How A Borderline Tortures A Narcissist
The borderline and the narcissist go together like a river and water. Firstly, the narcissist has an empty core, and is always seeking narcissistic supply. This can come in the form of sex, attention, favours, adulation or just outright energy.
The borderline is infantile and gushing with energy. Too much of it. The borderline is so overwhelmed by emotions, they seek out people to help them regulate their inner state. The borderline also has black-and-white thinking; quick to idolise people, but also quick to demonise them. The borderline also knows how to play the innocent, helpless victim, because they know that gains them support.
In comes the narcissist, dreaming of being important in the world. The borderline provides the ideal, pre-packaged solution in one person. The borderline has been used and abused by ex-friends and ex-lovers. The borderline is helpless in the face of their emotional dysregulation. They need an anchor, a rock to hold them together in the wild storm of their internal chaos.
