Thanks a lot, dear Professor! By the way, have you been following the streamlined trial in Kazakhstan? There has been an open process on the murder case, the accused is a Narcissist (he admitted to be one) who beat his wife to death and was indignant how dared she die and give him so much trouble. The peculiar thing about the case is that the murderer is a former minister of Economy of the state, K. Bishimbaev. Would be great if you cover that case as the jury + the judge are to make a decision and it's highly likely he will try to escape justice somehow

hi sam, i just wanted to say that in part thanks to your lectures and what you always say, that the only way to deal with a narc is to go no contact, i am doing just that. before i found your information i never thought it was possible, that i would be forever stuck in that situation, but now everything is different so i am forever grateful for this accesibke information that u constantly put out

I’m diagnosed as borderline, but I don’t understand this attribution that I supposedly feel and emptiness, I never feel lonely or bored , like I feel very entertained in my own company just as much as I enjoy others, like it feels fun if I’m alone and even better if other ppl I like are around. Could I be misdiagnosed or maybe my bpd is mild? Also I don’t engage in self harm and avoid the things that are bad for me like the plague. How can I know if my bpd was accurate or not?

Amazing! The narc I knew would say exactly this. He would say he was having conversations with me in his head, he would always talk about the false self and how he idealised me and would then devalue me. He would tell me that he was my lord! The repeated explanation from you today Sam helps me truly understand this finally. He also forever told me stories where he was the hero.

Great job merging the egos of the psychiatry schools:) It's true that a borderline parent will dysregulate a child, but so will a narcissist parent. I think we dont need to argue that narcissistic people are extremely emotionally dysregulating. Narcissistic parent can cause a borderline defense in child, and borderline parent can cause a narcissistic defense in child too.

Thank you, Sam❤️ As always, in great detail) Please tell me, if the borderline was unable to form a narcissistic defense in early childhood, will it be able to form it as a physically adult person due to the severe pain experienced? and how long will it take for her to return to the borderline state or will the narcissistic defense remain with her forever and she will be able to return to the borderline level only after a collapse? (this question is related to the fear of losing partial empathy forever)

I don't understand one thing clearly enough. The part where borderline becomes narcissist. Is this a regression for the borderline or not? Because if I understand correctly if a narcissist collapses he regresses to the borderline state which indicates that borderline is a more regressive state than narcissism?
@samvaknin4 ай бұрын
The narcissist starts to emotionally dysregulate like the borderline and the borderline becomes dysempathic and grandiose like the narcissist. These are transient reactive conditions.

@@samvaknin So who is more evolved: a borderline or a narcissist? Is a narcissist = borderline + narcissistic defences (false self)? Does that mean a narcissist is more evolved because he has developed a false self? Does borderline not have a false self? Does he develop one when he becomes narcissist even if it is just transient? Or does he for a period of time lose his real self? He does have one right? How about a narcissist? He does have a false self. When he collapses to a state of emotional dysregulation, does he develop a real self even if it is just for limited period of time?

How does this come into play when the narcissistic son’s mother is also narcissistic? Both are borderline? It’s like the mother & son are both emotionally married to each other - they form their own inner circle as husband & wife…stalking others even after 10 years, lying beyond imagination, belittling everyone, vengeful attitude claiming God “punished” the other person (who figured them out & left) for betraying the narcissist.

Question Doc, when the collapse is intensional, and the covert Narcissist self-regulates. Is separating from every external object a way to push pause? Acceptance of others, but avoiding using others by choosing to be alone? Healthy, or not so much?🙂

Thanks, I understand this and I agree. This is why a narcissist prefers to stay and narcissist instead of choosing to 'become' a borderline. As a narcissist yourself, on which basis would you choose to let go of your narcissist defences? Or better which would the reason that would take you to constantly choose to let go of your narcissistic defences?

Narcissism is usually an adaptation to a very competitive enviroment. It is easy to see in show business (Diva behaviour) because they have to compete for gigs and roles very often. That forces them to pretend to be the best all the time.

Under this theory, wouldn’t it stand to follow that a collapsed (“borderlined”) narcissist could be treated by DBT? Seeing as how outcomes seems to show that people with BPD have a high remission rate even in the absence of treatmentment. Would it be that once one has gone as “far” down BPO that narcissistic remnants linger only to rebuild themselves again following collapse (narc. scar)? I remember in a different video of you that (please correct me if I’m wrong) that DBT in a way gives people with BPD some narcissistic defenses to combat the emotional dysregulation?
