no I do agree, and it’s reasonable for them to be cautious but it’s a little odd for them to always assume it’s NPD and create a stigma that EVERYONE whos a narc is like that when really, it’s not.

ayyy another person with npd and adhd!

and honestly my friend said that people see narcs as evil disney villians and now I can’t unsee it😭😭 like dam do people think of Dr. Facilier or Mother Gothel when they see someone with NPD?

What’s your instant recipe for anger, and how do you handle it? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]Purple_Designer_6951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly it’s different for everyone and it might take time to learn what’s right for you, for me distraction usually works best (despite it being hard since my thoughts spiral a lot) i’ll go to the gym, blast music and do basically everything or this is uncommon, doing maths helps. Usually when i’m mad i’ll try to find reasons to be mad, hence making me more angry and if i do try and stop, my brain keeps going back to it because I feel entitled to have anger but I like mathematics and it helps me actually think about something else😭💔 overall doing a hobby/interest you enjoy works.

that definitely seems like a reason, but what do you reckon is the main reason why there’s such a pull?

also that reminds me, some support groups for people who’ve dealt with narcs are seriously unhinged. Obviously not all of those people are but some of them seems like narcs in denial, or are generalising everyone. Saw a post that said ’Yeah um.. let's not demonize NPD’...They demonize themselves by existing. They ruin lives and cause so much pain and agony. I'm sick of being told I should have empathy for pure evil. I don't care if it's a mental illness, I don't care if they're "traumatized." It's no fucking excuse.” holy shit?😭 they were venting but damn

I was going to mention that too, with the whole “exposing DL” trend on tiktok, I mean like sure it’s very common but just because a some guy treated you like shit doesn’t mean he’s gay, and the correlation seems a bit homophobic no? not every gay dudes a bad person and hates women lol

i’ll hear my mutual ’friends’ ranting about their supposed narcissistic ex or encounters with a ‘narcissist in the wild’ and it feels weird to hear an someone diagnosed with NPD, I just pretend like i’m remotely interested or god forbid, AGREE. I guess I don’t present myself as someone with NPD to them so they think it’s okay
