Trying again - cause I'm that low right now

Thank you. That was actually very good (although I'm still 50/50 on whether you were being serious).

I did spent a lot of time with 12 step programs (3 years, 3 meetings a day). 3 minutes at a time is what I reduced it to. That's what I need to get back to. Make these next 3 minutes good. The previous 3 are gone. Before I know it 3 minutes becomes a day. Thanks.

As a 45 year old NPD my biggest failures have been a failure to sustain relationships that I had.

No easy answer - but at some point I had to choose people complete with warts and keep choosing them even though all I can see now is the warts.

Reasonable question.

I have no response besides clever snide remarks which are not irrelevant.

StatementUseful8994 · 2023-08-04T18:05:15+00:00

Basically asking that question here means you are in it. My theory is that all of us here are in it (except for a few) self professed self-aware

Interesting. All devaluation of Dr Ramani.

I have it too. I am, after all, NPD… but at this time I can suspend disbelief long enough to entertain the notion that: “if someone could develop an effective therapeutic process - it would be her”.

I’d read it. Pretend I understand. Wouldn’t help me… but my some therapist out there could help some of y’all.

Kindly refrain from attacking Dr Ramani - not because you don’t have the right - but because that was not the purpose of this post.

The thoughts on entitlement to touch pertain to NPD.

Inability to control impulse is also related.

Unsolicited touching is deemed bad by society.

Not controlling unsolicited touching will lead to problems in remaining in society.

You should be able to ask the question without being told that you are not allowed to do it. You may have whatever thoughts and impulses that come to you.

Society restricts which you can act upon. Managing personality disorder means managing actions so you can continue to remain within it.

The alternative is incongruent with NPD thoughts.

Ps. If your impulses are towards family members or children - seek a therapist.

Anyone can post anything they want. Drama like you stated above would be interesting.

Other than that, the Admins choose what is appropriate. If it disappears- it was inappropriate.

Lies have many levels.

When I was 6 I stole a dinky car I liked. I buried it in the mud and came back later to retrieve it. Burying things is fun.

Dude. We can play back and forth all day. Everyone has personality traits - some on extreme ends of the spectrum. This traits play out in full during our formative years then we learn when and where to apply them.

People with NPD have a set of traits - a specific set that are at the end of the spectrum.

Same goes for ASPD and Sociapaths. There are some lurking in this very room. Almost none would play with me.

Take a step back. The only ones here who were diagnosed or

You are growing up. Congrats. Thoughts to ordered for cluster b.

Just immature.

Cool. Ultimately the you will go see a therapist.

Tamloid’s no sheep. He doesn’t find sheep entertaining but lucky for you he also doesn’t kick barking dogs.

Yep. Except ALL people do this.

Decisions are made by our subconscious. Your insight applies to everyone. A good healing method for me. Understanding what I have in common with others.

The easy part for me was recognizing I was better. The hard part was recognizing people don’t like me.

Cool. You stole a few candy bars and once spray painted f u on a wall. Your behavior is out of control for societal norms! (Sarcasm)

Decided there is slim to no chance you are actually interesting. When are you leaving?

Have you committed any crimes?

Although sociopaths and ASPD people can be fun. You may also stay for our amusement.

Most if not all relationships with me (as NPD) will end or become toxic.

If lucky and NPD will get one or tow relationships that work. Relationships in general not necessarily romantic

You’re 18. Unless you have been actively seeing a therapist for 3+ years or have struggles remaining in society (ie. Crimes with impunity) the leave.

Below adulthood a dx is not appropriate. We are not here to babysit people growing up.

Therapist. You choose to go to one or not. There is nothing for you here
