People when I have the “leave you before you leave me” abandonment issues and not the people pleasing abandonment issues

[cluster-b-culture-is]

Cluster b culture is being mad that your personality disorders are demonized in media and only portrayed as serial killers in horror movies,,,but also having those same characters being your favorites and projecting your disorder onto them anyways bc "omg they're just like me fr"

the endless cycle of needing others to give you attention while also desiring to be with yourself all the time is so draining. how the fuck do i reconcile requiring fuel for my ego when i don't even like being around people most of the time?

Okay I think this one isn’t bad and here some general descriptions of NPD.

“While someone with NPD’s self-esteem can be off the charts, ironically, it can also be super fragile, dependent on external validation, or self-deception. They’ll believe grandiose fantasies about themselves (i.e. they’re smarter, more attractive, and more successful than everyone they know), easily put other people down, and generally hijack any conversation or situation to make themselves feel better or superior. Feeling “less than perfect” is very uncomfortable for a narcissist, and they’ll protect themselves from it at all costs.”

I decided to get lazy and just put many of many examples:

questioning npd culture is, chat do we feel okay about "self diagnosing" with npd/self-id'ing as a narcissist when you fit the criteria of a diagnosis and know those symptoms cant be explained by anything else you have + know a diagnosed narcissist and you know you think & act alike ?

This is the most pedantic of pedantic arguments, but -

Narcissus didn't fall in love with himself. He'd never seen his own reflection before - he fell in love with a stranger.

As far as Narcissus understood things, he pined for a beautiful stranger and died from the pain of never being able to reach him.

He didn't die from selfishness and self-absorption, he died because he didn't know who he was, because fundamental aspects of himself had been hidden in a misguided attempt to protect him.

N*loth is literally prime NPD representation and that's just how it is. Dat's just how i feel . if iiiiiii hear anyhing ab him needing to be humbled or put in his place i'll just tear my hair out right here and match his look. not even trying to lift him up or defend him i'm just defending the mentally ill skajrim characters nobody wants to understand,

hey im not a narcissist but genuinely narc abuse isn't a thing its an extremely hurtful terminology to use, whatever happened to you was abuse yes but just say abuse. emotional abuse physical abuse sexual abuse psychological abuse are all a-okay real terms that don't hurt anyone!

i used to describe what happened to me as narc abuse because my abuser had NPD among other disorders and those symptoms affected how they abused me but i know better now, it was a mix of emotional psychological and sexual abuse in a fucked up abuse cocktail but again not narc abuse as that's not a real fucking term and it hurts ppl with NPD who aren't abusive and are bettering themselves by placing them under this horrific stigma that narcissists are all horrible evil abusive people

also NPD is literally narcissistic personality disorder a narcissist is a person with NPD you aren't a narcissist if you don't have NPD you're demonising NPD

Narcissistic abuse is a real thing, and I know it's a real thing because psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, outreach support officers, victim advocates, lawyers, therapists and councellors aren't lying.

It's not "just" emotional, physical, sexual abuse, it's a different type of abuse that is perpetrated consistently and intentionally against its victim. The effect it has on its victims is different from non narcissistic abuse, and mental health professionals working on supporting survivors know that the recovery and treatment for people who experienced it is different. It doesn't harm anybody to know and use the term, but it does harm real victims if we pretend it isn't real.

Your abuse wasn't narcissistic abuse because your abuser has NPD. Your abuse was narcissistic abuse because your abuser was narcissistic, and they perpetrated abuse against you for the purpose of satisfying their narcissistic delusion. I'm sorry it happened to you and I'm sorry you've been gaslit into believing that what you experienced as a victim isn't real.

Cluster B culture is wondering if you’ve got a different or additional PD than the one you’re diagnosed/self-diagnosed with

ppl, especially low/no-empathy ppl, who talk to ableist anti-pd cluster b abuse believers with the upmost patience & understanding are so crazy (/pos) for that because what

how do y'all sit there and level w/ them just. so much.

i know it's kind of necessary bcs even if they don't listen to us anyways, they're only gonna think we're 10× worse if we don't walk them through the spiel w/ hands held (which we're not even owed to do anyways) but like i can hardly see myself doing it

so like
