NPD + autism culture is hating when someone is also interested in My special interest :/.

Yeah maybe you like it but I like it the best way someone could like it. I love it. I devoted my life to it. You don't get it like I get it. It's My special interest. Mine. So back off.

Sometimes the posts I see on here are people who are discussing their "narcissistic symptoms" when it's just them being unequivocally a jerk to other people. There is a very clear trajectory when it regards narcissism and its presentation when people discuss it like this, it leads to continual demonization and ostracism towards people who suffer from NPD and have narcissistic traits.

NPD and narcissistic traits do not make you an abuser, please can we not conflate some of the "bad traits" of NPD with genuine harm perpetuated towards other groups of people? We can accept that NPD makes a person more susceptible to certain behaviors while also acknowledging that acting upon said behaviors is unhealthy; this is the double edged sword of having this disorder, you are responsible for your actions to others whilst also acknowledging you have NPD and how that can interact.

To all the people saying Trump is a sociopath, or that Musk is a narcissist, or diagnosing the ruling class with any sort of personality disorders:

Fuck you. You are a bioessentialist piece of shit. You are using the tools of fascism by pathologizing bad behaviour. Trump and Musk are not evil because their fucked up, inhuman brain chemistry. They are evil because they benefit from a system of exploration. You are deflecting from the main problem by blaming their actions on an inherent, unchangable characteristic instead of the socioeconomic forces that allow their abuse to happen.

As a late diagnosed autist I will say one of the most damaging but transformative experiences I've ever had was being misdiagnosed with BPD.

Everyday my heart goes out to people with BPD.

The amount of stigma and silencing they face is astonishing and sickening.

I took DBT for years. Therapists use to turn me away because of my diagnosis.

I would be having full blown autistic meltdowns, crying for help literally - but because I was labeled as BPD ANY time I cried I was treated as manipulative and unstable.

As if the only reason I could be crying was if I was out to trick someone.

95% of the books out there with Borderline in the title are named shit like 'How to get away from a person with Borderline', 'How to stop walking on eggshells (with a person who has BPD)'

I was never allowed to feel true pain or panic or need.

That was 'attention seeking behavior', not me asking for help when a disability was literally inhibiting my ability to process emotions.

There were dozens of times where I had a full meltdown and was either threatened with institutionalization or told I was doing it for attention.

My failing relationships weren't due to a communication issue, or the inability to read social cues. No, because I was labeled borderline, my unstable relationships were my fault. Me beggong nuerotypicals to just be honest and blunt with what they meant was me pestering them for validation.

Borderline patients can't win.

And the funny thing is - I asked my therapist about autism. I told her I thought I was on the spectrum.

BPD is WILDLY misdiagnosed with those with autism and I had many clear signs.

Instead - she told me 'If you were autistic we wouldn't be able to have this conversation'. She made me go through a list of autistic traits made clearly for children, citing how I didn't fit each one.

And then she told me that me identifying with the autism community was the BPD making me search for identity to be accepted - and that I wasn't autistic, just desperate to fit in somewhere.

I didn't get diagnosed for another ten years. For ten years I avoided the autism community - feeling as if I were just a broken person who wanted to steal from people who 'really needed it'.

Because of my providers - I began to doubt my identity MORE, not less.

Ten years of thinking I was borderline and being emotionally neglected and demonized by a system meant to help me.

To this day, I still don't trust neurotypicals. Not fully.

I know I'm not borderline now - but my heart aches for them. Not for the usual stuff. But for the stigma. And the asshole doctors. And the dismissiveness and threatening and the idea of institutionalization hanging over their head.

I love Borderline people. I always will. I'm not Borderline but if you are I love you and I'm sorry.

You're not a bad person. You're not a therapists worst nightmare, you are a human with valid feelings and fears.

Borderline people I'm sorry.

my anhedonia is eating me alive so i’m making these mental illness memes to cope

[ladygrey111]

The whole, "K*lling urself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" bullshit is spouted by the ignorant lucky ones who have only had temporary problems. Some people's problems are permanent so maybe try offering actual help and support to them rather than regurgitating an overused phrase that means nothing to people with real struggles.

NPD culture is “No I can’t be a narcissist I’ve always been the Good One tm!!!! I have SO much empathy!! I’m like the least narcissistic person ever!��� And then remember way back when you were ten and struggling to understand why people were always so obsessed with the idea of having a partner because “it’s literally just another person why do you care so much” or when you couldn’t pinpoint why you hated that new person in your friend group who all your friends fawned over because they made art for the group (you were supposed to be the one getting that attention) and realizing you’ve been mixing sympathy up with empathy for nearly a decade

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.

People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.

Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.

“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”

I genuinely mourn the person I could have been.
