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.
Was there anything your psychologist said that stuck with you, or framed things in a helpful way?
Not really. He was very straight to the point. I only thing that really suck with me is the diagnosis as now I have a piece of paper that makes me look bad if I go to court or if someone does a background check on me
