knowing that nothing will ever be enough for me. no matter how much attention or success i get, it’ll only temporarily satisfy the emptiness. i need more and more every time, which gets to a point where that’s impossible to achieve. even when i get what i want it’s not good enough, now i don’t want it. i’ll always be chasing after something better, where others would be content

Moon rant 'o the day: Charlie Morningstar hate rant (don't cancel me this is jist my opinion)
Honestly, what the hell makes Charlie think she is capable of helping people to be better? She is THEE Princess of HELL, as far as she knows, she could be more vile and cruel then any sinner down there. She was born and raised in hell, wtf gives her the idea that she is so perfect?? And honestly I feel like her methods are just gonna make sinners worse. She hurts them emotionally, crosses firmly set boundaries, and doesn't seem to respect what anyone else thinks, always doing things her way.
Vaggie was hiding an extremely traumatic event from her, because she didn't wanna talk about it??? Oh yeah Charlie that is 100% your invitation to guilt trip her about it once you find out 😁 you're an AMAZZINGGG partner. I bet half thr reason Vaggie never told her was cause Charlie probably didn't give a shit enough about someone other then herself to ask Vag about her past.
She only ever seems to care about HERSELF, and making HERSELF look good to Hell and Heaven. She doesn't seem to give two shits about Angel or Pentious, or anyone else in the hotel for that matter. She never even called her father until she wanted something from him, and then only seems interested in his presence if it benefits her hotel and shit.

i know this is a personal ask, so theres no pressure to answer, just something im curious ab lol. i was wondering what type of relationship you had with your parents cz im reading swte (wonderful writing btw) and i can really relate to your descriptions of orion as a toxic narcissistic dad as somebody who had one lol.
this IS a personal ask how dare u. im falling to the floor w the audacity. never show ur grey circle face and stupid shiny sunglasses on my dash ever again.
in all seriousness, i hope youve healed from whatever paternal trauma youve faced <3 and thank you for the kind words. my relationship with my parents has its ups and downs. we love and hate and support and dislike and care and annoy and miss each other as all families do.

This is like the only site that doesnt completely mask off demonize NPD its so crazy this constant throwing around of the term narcissist like Is Your Mom A Narcissist? How to Avoid Narcissists. How to diagnose everyone you don't like in your life with Narcissism. The existence of the colloquial term Narcissistic Abuse. And its funny they never say NPD. Thats not their buzzword. Its an issue of nobody taking accountability. Oh you did something that broke my boundary so im diagnosing you with Evil And Unfixable Disorder. (They dont know about neuroplasticity) Yes sure its treatment resistant but that doesnt mean that every case is unfixable and no one with npd will ever be aware of their disorder. Becuase part of the fucking problem is everyrhing online is How To Deal With Evil Narcissistic Parents or Boyfriend or whatever and there is like no education on its core causes and onset that is presented with empathy and understanding and ways to heal. Ive seen someone diagnosed+self aware+healing say it feels like you're sick inside. It feels horrible. It develops in childhood as a defense mechanism. Thats all it is and it makes sense. The core of it is shame and everything is built around it to defend against it and control what triggers it. It hurts others because that's what mental illness does. It's so complicated. It destroys your relationships. People are not required to stay with you when you are doing very real damage to them. The thing is that THERE IS HEALING for npd, but there's so much fucking stigma that finding out how is almoat impossible and you just get told you're evil forever with no cure and everyone should stay away from you forever to protect themselves and you deserve to be alone forever. When one of the keys to healing is always self compassion. Search NPD on instagram explore and tell me how thats possible to even begin to foster with all this buzzword shit out there. Ok. Whatever. Hi. Infographics when u tell them u have bpd vs infographics when u tell them u have npd

just to be clear this blog believes any human has the capacity to abuse another human and that being narcissistic has nothing to do with it. it could be helpful context to know that your abuser is struggling with npd as well, but if you assume someone's going to be abusive just because they have npd you're actually Ableist As Fuck

You will never make me feel bad for people with narcissistic personality disorder.
You aren't born with that disorder. It is an act of choice to be selfish and dissuade your empathy and to pin your poor behavior on some obscure thing that happened in your past. Plenty of people tell narcissists they're being bad people who are hurting others and they don't care.
Even if it was completely out of their control: if you lack the ability to feel empathy for others and treat them humanely you are not a good person whatever your excuse may be, no matter it's legitimacy. I'm so tired of seeing pro NPD shit. You don't get to be an honorary good person just because you think you have a good reason for why you're not. People are not allowed to actively choose to f*** others over for their own selfish game their entire life and then have people feel bad for them for it. I don't care if they're more likely to commit suicide because most the times narcissists have tried to threaten suicide with me it was so they could get what they want. Just because they have a low enough self-esteem and a big enough gotcha attitude problem to actually follow through doesn't make it my problem they're choosing to kill themselves. They can live or die with whatever choices they decide to make, but I don't coddle narcissists.

Setting boundaries with a closet narcissist results in them calling you toxic and poisonous because they can’t fathom a world in which they are free to make boundaries for themselves and have them be respected.

Apropos of nothing at all, I will share with you the dumbest fucking example of self-inflicted "anon harassment" I've ever been subjected to.
It's also why I have a good chunk of the old Homestuck circle I was tangentially part of blocked: they're friends with this person, and they follow them and reblog their posts all the time. This is not me saying they shouldn't be friends with her, or that no one is allowed to reblog/like her stuff. This is just me quarantining the wank so I don't have to be exposed to it, even on second hand.
But this particular idiot that I shall not name, because I'm classier than that, sent us (me, my friend and the shared blog we kept) a long ass tirade of like, sixty anon messages in total. Basic anon hate 101 shit. Basic bullshit.
The thing is, the anon hate was not targeting us. It was in fact weirdly, passive-aggressively complementary about us. It was targeting the idiot in question, and giving us a laundry list of all the godawful, terrible things this idiot had done and why we shouldn't associate with her, etc. Etc.
Obviously it was meant to prompt us into defending the idiot in question, you know, disputing all the allegations and publicly reinforcing our friendship and care for this particular idiot.
Except for the bit where half the anon messages were not, in fact, anon, and came straight from the idiot's own blog.
This is in fact the reason why I refuse to call this person anything else but, the idiot, but without Significant Capitalization, because they've shown both such callousness and such stupidity, they don't even deserve that. They're just a run of the mill idiot, cruel and crude and common. Completely unremarkable when you get down to it.
My point is that, after a while, you realize that just like random strangers in the bus won't set you up flawlessly for a scathing witty comeback that will end up in a public standing ovation, pretty much all anon hate isn't set up in such a way you can take off it and have a witty, incisive conversation off it. Because anon hate is stupid by definition. It's mean-spirited and cruel and purposefully not acknowledging your humanity. Because it's not meant to acknowledge your humanity. You cannot win a screaming match against someone leaving anon hate in your inbox, because there really isn't another person behind it, in so much as they're not available for you to converse or connect with. That's why the general advice is to "turn it off" or "stop reading it". Because there's nothing to gain by engaging with it, and you're just subjecting yourself to abuse, and potentially subjecting your followers to abuse, if you post that sort of thing publicly.
Unfortunately, there's some very unscrupulous people that, much like the idiot I just told you about, have figured out they can use the boogie man of anon harassment to manipulate people around them. It's not hard to notice, either, but if you've ever been the recipient of hateful words, you'll probably have the impulse to dismiss the realization. No one, surely, can be that callous, that crass, that hateful.
They are, sadly. And the best thing you can do is turn around and put as much distance between you as possible, when you realize it. This particular brand of idiot is a specialist in splash damage.
