If you ever find yourself in a situation where someone is trying to use a checklist to impact your life and freedom, the below might be useful.

PCL-R is widely used to assess individuals in high-security psychiatric units, prisons and psychological screenings. This decides who should be detained and what sort of treatment you'd receive.

The checklist is a constellation of traits which you need to be aware of so as to not score them. Simply. This impacts your life. This is important. Do not allow people to box you in. You may be branded with a label that has a very real very tangible impact on your ability to access resources if you are not careful. It can have financial and social repercussions which will affect the quality of your life. In extremis you may lose your liberty. Avoid at all cost being labelled ASPD NPD or anything of the like.

Narcissism - this one is easy to avoid. Pretend you are shy talking about yourself. Pick a trait, such as having difficulty making eye contact that is easy to fake and easy to spin into a narrative wherein you are so concerned about what others think, but not in a positive or self obsessed manner.

Superficial charm - this one is also easy. Ties into the counter-narcissism narrative quite neatly. Make it so your fictitious trait is prominent (don't overdo it!) In your conversation. This can be shaking hands, unsure eye contact, a nervous twitch. Whatever.

Charisma / outward attractiveness -do not bother with this one. The innate human desire to trust and believe those they perceive as clean/attractive/healthy etc will only help you

Seductiveness -don't try to fuck the psychiatrist

Promiscuity -see above

Lack of empathy - ironically the easiest tell on this one is over exaggerated reactions. Do not grin broadly. Mute yourself. Go for a natural look. Do not overdo the shy/nervous/etc gestures

Feeling of emptiness -do not discuss the void. The void stays in the void.

Sadism- do not discuss. Bonus points if you organically introduce a narrative wherein you express that you feel horror at another's pain with very subtle body language and facial expressions to match.

Paranoia- if it weren't for your paranoia you wouldn't be reading this, and I wouldn't be writing this. By virtue of it being paranoia you won't talk about it with a head snooping doctor anyway.

Suicidal

Self harm

The suicidal x self harm traits are the ones you need to focus on and outwardly display so you may be diagnosed with a depressive disorder, if you are in a situation where they need to diagnose you with something. A depressive disorder will be much less impactful on your life. Of note is that the way you experience self harm and suicidal ideation is different than that of a depressive person. You need to be keenly aware of this. A depressed person does not get sexually excited by the prospect as an example. You will need to do research.

Female presenting people will also have an easier time with this and can afford to get a lot more lax and creative as femininity inherently signals emotional caring etc. in many cultural contexts. Obviously play it by ear, but do consider how you present outwardly. This includes other physical characteristics such as height and build. Try to be an inoffensive stereotype they can easily box in and feel smug that they've identified your "issue".

All other traits must be masked. Do not avoid discussing your past, but do lie about it.

WORDS TO USE INSTEAD OF NARCISSIST.

by @scaryinclusive.

presently, narcissist is a word used to define individuals with narcissistic personality disorder. a narcissistic individual is someone exhibiting traits or symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. due to its widespread use as a derogatory, dehumanising and stigmatising label, despite its original purpose, the use of 'narcissist, narcissism and narcissistic' as an adjective, especially in an insulting, derogatory way, is ableist, sanist and stigmatising.

The thing is that if there was any positive resources for Personality Disorders, we would be able to get better. Instead, if we look up “narcissist help”, articles come up with “how to destroy a narcissist” and “they’re self absorbed, entitled and manipulative”. You look up your disorder and you just get things that articles on how other people can destroy your mental health, just because you have your condition, because of the trauma that caused you to have this personality disorder. It’s like they don’t want us to get better, they just want us to know how we’re horrible. They need people to demonise us, they want us to be destroyed. They make sure that everything hurts us. They expect us to recover then stigmatise the things we are trying to fix. That doesn’t convince us to get better, that convinces us to become the worst version of ourselves.

NPD/ASPD culture is doing whatever you can to get what you want, hurting someone or something in the process, and being confused as to why people are mad at you for it. Like are you dumb?

dsm really is like well about every other PD is determined by abuse, neglect, poor relationships and bad experiences as a child, and trauma. narcissistic personality disorder is largely defined by a desperate terrified need to never seem weak or like a failure and hunger for praise and approval. who tf knows what causes it tho

#vic talks #was reading the dsm-v-tr for character reasons and of course had to check out my own entry #which is. not very good #'pwNPD are soooo entitled and arrogant and they think they're so SPECIAL and you'll probably notice them #because they're huge jerks. anyway their actions stem from a feeling of utter emptiness #an inability to sustain their own self-worth and vicious self-criticism. did we mention #they're more likely than other disorders to commit suicide successfully? like with a plan? #anyway those who relate to them usually find them emotionally cold or disinterested and they're so invested in status amirite' #'they often usurp special privileges and resources they think they deserve' <- me stealing granola bars from work as a teen #i mean at least there's acknowledgement of the internal side of things #and there's a small note of 'often they have low empathy but they can have cognitive empathy' #but it feels like it meshes awkwardly with the 'symptom: HUGE ASSHOLES ALL THE TIME ugh they're probably really annoying. we don't know y' #side of things #anyway much love to the HPDs (also no speculation on Y Are They Like This) #and my ASPDs (must suck to have the Is A Criminal diagnosis) #very happy that my BPDs are getting a bit more fleshed out sympathetic stuff in their entry even tho you still deal with lots of shit

#It kinda sucks that there's so few resources on schizophrenia that I have to look at advice for aspd #It sucks that every single ''schizophrenia test'' I find online is just a ''psychosis test'' with literally nothing about negative or #cognitive symptoms #schizophrenics are assumed to not be aware enough to even know they're different and it honestly hurts #things were easier when I ''was autistic'' instead tbh

A 2016 study into the behaviour of voles

"voles comfort each other when mistreated, spending more time grooming a mistreated vole. Voles that were not mistreated had levels of stress hormones that were similar to the voles that had been mistreated, suggesting that the voles were capable of empathising with each other. This was further proven by blocking the vole's receptors for oxytocin, a hormone involved in empathy. When the oxytocin receptors were blocked this behavior stopped."

In short - externally induced oxytocin receptor desensitisation

Also a supplementary read to above

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsptsci.1c00095

Basically the insane variance in response from person to person in response to administration of the same amounts of oxytocin during childbirth. The study postulates what many others have proved - there is a variety of oxytocin receptors variants and these are genetically predetermined.

WORDS TO USE INSTEAD OF ANTISOCIAL, PSYCHOPATH OR SOCIOPATH.

by @scaryinclusive.

presently, antisocial is a word used to define individuals with antisocial personality disorder. an antisocial individual is someone exhibiting traits or symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. antisocial is regularly misused in derogatory, dehumanising and stigmatising ways, feeding into harmful stereotypes. aspd is a hugely misunderstood disorder many are uneducated on, and you can help reduce stigma by altering your vocabulary. this includes the use of 'psychopath' and 'sociopath'. the use of 'antisocial', 'psychopath' and 'sociopath' as an adjective, especially in an insulting or derogative form, is ableist, sanist and stigmatising.

help the aspd community out by opting to utilise less harmful, stigmatising language in your speech and writing! please note: the following words listed are not synonyms with or indicative of aspd symptoms or traits. but for the context the aforementioned labels are typically socially applied to, they are a beneficial replacement. feel free to reblog.
