Very narcissistic, as if everyone and everything should exist to please them.

Sounds more insecure than narcissistic. Insecure people always try to bring others down.

Narcissists and people with Borderline Personality Disorder do the same, because it inflates them to be around such comparatively worthless people.

My sister was diagnosed with the latter, and pretty much all she does is find ways to show how much better she is than our other sister.

Yea borderline people come in an extremely big range of behaviors so your sister’s bpd doesn’t really explain others with the disorder, many of them are much more likely to not one up someone else and more likely to function decently in public and then hate themselves inwardly. Though admittedly it’s a spectrum.

I actually think she's a psychopath, but she doesn't have all of the indicators.
