One of the best insights I have ever heard about the BPD after mortification: “Either YOU have to disappear or they do.” Explains so much irrational behavior. Thank you, Dr. Vaknin!
I am completely obsessed with your channel professor. I suspect that I am a borderline and have been listening to every word you have said about borderlines several times over. Your videos have provided me a real breakthrough to understand who I am and make sense of my toxic behaviors that I can't control most of the time. Thank you for breaking all of this down so thoroughly. Your the only person I have been listening to for weeks.
Super good stuff, Sam. Thank you. It makes clear how a sweet but sometimes emotionally struggling former partner easily abandoned her decades-long narc husband and all their friends, moved away briefly, pursued me, then years later abandoned me and all our friends. She would even say, 'It's strange... I don't miss him or our friends at all.' Naturally, her ex wreaked all kinds of narc Hell thereafter, some of it criminal, but we weathered it. She once asked during an emotional struggle, what was wrong with her and I remember saying that it seemed her personality maybe needed a little 'defragging' like files on a hard drive. Eventually, even our friends could see that she was disassociating as she began making paranoid accusations just before abandoning us all returning to her narc ex. I was a 'designated rescuer' then and have since learned to use better boundaries. Once I understood love-bombing and the npd/bpd dance, her eventual hoover was pretty easy to dismiss. No more drama roller coasters for me. Again, thanks for your deep insights and invaluable lessons.

'designated rescuer'* , I like the term, for the past year I slowly became exactly that for a new lady 'friend'. It took me about 3 months to realise that something is off, and about another 3 to try to put together What The Hell Is Going On. My first guess went leaning towards DID, but slowly it became an educated guess that is more akin to BPD. Unbelievable experience. Excruciating and heart wrenching. * - the exact quotes from her towards me would be 'you are my medicine (and I think I love you)' and 'you are the one I need'. Both in what I reckon were distinct love-bombing phases.
First time ever I have made a comment on the internet ....I'm 49 and have the privilege to be able to express gratitude for the journey I have had with my partner for 27 year... I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart... For the time you spent doing this voluntary to help people . I am not educated so please if the gramatik is not correct try to read between the lines ❤
Yes. I always wondered why we always were so strongly drawn together for years. I'm too emotional and it's hard at times to regulate my emotions which sets him off often in rages. However, he said it's one of the reasons why he loves me. He would always say "you being so emotional makes me feel somewhat normal." We went years too with the mutual fear of one of us abandoning one another. We both had the same fears of intimacy and abandonment but we behave differently in our defenses. I was smothering and he was distant. But when I pulled away as BPD's do, he would chase and triggered his fears and would love bomb.
Damn, what a load of fun that must be. Sorry. I know it's actually difficult, I just can't help rolling my eyes at the irony of the NPD/BPD dynamics.. surely, a match made in heaven... or hell, whichever you prefer.
Thank you for articulating what I seem to just start to understand about myself and most of my relationships. Very embarrassing to say the least I'm just grateful for the clarity and being honest with myself .
Sam. You have opened up a part of me, that I have been in desperate search of. You are so dead on, in fact, you explained me- better than I could explain myself. I do things, and just couldn’t figure out why I am so destructive. Impulsive. Emotional. Why I feel like nobody understands me. I’ve always felt like my emotions were so much more heightened than everyone else’s. I dissociate . I hate how I’ll be immature, like a goofy child- it embarrasses me. I didn’t realize until now that that’s actually my false self. I have so so many questions for you. I was raised by an extremely narcissistic mother, enabler father that I believe isn’t even himself anymore. I was the scapegoat without a doubt but mom says I’m “her favorite” 😂 WHAT. I 100% believe my golden child little brother was abusing my daughter sexually- and that my parents covered it up purposefully. They adopted my daughter because I’m an addict. I believe I was made to be an addict- they put me in psych hospitals and rehabs before I ever tried drugs. I was a shy nice sweet girl, I really was. I still am, minus the shy part lol. My 5 month old son somehow suffocated when my mom was watching him 2 years ago. It haunts me. I feel like maybe it was purposeful? Maybe not? Some say it doesn’t matter because my son is gone, but it matters to me. My thoughts and emotions are rampant, I’m dissociating, self destructing, don’t know what to do- where to start to make it stop. I’m begging you to please help me. Thank you Sam 7:46
My false self is very passive aggressive. I like to be alone, but always feel I need a reason other than myself to live for.. a baby, a boyfriend, a partner, a husband. Very dissatisfied with everything and everyone. I don't like something I let it go easily. I long but I'm afraid. Breaking out has been crazy ASF.
I never understood why my ex, spoke of the judgements he received from his exes, with such pride. Now i realize it's his way of unveiling conveniently, and seeing the truth about himself, without actually admitting that he exist daily in a false-self. Wow, narcissist are some twisted beings...
I only seem to be attracted to narcissistic men. I distinguish early in the dynamic, that he is a narcissist but I stick around until devaluation and then I paint him black as well & seek out his replacement. I see his Hoovers as a ego boost but I know it’s fleeting so I relish in the idea, he didn’t destroy me. I’m still here.
Lol relate. I USED to literally think: I’m an apex predator, hunting the hunter when Narc men would try live bomb & try entrain me with underhanded slights disguised as compliments. I’d smile on the inside, pretend to take the bait, pretend fawning & proceed to eff them up busting their fantasy bubbles & playing dumb about it. Which in itself i realised was messed up. Pretending like I wasn’t hurting myself… and living the past & not making choices to have the real experiences I want to have instead. Choosing to recover was like dying. Excruciating
Being aware that BPD occurs within a spectrum, how realistic are the probabilities of a BPD person to have a relative successful relationship if under the proper treatment?
How does Co-Morbid BPD-NPD (often covert NPD) fit into this analysis which shows an inverse internal-external mortification process. Generally this being a rather common pair in co-morbidity may pose a theoretical issue in such a dichotomy. Considering a spectrum of behaviours & shifts along cluster B symptoms how a double dynamic can be constructed to accommodate opposing behavioural patterns....& finally is there a treatment at all, as likely BPD treatments may not be effective here.
I've found that with Sam's overwhelming knowledge on these topics, that instead of picking and choosing "pertaining" info from specific videos, I just watch them all! If anyone is dealing with ANY piece of these issues, they're gonna need ALL the information.
@@YOUAreTheSecretToLife This is a good example of crazy talk, or I call it circular talking. No actual information is given, just circular talking. This happens when you know someone wants a fact but instead of just providing said fact, the person strings a circular conversation. And now, I am sucked into your world. I'm going no contact. Thank you for helping grow.
@@Chris-0113 Lol. At the very least I would say I was controlling and a blamer but not certifiable. I sense a little blaming and gaslighting, and failure to realise you own baggage. You are obviously a classic Narcissist. :D
Sam can you please do a video on borderline men? My ex boyfriend seemed initially what you describe as a covert doormat but when I discovered he had been lying to me he turned into some type of psychopath ..devoid of empathy. I later talked to his ex wife who told me he had been diagnosed a borderline after a suicide attempt after she discovered he was a porn addict. Both of these things he hid from me. If you could do a video on a borderline waif man and how he abuses and cons I would appreciate it.. I’m still trying to understand what happened.
I feel like Nine Inch Nails should sample some of your lecture work in their music. I don't know if it's the name, but I always want to listen to some nin after watching one of these videos haha.
It’s almost as if the narcissist heals us through our emotional trauma from them. I ran from fear when he hurt me and abused me and lied. He ran also. It’s almost like you use yourself through them to get validation.. then when your done your done.. so the narcissist stays the same but you change what your attracted too.. it’s werid. I manipulated myself into getting validation from a empty vessel and stayed .. because I thought I needed someone to love me. He is abusive and manipulation and etc .. but why can we change, why don’t the narcissist along with all there other traits .. they have tons of traits but they mirror back your co dependent issue and wanting to be loved .. but they don’t really have that.. or I guess some do.. but there shame forces them not to change or want help. Sometimes they run from you because your the shame which I know I showed mine him. Freaked out
After listening to all that, I can see why people run from them. I have a family with autism which is also on the dsm, but being the daughter of a mother who behaves like this, its no wonder we have gone no contact ourselves. Thank you for all that Sam.
Thank you Sam for reading that excerpt from the book. Not sure what she was until the discard. She loved elephants and had a snake tattoo. I may be grasping at straws. Feel bad for the kids left in the wake of her suicide while moving on to the next and being wifed up. To bad the guy has my similar characteristics. Same truck, motorcycles, first name and quiet personality.
@@samvaknin I have been in a relationship of some sort not a conventional one by any sort ,I've been with her for 28years I've become codependent ,as I have high functioning autism and I am learning more and more about her and all her traits unfortunately for people with high functioning autism they too persistent at trying to make relationship work and with her age mid 40s and alcohol abuse and her self destructive behaviour and random sexual behaviour is getting worse . And I would like to thank you very much I only wish I knew then what know now.
Thank you, Sam, for yet another enlightening video. If I may pls ask, why the Borderline seeks mortification to feel alive yet her main preoccupation is to NOT be?
@@samvaknin omg... BPD woman here and as I pulled away from my ASPD boyfriend because I sensed him loving me differently I remember thinking that I missed the days when I fit inside of him.
Thank you for your videos. I believe my heart finally broke so hard that my Borderline self left me. I’m not scared of losing anyone. I forget large chunks of time. Lol did you mean mercury retrograde.
My husband was so abused I can hear his little boy. He grew me. He is immune to pain. He’s still prisoner both ways. I wonder do I report his father? Yeah, both of our inner children are about 12. He’s SUPER loyal to his abuser. I have did and secondary psychosis. People say my voice gets different and I don’t know. We married, but every time he flirts I know he lies cause his voice changes. I had borderline due to trauma too. We were just triggering each other…he left me here and is in prison. I switched, we got so mean, but I’m sure he lied too. Under the bus. I can’t think about anything else and feel hopeless
But Sam there has to be a way for the narcissist to revert to the true self. The methods may be unconventional. Majority of them would never even bother, but some of them, who are aware of their tendencies would explore such methods. Isn’t it?

Adrienne Kneebone I reckon it has to appear complex like a jigsaw puzzle... but no matter the situational differences, at the end of the day it’s a shared fantasy to discard. To trigger the biggest and worst abandonment wound or ego death to the level that the false self dies, and the true self hidden behind narcissistic walls is released.
From my personal experience: the male borderline feels complete with a female narcissist because she makes him feel validated with her excessive idealization and love bombing. The female narcissist greatly enjoys the narcissistic supply provide by the borderline’s intense idealization.
internally mortified.. why does this video seem to abruptly end? I am entitled to see a full video. No kidding... Question: Can someone with ASD be influenced to express BPD or NPD traits, as in brainwashed (by hyper focusing on your video's for example), into a certain mindset and then start to show certain behaviors as explained in your video's. OR is that person possibly an ASD with an undiagnosed BPD/NPD and then someone (external object) entering the shared fantasy and destroying it from the insight through mortification and then exiting the scene leaving the person completely shattered???
A borderline with ocd wouldn't forget the favourite person when out of sight isn't it, and would obsess on the narcissist to annihilate and forget herself so she is not of importance to her own self?
I have BPD and I’m obsessed with my favorite person, an ASPD man. I started pushing him away when the love bombing started to lighten up and turns out I pushed a little too hard and now he’s giving me the silent treatment. The other day I thought I was going to lose my last shred of sanity bc he was so much all that I could think about it was so overwhelming.

Absolutely splendid. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
thank you for you insight, your true plunge into pathology.
I'd like to understand in basic terms how they truly compliment each other.. as basic as lego or a jigsaw puzzle?
Adrienne Kneebone I reckon it has to appear complex like a jigsaw puzzle... but no matter the situational differences, at the end of the day it’s a shared fantasy to discard. To trigger the biggest and worst abandonment wound or ego death to the level that the false self dies, and the true self hidden behind narcissistic walls is released.
From my personal experience: the male borderline feels complete with a female narcissist because she makes him feel validated with her excessive idealization and love bombing. The female narcissist greatly enjoys the narcissistic supply provide by the borderline’s intense idealization.
In reference to the entire video: you are not wrong, Mr. Vaknin.
Oh, he knows ;)
Thank you.
internally mortified.. why does this video seem to abruptly end? I am entitled to see a full video. No kidding... Question:
Can someone with ASD be influenced to express BPD or NPD traits, as in brainwashed (by hyper focusing on your video's for example), into a certain mindset and then start to show certain behaviors as explained in your video's. OR is that person possibly an ASD with an undiagnosed BPD/NPD and then someone (external object) entering the shared fantasy and destroying it from the insight through mortification and then exiting the scene leaving the person completely shattered???
A borderline with ocd wouldn't forget the favourite person when out of sight isn't it, and would obsess on the narcissist to annihilate and forget herself so she is not of importance to her own self?
OCD has to do with anxiety-reducing rituals, not with memory or with object or with object constancy.
I have BPD and I’m obsessed with my favorite person, an ASPD man. I started pushing him away when the love bombing started to lighten up and turns out I pushed a little too hard and now he’s giving me the silent treatment. The other day I thought I was going to lose my last shred of sanity bc he was so much all that I could think about it was so overwhelming.
I'm feeling very empathetic with crash dummies.
