Please, if you can, take a moment to read and share this because I feel like I'm screaming underwater.

NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) stigma is rampant right now, and seems to be getting progressively worse. Everyone is using it as a buzzword in the worst ways possible, spreading misinformation and hatred against a real disorder.

I could go on a long time about how this happened, why it's factually incorrect (and what the disorder actually IS), why it's harmful, and the changes I'd like to see. But to keep this concise, I'll simply link to a few posts under the cut for further reading.

The point of this post is a plea. Please help stop the spread of stigma. Even in mental health communities, even around others with personality disorders, in neurodivergent "safe" spaces, other communities I thought people would be supportive in (e.g. trans support groups, progressive spaces in general), it keeps coming up. So I'm willing to bet that a lot of people on this site need to see this.

Because it's so hard to exist in this world.

My disorder already makes me feel as if I'm worthless and unlovable, like there's something inherently wrong and damaged about me. And it's so much harder to fight that and heal when my daily life consists of:

Laughing and spending time with my friends, doing my utmost best to connect and stay present and focused on them, trying to let my guards down and be real and believe I'm lovable- when suddenly they throw out the word "narcissist" to describe horrible people or someone they hate, or the conversation turns to how evil "people with narcissistic personality disorder" are. (Seriously, you don't know which of your friends might have NPD and feels like shit when you say those things & now knows that you'd hate them if you knew.)

Trying to look up "mental health positivity for people with npd", "mental health positivity cluster bs", only to find a) none of that, and b) more of the same old vile shit that makes me feel terrible about myself.

Having a hard time (which is constant at this point) and trying to look up resources for myself, only to again, find the same stigma. And no resources.

Not having any clue how to help myself, because even the mental health field is spitting so much vitriol at people with DISORDERS (who they're supposed to be helping!) that there's no solid research or therapy programs for people like me.

Losing close friends when they find out, despite us having had a good relationship before, and them KNOWING me and knowing that I'm not like the trending image of pwNPD. Because now they only see me through the lens of stigma and misinformation.

Hearing the same stigma come up literally wherever I go. Clubs. Meetings. Any online space. At the bus stop. At the mall. At a restaurant. At work. Buzzword of the year that everyone loooves loudly throwing around with their friends or over the phone. Feels awesome for me, makes my day so much better/s

I could go on for a long time, but I'm scared no one will read/rb this if it gets too much longer.

So please. Stop using the word "narcissist" as a synonym for "abusive".

Stop bringing up people you hate who you believe to have NPD because of a stigmatizing article full of misinformation whenever someone with actual NPD opens their mouth. (Imagine if people did that with any other disorder! "Hey, I'm autistic." "Oh... my old roommate screamed at me whenever I made noise around him, and didn't understand my needs, which seems like sensory overload and difficulty with social cues. He was definitely autistic. But as long as you're self-aware and always restraining your innate desire to be an abusive asshole, you're okay I guess, maybe." ...See how offensive and ignorant that is?)

Stop preventing healthcare for people with a disorder just because it's trendy to use us as a scapegoat.

If you got this far, thank you for reading, and please share this if you can. Further reading is under the cut.

NPD Criteria, re-written by someone who actually has NPD

Stigma in the DSM

Common perception of the DSM criteria vs how someone may actually experience them (Keep in mind that this is the way I personally experience these symptoms, and that presentation can vary a lot between individuals)

"Idk, the stigma is right though, because I've known a lot of people with NPD who are jerks, so I'm going to continue to support the blockage of treatment for this condition."

(All of these were written by me, because I didn't want to link to other folks' posts without permission, but if you want to add your own links in reblogs or replies please feel free <3)

Why do I get the feeling Vasco would just react normally to a horror. He would bake bread for the devil, man, he is the most well adjusted dude.

#own art #own characters #Vasco #snorlaxpillow #sorry I had to #for the record he isn't immune to the horrors I'm just exaggerating #he has thicker skin and better support network as well as raw luck on his side but he will break if you hit him where it hurts

truly hoping that everyone witnessing what’s going on and more so specifically what our president is doing right now and taking that into accountability when election time rolls around. Calling for that senile bastard to be held liable not only for the full funding and support of genocide/ethnic cleansing but the countless of other horrible deeds he’s committed since being in office is not being “pro trump” or republican. People are fucking tired and this inhumane treatment of the Palestinian people was more or less the breaking point. We watched how he and his entire campaign was centered around nothing more than engaging in a pissing contest with the blood orange. How every promise of monthly stimulus checks, erased student loans, wage raises, lower cost of living, etc ALL went down the drain the second he got sworn in. How our tax dollars were used to fund literal slaughter but people are sleeping in parking lots because they can’t afford housing. Healthcare is non existent, we can’t even afford to pay attention with minimum wage and we’re barely even able to fill our tanks or grocery baskets with our entire paychecks being thrown at it. As people keep saying, the propaganda is no longer working. Is*eal, Biden and every other sick entity in support of harming these people are being called out abs rightfully so. No one is subscribing to their bullshit ideologies anymore. No one is believing this rallying around the flag, blind patriotism, etc. call it desensitization or overexposure but we have real time access to information that refutes any of these influencer or corporate advertising. Continue to be tired, continue to be angry and continue to question everything because silence equals complicity and that’s exactly what they want.

#also if ur someone who says they don’t want to see this #then ur in support of genocide #full stop #you don’t have to understand everything fully #it’s okay to even take breaks from doom scrolling #but none of us are far removed or even immune to being in the exact same situation #although a lot of us are in different countries #many of our leaders are in support of these evil ideals #cherry chats 🍒 #vent and rant #politics #free palestine #discourse

Addiction in helluva boss is always displayed as a positive conjuction for the characters and never called into questioning unless it's a female presenting character. The men constantly get away and passively if not aggressively enforce positive stereotyping about alcoholism over how it can make one powerful and dominant despite the overtones knowing they're abusers. Whereas female characters are berated over drinking or simply made fun of to be presenting as an instigator of the 'conflict' because that's all the plot can bother to use women for to make the men characters look like they have 'development'....

I actively hate the fact that drinking and downright addiction with drugs and outright drug abuse or addicts in recovery are actively laughed at if not mocked within both series.

The fact that stolas has not been called into questioning either for being a drug addict abusing his prescription anti-depressants with alcohol and its passively played off as laughs until... it's actually called out by ovtavia and spoilers it's not a pretty argument...

Please stop supporting helluva boss it blatantly teaches to excuse abusers and brush off the fact that they are using these methods to cope so passively just because for the simplistic nature of 'angsty college humor' 🙄

Loona drinks. Blitz drinks. Stolas drinks. Moxxie has drunk against his will and it was played off for laughter. Addiction is actively laughed at and treated like a joke when in the grandscheme of the narrative why are we even rooting for these characters and their problems if they aren't willing to have the acceptance of change and oh yeah that lost plot that viv promised called REDEMPTION.

At what point do the fans have to admit that there is no good writing or anything of substance about the themes helluva boss presents since it falls flat face first every single time it presents a new bad thing to gawk at for the entire episode :/ what is it trying to say? Nothing. It says nothing about abusers and addicts, if anything it encourages to endorse the toxic behaviors the characters indulge in without the consequences, I can't anymore.

thinking about maggie looking up at mulder from her deathbed, grabbing his hand, directing her final words to him, rather than her daughter. 20 years after she stepped in between him and a gun, wanting to leave him with something. her grandbaby’s father. how mulder brings up scully’s coma, but for those 3 months “back in the day,” it was him and maggie. it was him and maggie at the crime scene and on the bench outside the fbi and choosing gravestones. how he was always invited by her. “this is a moment for the family, but you can join us.” so many decades of phone calls, check-ins, the way that in wetwired when he calls and she doesn’t answer, he knows. the inherent connection that comes with knowing your closest person’s closest person: two emergency contacts, two people who always have to be notified, two people who are always at the side of a hospital bed or funeral or event. two people who know what “i’m fine” means, what an eye roll means, what a nosebleed means. closeness in the periphery.

#y’all get mad at me all the time but everything i say is actually just because of something kelly said/wrote #soooo it’s actually her fault #mulder is so important to this family and he was not important at all to his own and i’m not immune to that!!! #thinking about missy coming and banging on his apartment door to tell him that he is more lost that her dying sister #and going deeper into it doesn’t help anyone #it’s so special how like. out of their way both maggie and missy went to support him #thinking about how scully has this kind of connection too (this ‘two closest people’ connection) it’s just to a ghost #txf.txt #home again

This is a PSA please assume that every headline and article and quote we hear about our favourite (and more importantly our problematic unfavourite) actors and writers and union members for the foreseeable future will be propaganda.

Assume that if someone has the influence to put many eyes on one thing, they also have a motivation to misrepresent people and statements, and/or to create discord to keep people from trusting and supporting each other.

Do not trust anyone to give us the full context, the complete statement, the unbiased observation. We are suddenly going to start hearing about a lot of Terrible Views or Problematic Behaviour from a person we otherwise do not hear or think much about, who is coincidentally an influential member in the union or contributing meaningfully to strike actions. We are going to hear a lot of very reasonable arguments that maybe nobody should listen to or agree with anything that This Person has to say. It is not going to be explicitly linked to their position regarding the strikes.

We are going to hear a lot of criticism against the unions. We are going to read posts from Average People pointing out how unfair and mean-spirited the union’s expectations are for people. Some of these posts will come with screenshots from union communications, along with a “helpful explanation” of what this means for Us, the Non Union Members reading it. It will point out how difficult, inconvenient, or over-reaching these expectations are, according to This Person’s Very Legitimate Interpretation Of Them. It will not be explicitly linked to their position regarding the strikes.

We are going to hear and see and read a lot of things in the coming weeks and months. Some of it will be laughably blatant. Some of it won’t. We will need to be very critical, very patient, and very self-aware if we want to avoid falling for it, and we won’t always succeed. We do, however, need to keep trying. There is a vested interest in changing or creating our opinions, and a vested interest in keeping us from realizing how it is being done or who is attempting to do it. We Are Not Immune To Propaganda.

hello maybe someone has already said this but uhhh do some of y’all realize how wrong it sounds out of concept to say that Sam was the true hero of LotR?

“Sam was the true hero! He had to carry Frodo because Frodo failed!” -> “All of Frodo’s contributions fail to matter because in the end he needed help. A hero is only valid if he doesn’t have to rely on anyone else.”

Like obviously not everyone who says that always means the second part, but overall like. That’s kinda the implication that’s being given. And it’s kinda messed up.

#like why is it wrong for him to need help?? #that’s so toxic #that all someone’s effort and contributions and suffering are worthless because in the end they faltered and needed support #ugh anyway #tolkien #lotr #lord of the rings #sam gamgee #samwise gamgee #frodo #frodo baggins #yeah this isn’t meant to discredit sam either fyi #they’re both very important and neither could have done it without the other #like hello what makes you think Sam would magically be immune to the manipulation of a cursed object thousands of years old #HE WOULDNT SO STOP VILLIFYING FRODO FOR FALLING VICTIM TO IT #ughhh i will die on this hill
