My schools secret name must be mfs cus omg i swear they hate me, suspending me and saying i cant come back until ive been accessed for another students safety because i WANTED to yell at him so shut the fuck up I DIDNT EVEN YELL AT HIM i told them i wanted to h_rt myself and yell at him but they suspended me for HIS safety (it was written in an email that it was for his safety and not mine btw before someone gets mad at me for assuming)

Mfs when a trauma response makes someone an asshole and isn't just some cute uwu quirky part of their personality

Npd (might also have to do w/ my autism too) culture is wanting to be studied and wanting everyone to notice every little detail about yourself because you put so much effort into how you present yourself like everything down to the tiniest details like how you type and how you treat ppl.

Like dawg. How dare you not notice how smart I am. See how much I know??? Isn't that cool??? Aren't I so interesting??? (Also being called interesting is seen as a compliment)

anyway cluster b people i love you. i love you people with aspd. i love you people with bpd. i love you people with hpd. i love you people with npd.

you are not ontologically evil. you are not inherently abusive. you have the capacity to do as many good or bad things as anyone else. it’s not your fault you developed your disorder, your brain was just trying to help you survive whatever you went through. you are not evil for the way you feel. you can’t control your feelings, but you can control your actions. as long as you are trying to be your best self, you will never be the irredeemable monster people make you out to be. <3

The struggle of giving real compliments as pwNPD and ASPD traits is so real. I don't give honest compliments often but when I do they sound so condescending and people misunderstand. Or it sounds really simple for a person without npd/aspd.

We really need to talk about how pwNPD and pwASPD express affection and care. It can seem so simple and not recognizing/not thanking them properly can genuinely destroy the relationship.

To you it may only be a simple "Yes you can stay with me even tho I'm slow on social battery" or "Yes you can give me advice on how to do something" but to narcissists and sociopaths is something SO big. It's literally going against the defense mechanisms the brain has set up to prevent re-traumatization. It's opening up to someone, something both people with ASPD and NPD are incredibly scared to do.

who up hating pop psychology

[livingfictionsystem]

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I will be like "I'm fine" and then another fucking event will occur

[solitaryschizoid]

neurotypicals will be like "you can't self diagnose" and then diagnose everyone they dislike as a narcissist

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

*mom voice* You can get these words back when you know what they mean

[planesofdelusion]

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.

[narcissisticpdcultureis]

Npd + aspd culture is knowing people think you are—and that you might be—a bad person, but thinking that’s a good thing. Better a bad person than a bootlicker. Better a bad person than weak. Better a bad person than victimized again.

A little reminder that the "scary" neurodivergents belong in the community too. The ones with intrusive thoughts. The ones who seem self-centered.

The people with ocd, bpd, npd. Stuff like that. They belong here too.
