Covert Narcissism vs Quiet BPD: Key Differences You Should Know | Dr. Daniel Fox

Video Description

Both Quiet Borderline Personality Disorder (qBPD) and covert narcissism share underlying emotional instability and difficulties in maintaining stable relationships. Both individuals often struggle with feelings of insecurity and may resort to manipulative behaviors. Additionally, they may both engage in masking behaviors to conceal their vulnerabilities, though through different means. However, key differences emerge in their expression of narcissistic traits, focus of concern, self-image, interpersonal patterns, and response to criticism. While covert narcissists subtly exhibit traits like superiority and a need for admiration, qBPD individuals typically lack overt narcissism, focusing instead on emotional dysregulation and fear of abandonment. Furthermore, qBPD individuals grapple with fluctuating self-images and intense, unstable relationships, while covert narcissists may maintain a more stable self-image and superficial connections to garner admiration. Critically, qBPD individuals tend to react emotionally to criticism, whereas covert narcissists respond defensively to protect their fragile self-esteem. 00:00 Introduction 00:34 Emotional instability 02:55 Interpersonal challenges 04:05 Sense of insecurity 04:56 Narcissistic ego 07:32 Potential for manipulation 09:13 Overt and covert narcissism 12:13 Masking behaviors 14:27 Expression of narcissistic traits 15:44 Focus of Concern 16:44 Self-image 19:31 Interpersonal patterns 20:59 Response to criticism 22:58 What’s a narcissistic wound?
