We really truly and severely need to do something about the "narcissistic abuse" fad. like do you guys know and understand people with NPD are more likely to successfully attempt suicide (often with no warning or announcement and a solid plan) than any other PD (yes, including BPD). has anyone considered for one second that this may have something to do with the fact you can't fucking fart on the internet without hitting a post about "dealing with narcissists".
NPD often turns inward into a toxic perfectionism and even the grandiose subtype can turn into a case of fragile/vulnerable subtype in the face of extreme, berating criticism (like, yknow, not being able to google your disorder without getting 1000 results about how irredeemable you are)
when you see people stigmatising NPD: call it out. tell people "narcissistic" doesn't equal abuser, it doesn't equal toxic, and it isn't acceptable to use it as such. remind people there are other words they can use. don't let it slide just because "oh but they're venting about trauma :(". A vent that contributes to the trauma of people who read it is not a vent. do not drop the subject. do not forget about it. do not be scared of confrontation.
i've lost damn good friends to this disorder. not because of their behaviour, but because of stigma that made them feel like suicide was doing the world a favour.
it HAS to stop, and it has to stop NOW.

listen to me. thoughts do not have moral weight. a thought will never hurt anyone. the actions you take because of a thought can hurt yourself or other people, but the thought itself is powerless and there is no such thing as thought crime.
"but i have thoughts about being violent towards people! towards children! surely that makes me dangerous!" are you being violent? for real? with your actions? if not, then you are not actually hurting anyone
"but i have thoughts that are offensive and hurtful! they're bigoted, or they're horribly rude, or they're invalidating to others! i'm a horrible person." and what are you doing with those thoughts, exactly? are you taking bigoted actions, or saying those rude things, or taking steps to actually invalidate people? no? well then. no one is getting hurt. and in the meantime, if it really bothers you, doing things like helping unlearn your biases (both against minorities and just, like, against furries and theatre kids and shit) might help some of those thoughts go away, but sometimes you just get shitty thoughts.
"but i have horrific thoughts about sex!" are you hurting people. are you forcing people to do things they don't consent to. or are you just playing the upsetting possibility in your mind over and over again, and acting like that's even remotely the same thing?
thought. crime. is. not. real. OCD. is. hell. (and anything else that may cause intrusive thoughts.) but it does not define you. your thoughts will always, always come secondary to your actions. you're gonna be fine.

Some situations in life are like when a cat chases a bear up a tree. Logically, you know that a bear could kill the cat with one blow with no effort at all. But a bear has no concept of how cats work. To a bear, everything that's made out of meat will fight back before becoming prey, once escaping this fate is no longer an option, but nothing that could flee would choose not to, and attack the bear first. As far as a bear is concerned, there is nothing out there that would attack a bear without an absolute confidence that it could kill a bear. If something hits you first, you fucking run.
And cats have no concept of how anything works. As far as a cat is concerned, if there's something in your face that you don't want in your face, you just fucking smack it. And if something starts fleeing from you, you chase it.
Sometimes in life there are situations where there only seems to be one logical outcome, the common sense one that seems foregone conclusion. But it only looks like that because you have a clear and realistic view of the big picture. Then the only logical conclusion doesn't happen, because nobody actually involved in the situation has a realistic understanding of what's going on.
