#aspd + npd culture is

[cluster-b-culture-is]

npd + aspd culture is never feeling bad for anything you do and only apologizing to protect your image

i hate that BPD gives me such a lack of emotional permanence.

you can spend hours describing the ways in which you care about me, yet the moment you stop my brain will immediately decide you hate me and are destined to leave me.

im a violent dog and i know exactly why i bite

having low/no empathy doesn't make you evil or less-than someone else

you don't owe empathy to anyone

having NPD or ASPD doesn't make you a bad person

[cruelbrutality]

I have no empathy, remorse, guilt or compassion.

That is how I experience things, as a result of my personality disorders.

If you are going to support personality disorders then you also must include people with these symptoms as well and not just the glorified version the media attempts to convey.

me when my personality disorder actually impacts my life and doesn’t just make me a cool manic pixie dream girl (i will have this realization twice a week)

[necroticcadaver]

I love talking about myself.

You ask me questions about myself? I could spend literal hours happily talking about me.

Shout out to the age regressors / system littles who have a cluster b personality disorder. You being a narcissist, sociopath, borderline, or histrionic does NOT make you a bad person and does NOT invalidate your experience. Take care <33

npd + aspd culture is getting exhausted of constantly having people tell you they can "handle you being unmasked" and then having them throw back any actual traits in your face when you are truly unwell & treat you like you're a monster.

(little reminder/sorta rant below about dating pw cluster b disorders, but specifically touching on npd + aspd)

just a reminder, if you want to be in a relationship with someone with aspd or npd (really any cluster b disorder) you need to be willing to understand the less pretty parts of the disorders. don't say "i can handle that" without being willing to truly be patient & understand them.

if they lack empathy, don't try to force them to empathize with you. if they struggle with lying, try to be patient when they do so. if they aren't good with affection, don't push them to be affectionate.

if you want to be in a relationship with someone who's mentally ill you need to be willing to go the extra mile. you need to be able to understand they don't work the same way as you. they may struggle with things you don't. that is okay, just be understanding with them. if you can't handle it, be upfront. don't lie to them & act like you can be something for them when you can't. it will just cause more issues in the end if you do.

Cluster B Culture is knowing you will never be able to fully enjoy true crime because pretty much all true crime creators are constantly throwing around the words "psychopathic" "psycho" "sociopathic" and "narcissistic" as if they're being paid for every ableist insult they can come up with and pin them on perpetrators like an armchair diagnosis right after calling them evil and demonic as if they're synonyms for personality disorders

[bpdcodone]

You ever open up to someone and feel gross afterwards and weak?

[cluster-b-culture-is]

aspd+npd culture is being a little toxic, yes, but at least I admit it, which makes me better than 90% of the population.

‘how do you expect people who have been abused by someone with NPD to refer to their abuse then?’

by calling it what it is: emotional abuse.

it’s not difficult.

slapping the word ‘narcissistic’ on the front of abuse is blindly assigning blame and associating the abusive behaviours with NPD, despite the fact that nowhere in the criteria does it state any abusive behaviours as a symptom.

i understand that people who are severely mentally unwell are more prone to abusing others, however to point the blame at a disorder (and therefore at everyone with the disorder) is ableist, irresponsible and grossly misinformed.

to put it into perspective as to how bad the stigma surrounding NPD is, i have been diagnosed with NPD and have been told i should be killed because of it, that i will inevitably abuse my partners i have had, i’ve had partners in the past be harassed by people saying that it’s ‘just a matter of time’ before i abuse them without any of these people ever even knowing me. i see endless amounts of things online calling all narcissists evil, as well as having my own experiences with abuse disregarded because they do not believe someone with NPD could be anything other than a perpetrator, despite the fact NPD is induced by trauma. the list goes on.

your choice of wording does matter and it does damage people with NPD.

ive never met a person with a cluster b disorder who would purposefully hurt me especially when id tell them that theyre making my own symptoms worse, but oh boy do the cluster b-less people know how to make you feel like a worthless unlovable piece of shit no matter how many times you tell them that theyre only making everything worse for both of us with their behaviour. gotta love the self proclaimed empaths

[ndcultureis]

nd culture is hearing somebody say “oh theyre a narcissist/psychopath/delusional” and taking a moment to appreciate your nuerodivergent siblings. anybody who’s disorder is used as a marker of Bad Terrible Person know i love ypu <3

“People with ASPD and NPD are unlikely to seek help”  If you were treated like you just murdered the therapist’s entire family in front of them every time you tried I don’t think you’d seek help either
