Reblog to kiss a narcissist on the forehead

[npdlove]

Fuck the stigma around NPD.

I love narcissists.

I want narcissists to succeed in life.

I want narcissists to find happiness.

I want narcissists to have healthy and effective support systems.

I want narcissists to be able to say they have their disorder without it being demonized.

I want narcissists to take care of themselves.

Because that's what narcissists deserve.

Because narcissists are people.

Narcissists are so beautiful and handsome and wonderful, they deserve to be proud for all that they have survived especially with such a distressing disorder

[redtail-lol]

Idk how people will be anti self dx and then call sb a narcissist like so I can't diagnose myself based on my lived experiences and research because I don't have the qualifications to diagnose others but you who also doesn't have that qualification can diagnose people with a disorder you probably barely know about?

This post is not about being concerned and telling someone you know personally that they should look into something to see if that might be the case, that's a suggestion. This post is talking about people who are making videos on YouTubers who get exposed and calling them narcissists like... You don't even know them. Besides they usually won't even show signs of NPD, they'll just be manipulative and maybe have a pretty big ego and sense of self importance but none of the other signs, like an unstable sense of self, need to be praised, or a genuine lack of empathy* are present. And that's only to name a few symptoms, others also rarely appear when these YouTubers get called narcissists for being bad people. A narcissist is not the same as being a bad person, you can't call everyone you don't like a narcissist. Despite the people I'm specifically referring to, this post can also be about anyone calling somebody, even someone they know, a narcissist without having a single clue how the person thinks or what narcissism even is.

*A lack of empathy is not the same as not caring about others. Empathy is the ability to understand how others feel, and to feel with them. A lack of empathy is not a lack of compassion. It does not mean you don't care about others. It means you can't really understand how others feel. You can't read their feelings and you don't feel a certain way just because they feel a certain way. People who don't have empathy can still care about others and people who have empathy don't necessarily care about the feelings of other people. Being able to understand the feelings of others doesn't necessarily mean you give a shit about the way they feel, and you may even find delight in someone being upset if you wanted them to hurt.

common disproven myths about NPD (from a narcissist) 💗

🎀 ▪︎ narcissist abuse isn't real. you wouldn't call an abuser with depression "depressive abuse" or someone with bipolar "bipolar abuse". It's a term meant specifically to attack people with NPD, regardless if they're victims theirself. its just emotional abuse. Stop demonizing specific complex disorders that vary on a case to case basis in order to deal with your own trauma.

🎀 ▪︎ low/no empathy does not mean people with NPD cannot learn to care about people.

🎀 ▪︎ not everyone with NPD wants to be cured, and that's completely acceptable.

🎀 ▪︎ the idea that "real narcissists would never tell anyone they're narcissists" is ableist bullshit spread around to convince people to witch hunt and bully individuals who're trying to recognize their own traits.

ALL NARCISSISTS ARE VALID. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.

btw stop demonizing every mental disorder thats not like,,, mild social anxiety . if thats where your support ends then its not really support

anyway heres some positivity for my mentally ill folks ❤️

plain text: anyway heres some positivity for my mentally ill folks ❤️

a lot of text under the cut

if you have ocd i love you and i hope you have an amazing day

if you have hoarding ocd youre so amazing and just remember it doesn't make you gross

if you have pocd just remember that i know you would never hurt a child, you are worthy of love and you deserve to be able to seek help or talk to people about your condition without getting shamed.

remember you are not your intrusive thoughts, even if they say terrible things that does not mean you're a terrible person

if you have low or no empathy you are still an amazing person and a lack of empathy does not mean a lack of care, im sure you care about those you love in your own way and you deserve to be cared about in return. hell even if you don't care or find it hard to care about people you still deserve to be cared about and treated well because youre still a person and youre a good person despite what people might say.

mid or high support needs autistics i know a lot of the autism communities online are mostly low support needs autistics but you are still as much a part of the community as they are, its okay to need more help or accomodations than other people around you. accommodations are amazing and not at all something to be ashamed of.

you have a learning disability ? that's totally fine, our education system is made to fit a very specific niche of people and if you're not a part of that neiche that does not mean you're stupid, you're smart in your own ways and you can do amazing things.

you have a cluster b disorder ? that does not make you an abuser, you are not defined by the actions of a bad person with the same disorder, your disorder does not make you a bad person. your morals and actions are not determined by a disorder and people who say that are uneducated.

whatever youre struggling with remember that you are loved, there are people who care about you, and you are not defined by your struggles <3

I decided to create a separate blog for my posts about narcissism, @quitblamingnarcissism.

[quitblamingnarcissism]

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

Narcissists, I love you. I love you. I love you.

You don't need to have energy to deserve anyone's love.

You don't need to be kind to deserve anyone's love.

You don't need to be smart to deserve anyone's love.

You don't need any talent to deserve anyone's love.

You don't need to love any way to deserve anyone's love.

You deserve it now. As you are. Unconditionally.

the thing that gets me the most about ableism against pd’s is that ppl will be like “these disorders make you an ASSHOLE!!!!” and then turn around and pretend that other disorders can’t and don’t make you act shitty.

depression and anxiety can make you irritable and snappy. they can cause you to refuse to listen to people and to be distant and withdrawn. they can cause you to seem angry, bitchy, rude, uncaring, etc.

ptsd causes an array of difficulties in forming meaningful relationships. it pretty much shakes up your entire worldview and sense of self a lot of the time. ptsd can cause you to get angry often. it can cause you to yell and scream. it can cause you to withdraw from others, run away, or cut them out. it can cause general changes in demeanor and more cynical worldviews. it can make you seem grouchy, negative, explosive, impolite, difficult, needy, controlling, etc.

and yet when people with personality disorders have symptoms of that nature, suddenly we are irredeemable monsters. when it’s npd, bpd, hpd, or aspd instead of ptsd or depression and anxiety, people suddenly and magically lose the ability to be understanding.

mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse. i firmly believe that. hurting others is never justified simply because you have any disorder.

but if you can be patient with people who have depression, anxiety, ptsd, ocd, or any other more well understood mental illness, you can be patient with us.

How to handle a narcissist:

Show them pictures of an elderly cat

[sinxsthezia]

so, i was looking thru plushie dreadfuls and i had some issues with the npd bunny. out of spite, i decided to design my own npd bunny!

symbolism: - crown to represent desire for superiority and praise - mask to represent false ego and, well, masking - mask is cracked to represent the false ego breaking, aka crashing, also represents that masking is very tiring - primarily green color palette to represent envy - large heart on the center to represent large ego and big emotions - gem motif to represent brilliance, uniqueness, and beauty - frills to spice things up, appear fancier, and make it more unique - green arrows pointing up towards the face to represent drawing attention to self

i wanted to represent npd in a more beautiful and less stigmatizing way. i hope you like it!

hey i just wanted to give a shout out to people with personality disorders real quick. your disorder doesn't make you evil, it doesnt make you an abuser, and it doesnt make you unlovable. you're just as deserving of respect, care, and support as people without personality disorders. stay safe, i love you and i hope you have a happy holiday season. we're in this together <3
