Psychological Notes - Nikolai Gogol - BSD
These are some simple notes on his psychology
I've done a little analysis on Fyodor in the past. Which you can read here:
Some S4 SPOILERS (nothing huge, tho)
HPD - Histrionic Personality Disorder.
I think anyone who is familiar with HPD can identify Nikolai with it immediately. On a more broad spectrum, he's a near embodiment of HPD.
Histrionic Personality Disorder main Symptoms:
- the constant need for attention/ attention seeking behavior (ex: mannerisms that seek attention, clothing that seeks attention, a specific way of speaking that seeks attention)
- being uncomfortable /physically uncomfortable in situations in which the individual is not the center of attention
- being overly provocative/ seductive
-displaying emotions that seem to be shallow and change rapidly/ do not remain consistent
- speaking vaguely, lacking detail
- being easily influenced by others or circumstances
Considering relationships to be much more intimate than they actually are
On that last point, it brings special attention to Nikolai and his behaviors in S4
His 'friendship' with Fyodor might very well exist only in his head. Fyodor allows him to entertain the delusion to keep him under some flimsy emotional obligation Nikolai sets up for himself. Though, as we've seen, he matches the symptoms as far as shallow and inconsistent emotions go. In one scene, he rejoices over reuniting with Fyodor, and the other, he sends him off to a very possible death.
Nikolai is very eccentric. Going out of his way for flare and drama. Although, on par with HPD, whenever his attention seeking behavior is ignored or doesn't receive the reaction he needed or expected, he either can become distressed or escalate his antics greatly.
//////////
A scene that's very memorable and relevant for Nikolai is his: "I'm completely sane" scene.
Tumblr media
I doubt that I need to come in here and tell you that this is very unlikely to be true.
To break this down... there is the notion of "sane or Insane Homicide". That refers to circumstantial points. Sane homicide would imply an act of self-defense or perhaps an accident. The person who committed the homicide was a victim of circumstance or negligence. They had no choice, where survival came first, and they needed to protect themselves or others against another human being that was threatening the individual's life. This presents a completely sane person commuting homicide out of need for survival or prevention of harm to oneself or others.
Insane Homicide would go down the path of a crime committed more out of a 'want' than a 'need'.
Nikolai is not physically forced or obligated to commit the murders and atrocities he is responsible for. He isn't trapped or manipulated (as he hates brainwashing by default i doubt he'd allow himself to be a part of it).
Tumblr media
Though if I were to assume, Nikolai could be experiencing a compulsion. This refers to an action that the brain feels a pressing NEED to do. If not, Nikolai may feel uncomfortable or feel physically unwell. Compulsions are most often the results of the brain's desire to cure an obsession.
If you are obsessed with germs or cleanliness, you may feel the compulsive need to wash your hands very often. The obsession causes you to be anxious and overthink -> so your brain tries to resolve that obsession every time it occurs, through that compulsion to wash up.
Nikolai is obsessed with freedom. Complete and utter freedom from the world, society, feelings, and existence. To be truly free. His brain could be trying to resolve this obsession by compulsively 'freeing' people (murdering them) from feelings and, therefore, existence. Nikolai temporarily resolves his obsession with freedom by compulsively freeing those around him. If that obsession in his mind isn't resolved, he can not function. The brain needs and wants to function, so it resolves it repeatedly. Because what resolved it once will resolve it every time. And if the obsession can't be resolved, Nikolai grows uneasy and uncomfortable.
Much like a person who can not control their own mind and life, and compulsively chooses to control other's.

Sperry, 2003 on the optimal functioning level of the obsessive-compulsive (anankastic) personality style:
This person has a desire to complete tasks and projects without flaws or errors.
This person takes pride in doing all jobs and tasks well, including the smallest details.
This individual tends to want things done “just right” with some tolerance for things being done another way.
This individual is dedicated to working hard and is capable of intense, single-minded effort.
This person carefully considers alternatives and their consequences while making decisions.
This person is generally careful, thrifty, and cautious but able to share from their abundance.
This person tends to save and collect objects and may be reluctant to discard objects.
This person tends to have strong moral principles and strongly desires to do the right thing.
This person is a no-nonsense individual who does work without much emotional expenditure.
This corresponds to the Compliant type in the DiSC personality type system, and the traditional melancholic temperament.

Cluster C Flags I Will Use!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I managed to find and/or create some Cluster C Pride Flags, for those with Cluster C Disorders!
First Flag: Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) - created by @toobs
Second Flag: Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD) - created by Me, inspired by @avpdvoidspace 's flag
Third Flag: Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) - created by @21stcenturynarc
Anyone can use these (mine, at least), as anyone should be able to represent their disorder properly.

last year i realised, that i suffer from self destructive behaviour and aspire to be perfect at the same time. i remember a time when i was mentally burnt out and have been working 6 days a week without any break and that for almost half of a year. it was tough working two jobs, going to university, doing the household, staying up late and getting up early, while trying to maintain a social life where i took care of my family and spend the nights with my friends. i did it all. and i was good at it. but it made me exhausted and both my environment and i realised, something needs to change. whenever i tried to be perfect during that time i paid attention to every detail and worked by myself lots of time, so i’m the one who has control over everything. i sacrificed myself for others. and i couldn’t accept any form of help. nowadays i feel better and can slowly reflect on that time.

to my psychotic/paranoid/OCD/other friends - you might start seeing posts in the next few days about how the rapture supposedly happened or is going to happen very soon. a group of evangelical “rapture watchers” think the rapture happened 9/22/23 for a handful of reasons, such as the dates lining up in a way that’s somehow significant.
i promise the rapture didn’t happen. i don’t personally believe in the rapture and i have nothing against those who do, but it for sure didn’t already happen. if it did everyone would know. there would be tons of footage. anyone who tries to claim it did happen or that they know the date is either lying or misguided.

Being on the internet with OCD is like “I want to post a picture of my outfit because I look bomb but what if my full address and National Insurance number is written in the reflection of this random public bathroom mirror and I didn’t notice”

Being neurodivergent is truly so inconvenient. We need to talk about that more. I had the whooole last half of last week and this whooole weekend to do nothing but study for my big exam on Thursday. I have not even yet managed to finish the remaining 15 pages of one of the texts. And the worst thing is, I don't feel like doing anything else either!! It's not like I desperately need to draw, it's not like I desperately want to play a game, or watch a specific tv show or read a specific comic. No, nope. I'm just absolutely unable to do the ONE thing I had planned my whole time to do - to study about a topic I'm EXTREMELY passionate about and know WHY it's important that I do so - and when I try to push through it I fall fucking asleep! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!! So I end up losing hours and hours on social media, and now executive dysfunction is screwing me all over, I'm taking my meds super late and waking up super late, and the whole day ends up being a mess!!
"We all have the same 24 hours on the day" you speak for your abled self, I barely get 10 these days!

cluster a and cluster c culture is constantly being left out of conversations about personality disorders while still facing intense stigma and social isolation for your symptoms :/

Examples: preoccupation with getting things right leads to always being behind in projects; being overly inflexible leads to tension and conflicts in relationships; hoarding money leads to self-imposed poverty, etc.
Examples and explanation of symptoms from the DSM-5-TR:

I was recently diagnosed with an incredibly rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a genetic mutation on the PPP2R1A gene. The disorder is so rare it doesn't have a fancy name yet 😅 the worst symptoms of my disorder is the mental illnesses I deal with. Add onto that childhood abuse targeted at me because of my undiagnosed issues and I got the shit storm of mental health.
I have been diagnosed with C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD, PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), Borderline Personality Disorder, Excoriation Disorder (severe skin picking), and Sensory Processing Disorder. Informally diagnosed as Autistic.
My entire life, I just thought I was a broken human being. Turns out I just have a genetic disorder that literally causes me to lose my mind 🤣 I always knew that mental illnesses liked to come in groups, but I got hit with the one-two punch that has left me unable to function on my own

Being neurodivergent is so fun (/sarcastic) because you can stand there for a solid hour or two not being able to choose what to eat for a variety of reasons that only another neurodivergent people understand. Keep in mind these aren't meant to sound logical. Hence neurodivergent. We know it doesn't make sense logically, but we still feel what we feel. Texture Flavor Memories/association Doesn't go with today's mood You 'Don't deserve it today' If I eat this then I can't have this because it'll mess with this Misinterpreting/misremembering what something is Based on color Based on Order Wanting something mid-cooking and then changing your mind Simply a "I could have this or I could have that" and us being a little more emotional over the fact that we can't always have both at the same time. And then of course our dilemmas of when we do choose our food WHY IS IT TOUCHING WHY IS IT NOT MIXED (particularly added this one because there's some food I physically cannot eat unless they're mixed and I think it's an OCD thing, like mashed potatoes and corn-) PLEASE feel free to add on! I love hearing what other people have in their heads. These are just ones that i have on a daily basis. <3
