The Narcissistās Parallel Reality: Fantasies That Look Like Truth
Yes. All narcissists live a life of lie. But itās not as simple as that, because they donāt truly know what is a lie. Instead of lies, falsehood is the more applicable word. A lie is something you know is a lie. A falsehood is a conviction you absolutely believe is true, but is untrue. So itās complex, but ultimately understandable.

Love Bombing and Idealization: The Borderline Dynamic Explained
Love bombing and idealization! Borderlines are notorious for thinking they donāt manipulate others. This is partly because they learned very toxic manipulative behaviors as children that they normalized called maladaptive traits. Borderlines honestly believe they are just extra loving, very honest, very genuine people who wear their feelings on their sleeve. What they simply canāt see or seem to understand is all their expressions of love are manipulative projections to get THEIR NEEDS MET! You could literally be a scum bag abusive narcissistic monster or a complete push over human doormat codependent and they would idealize/ love bomb each person IDENTICALLY. Thatās because like little kids, they think you are suppose to idealize, praise, and love bomb someone you care about. I once had a lunch with a former military buddy of mine and his bpd fiancĆ©. The borderline literally praised him 5 different ways over during the meal. She said āyour the best chef ever, everything you make is perfect, I wish I could cook as wonderfully as you, Iām so lucky to have a husband thatās a chef, everything you do always turns out perfect.ā I literally made eye contact with him during the 4 and 5th love bombing because it got so cringy and so over the top. He was red and embarrassed because she was acting like a 5 year old. We both knew she had no idea what was happening and we both knew deep down she was just a little girl playing adult.

The Role of Consistency in Overcoming Borderline Personality Disorder
Yes! Absolutely but it requires treatment. Bpd does not mean someone has a few emotional issues. Bpd is major mental illness and they require targeted therapy like DBT for a minimum of 7ā10 years before they will notice any major stability. Iāve known several pwbpd who have never stopped going to treatment because they will relapse and regress if they do. Bpd is not the only disorder that requires years of commitment to heal from! Iām personally a recovered addict (18 years sober) with significant war related ptsd. I still go to weekly NA 12 step groups and still see my therapist.
