Title: Just something interesting I read on a site
Post by: reallyME on April 12, 2007, 05:16:57 PM

Before a borderline can break through this narcissism he/she must be willing to face not only his/her fears and woundedness (pain) but also the very real fact that he/she cannot find and be his/her real/authentic self without learning to live with the vulnerability that it means to be who one actually is. Learning to be vulnerable and learning how to protect oneself through the mature defenses that include boundaries, limits, and self-assertion is the only way to undo the narcissistic tendencies that living outside of your authentic self creates.

Hey rM, thats very interesting stuff, I always wonder if Nism has rubbed off on me too much or that Ive got some kind of borderline thing going down, I feel ok though so perhaps im just a bit paranoid!  :shock:   :D
