black holes are very npd I base it solely on the feeling of a hole inside which could never be filled and it just takes takes takes and its never enough

[somebody-already-took-this-url]

ASPD:

The End of the Fucking World (show)

The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared (book) **

Hitman Anders and the Meaning of it All (book)

I Care A Lot (movie) **

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest (movie)

NPD:

The Politician (show) **

The Morning Show (show) **

The Devil Wears Prada (movie)

Believe it or not, Mary Poppins fits too, she exhibits traits of NPD consistently throughout both the new movie and the old one… ummm tbh I’m having a hard time not just recommending everything with characters i kin in them.

The overlap between my NPD and ASPD makes it kinda hard for me to decide which category other characters and their films/shows/books fit into, like Kuzco from the Emperors New Groove, and Scarlett Overkill in the Minions movie, also some characters in AHS too, uhhh… Regina Mills in Once Upon a Time definitely has some type of personality disorder, but I’m not really sure I’d choose ASPD or NPD, I’d have to rewatch the series to be sure. Mother Gothel in Tangled definitely has NPD, plus I know it’s cliche at this point, but NBC Hannibal and BBC Sherlock, while not being great examples of shows with ASPD characters, do technically have them.. although I hesitate with Hannibal tbh, since it’s all so over dramatized he’s basically a super villain :/. In the case of Sherlock, however, the only character I really feel is a well written example of someone with ASPD (even tho I think it was unintentional) is Mycroft Holmes. Sherlock is the one with diagnosed (not sure if it’s self dx or pro dx) aspd, but I truly feel like Mycroft is better written as a character with the disorder than Sherlock is.

sorry, I know this is a long addition! I put two asterisks (**) next to the ones I think have really good portrayals of ASPD/NPD :)

Hope this is okay. I want to better understand npd and aspd. To avoid the stereotypes, could you recommend movies or even books about it?

Thanks and have a good day

Reading books and watching movies is all well and good. but you should take in consideration that fiction is very much influenced by stereotypes, and the characters symptoms are overdramatised for our entertainment. So tbh, I’d suggest you follow blogs, read and watch content by antisocials and narcissists. Preferably not mine because I run this blog for myself only (be the same for a lot of us here).

TLDR; at the top of my head I’d recommend House, Killing Eve, Thoroughbreds, for aspd. and, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Halston (he def had npd) for npd. Sadly I can’t recommend many books because I mainly read non fiction.

If anyone else can list more movies/ books, post them in the comments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
