When I was 20 I was diagnosed by a psychologist with having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At first I was in denial about but over time I come to terms with my narcissism and the diagnosis started to make sense to me. A lot of my problems can be traced back to my unrealistic self image and lack of ability to relate with others.
There’s a lot of stigma towards NPD. I hope by making this thread I can help others understand that having NPD doesn’t inherently make you a bad person and NPD hurts the person with it as well.
I see this thing a lot. People think that anyone they don’t like has NPD. I wonder how they would feel if a loved one told them they had NPD?
This is a great observation. I find it absolutely amazing how many spouses of my friends spontaneously develop NPD as soon as they separate.
It’s almost like…. there’s no disorder, it’s just anger at an ex partner, but using sciencey words is supposed to bolster their case.
This happens all the time these days. You don’t feel empathy your an "empath"🙄, your mom didn’t tell you to go to sleep on a school night she “verbally abuse” you and “triggered your trauma”, you have an interest in something more then your average person does? now you’ve a “hyperfectation” ect… ect…
It’s weird how “mental health awareness” MFers will completely change the record when it comes to cluster B personality disorders or the none hacking wholesome big chungus mental illness’s like pychopathy, BPD and schizophrenia. Nowadays, “schizophrenia” just means weird or doing something differently and “autism” just means the same thing.
