My entire life I've struggled with figuring out if I'm actually special and uniquely talented or just a narcissist. Probability would say narcissist but various external events like test scores, comments from professors, grad school admissions, etc. point the other way and it's just extremely confusing

Borderline personality is part of the same cluster as narcisistic personality. Borderline personalities tend to hold feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt and of "being an imposter" behind a façade of grandeur.

Narcisist make for better pseuds, since they like to surround themselves with sycophants and only engage with people they believe are special like themselves. Borderlines have a more generalized need for approval, and they are plagued by the possibiity of not being special. Interestingly, borderline abusers can be emotionally dependent on their victims.
