#NARCISSISM

[uwufollia]

"Mental health matters!!" mfs when they see a person with NPD

Leftism is when you take narcissism and give it steroids.

maybe, when your comments get you called out by the united states holocaust memorial museum, instead of doubling down and claiming that people are just “hating”, you could realize it’s time to do some reflection

"Empathy is what makes us human" Dawg you caught me I'm secretly a platypus

[npdculture]

npd culture is forced to "oh no i'm so sorry that happened to you!" to maintain image but born to "shut up shut up shut up og my godddd i don't care" (can i claim🎧)

I'm getting so sickkkkk of people online using "narcissist" as a way to say controlling and abusive. I will admit myself that I used to be part of the "narcissistic abuse" crowd bc I didn't know better and didn't have better language for what was happening to me, but like. If someone, especially someone WITH npd, tells you what you're saying is actively harming people and demonizing a disorder, maybe LISTEN. Like if you genuinely didn't know better, okay, but then be willing to listen and learn when someone tells you you're wrong. I feel like I'm going INSANE seeing comments on posts talking about "narcissists hate cats bc theyre independent and love dogs bc theyre obedient" NO you mean CONTROLLING ABUSERS might hate cats for those reasons. NPD does NOT inherently make someone abusive, fucking stop this shit.

Guys stop putting "empathy/sympathy." They are not the same thing. Empathy is not "I care about this person," that's what sympathy is. Empathy is "I can understand this person's situation, see myself in their shoes, and experience their emotions as my own."

Empathy ≠ sympathy. They frequently co-exist but they are DIFFERENT.

Not having empathy doesn't mean I don't care about people, it means I can't understand their emotions or correctly imagine myself in their situation.

I can still care without grasping it.

People stop being stupid and misunderstanding what words mean challenge level impossible.

Having NPD sucks ass because if you open up about your worldview people clown on you for “being edgy” and if you talk about how you hate the stigma people tell at you because “there is no stigma” and if you mention you have NPD people call you a monster who can’t care about other people by nature.

There is literally NO way to win if you ever want to talk about it because you will only be told that you are not stigmatized for it while those same people telling you that use the same stigma to bully and judge you for it.

who up hating pop psychology

[psychotic-tbh]

Stop saying…

“Psychotic/Schizophrenic” when you mean: unpredictable, unhinged, unreal, etc.

“Bipolar” when you mean: polarized, scattered, fickle, unstable, etc.

“Delusional” when you mean: unrealistic, unreasonable, close-minded, stubborn, etc.

“[insert “R” slur in relation to intellectual disabilities]” when you mean: unreasonable, unintelligent/ridiculous, immature, etc.

“OCD” when you mean: particular, neat, overbearing, etc.

“Narcissistic” when you mean selfish, abusive, manipulative, etc.

Note: I’m NOT saying that these are synonymous. This is also not an exhaustive list.

What Narcissism Is:

holding yourself to extremely high standards (if I'm not perfect at it, I'm a failure)

being incredibly sensitive to criticism (becoming suicidal if you think someone thinks you're bad at something)

having a very brittle sense of self-worth that's heavily reliant on what others think of you

What Narcissism is Not:

being uniquely abusive

having no morals

being a bad person

ETA: this is not an exhaustive list of NPD traits! more traits than these are necessary to have NPD! I chose these particular features to emphasize things that aren't often talked about outside of dedicated NPD communities and to highlight the fact that NPD is a disorder based in the internalized fear that you are never good enough.

How narc abuse believers sound to me

[npdculture]

questioning npd culture is HATING when people i know get into something i like. no that’s MY special thing that’s unique to ME and i don’t want to share with you even though i love you
