved in thoughts and fantasies of power, wealth, and control? Do you expect or demand admiration? If you have any of these traits, no matter how strong your BPD traits are I am willing to bet you NEVER self harm and are appalled at being considered needy and or clingy. If this makes you ill just hearing this, u may be a Narc too.

So what BPD traits can a narc have? Abandonment is the biggie, it's just we can cover it better. In fact just about all of them except the suicidal, self harm and needy/clingy stuff. Your probably very highly functional verses the conventional BPD. You can thank your narc side for that

Almost forgot the empathy thing. If you can turn it off and on, more off then on, guess what..
