Whether the label matches or not is perhaps not as relevant when you see it from that perspective.

My result was 35/50
"You’re kind of a covert narcissist. You can be pretty self-centered, in other words, but the behavior isn’t out of control."
And yeah I agree with you. I told a former T that I thought I had a personality disorder, but that I couldn't tell if it was more BPD or NPD, explained my reasoning. She flat out disagreed about me having BPD, and wouldn't give me a straight answer on her thoughts about the possibility of NPD. I often feel that I have a mixture of both, at least from material that is more sympathetic of the disorders (as opposed to considering narcs and borderlines to be crazy monsters).
I think it's just how I cope, and then I cope with how I cope by not forming friendships anymore.
