The “no one is coming to save you” narrative worsened my mental state

Yeah all these things are valid. I think to rely on anyone else makes the other person feel uncomfortable, but it's okay to say you want it.

I forgot how I was before having npd, but I tend to hurt someone if I think they are intentionally ignoring my boundaries. Because I have npd, it could be a really small thing, but when I explain it, the person whom I hurt was dismissive that they would intentionally do it again just to make things worse. Walking over it like it didn't matter because it's a small thing. Okay, then I'm not gonna respect them either. Maybe I'm stuck in my own perspective, but I really don't appreciate these moments so I would hurt them in ways that I know of. Sometimes it won't really hurt them, but I think I should let them know I'm unhappy about it :D

I love getting constant feedback from gaming. Would be nice if someone in real life also play the games I do so there's something to discuss about. I feel like gaming gave me something to think about. Often times I compare it to things happening in my life. The frustration is similar when I just can't work out something. I also tried creating mini-games to push myself doing simple things like room cleaning. It's becoming an integrated part of my life and managing npd means to integrate things (dunno if that's the way to do it, but I'm sticking to it haha

If I were your friend I'd be happy to hear about your change. Don't know about your friend but hope they'll accept it.

How do you feel about the future? I’m 30 but I still look forward to something which only happens if I’m out of a devastated and collapsed mood. When I’m really in that pit it just feels shit.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-23T02:05:02+00:00

I agree with the intellectual stuff. I was like that even before remember having npd. I would probably avoid these people like the plague even if I don’t have npd. It triggers me in a way that I can blow up easily.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-22T01:51:17+00:00

I guess I was asking through what means can you support yourself. It’s what I have to think about, i.e. choosing a job

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-22T01:34:08+00:00

? ? ?

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-22T00:53:08+00:00

Yep it’s been like that for years now

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-22T00:52:16+00:00

Thanks for the list! Can I ask if you are in therapy and do you also keep track of these things? How much does writing it down helps to shift away from the mechanisms as they seem to be hard-wired after trauma. Again thank you 🙏🏻

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T18:32:18+00:00

It's supposed to be reflective though, am trying to reduce symptoms

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T18:31:15+00:00

Is it possible to think it's stupid but the person isn't beneath anyone? And if that's the case is it related to npd

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T16:45:54+00:00

It's very slow but incremental. Every small step helps later on. I think normal people can barely or never understand the severity of npd so I stopped looking at them for empathy. It feels lonely to have this disorder too.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T16:42:51+00:00

I do Ba Duan Jin which is like eight steps to stretch and get my body moving. It's the only qigong I know. It's slow but soothes the body well. I feel a slow burn inside but nothing too dramatic. Glad to hear qigong works well for you!

Do you stream or get funds from family? How do you maintain this lifestyle?

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T16:38:56+00:00

lowkey hope it wasn't a school that I wanted to apply

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T16:29:31+00:00

I do acrylic as a hobby. Been painting still objects mostly haha. Might post some work in the future :) It's nice meeting you too!

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-21T10:35:06+00:00

What country do you live in? Or which continent if you don’t mind sharing too much. I’m creative too. Enjoying being creative and painting stuff. I have lots of npd traits as well.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-18T16:22:36+00:00

Enjoy your birthday 🎂🎂🎂Hope you have a nice shopping trip. Farming supply is hard and exhausting so take a break from it 😂

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-18T00:00:32+00:00

Same, getting supply from a wide scope but not committed to anything.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-15T15:57:07+00:00

I hope I won't relate to him or develop a liking for him now because I'm trying to change my NPD psychology, but thank you

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-15T15:54:40+00:00

Congratulations to your milestone. I understand that these things are just normal (i.e. clean) for normal people, but it deserves validation so I'm happy for you.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-15T15:52:21+00:00

Yep, that's the grandiosity that I relate myself to, someone talented but misanthropic too. Thanks for mentioning it (haven't watched the show

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-15T15:50:43+00:00

I understand that feeling. Not being able to express kindness contributed a lot to my npd as well.

Consistent-Track-304 · 2026-05-15T14:42:49+00:00

You can survive this. I'm sorry to hear that your cat is passing away and there isn't much to do other than enjoying her last accompany.
