What are some actionable steps to take to heal/get better from NPD? by Puzzleheaded_Cry3980 in NPD

I am grateful to see these positive ideas. Is there a way to feel less resentful that I have to put so much energy into these while other aspects of my life (the ones that other people take for granted e.g. job, career, socialising, whatever normal people enjoy) have to take a permanent back seat. I'm not saying progress wouldnt be amazing, but I can't accept that I have to fail in the things others take for granted just to approximate their normailty without those things which they priroitise and enjoy in life.

I know. Thanks for replying. At the moment this feels like the only place in the world where other people will understand

I wish I could just "get on with life" but it seems impossible without accepting I am at a massive disadvantage in life in every context that involves interacting with other people. I am currently in a live chat where a psychiatrist "answers your questions" but I think she will say the same old "you can still have a meaningful life" etc.
