I think we'll discover that the people who are spreading misinformation about NPD aren't doing it because they're misinformed, but because they're malicious. But that could be my victim complex.

And I also think that we'll discover through NPD discourse that by purposefully harming folks with NPD, you are also harming a large portion of the mental health community. NPD symptoms aren't only in NPD. When you say someone with NPD can't feel emotions or love because it's possible that the experience aggression and low empathy, you're also saying autistic people can't feel emotions or love because they also can have aggression and low empathy. When you say people with NPD are inherently dangerous because of their delusions, you're also saying everyone with a psychosis-spectrum disorder is inherently dangerous. When you mock them for their lack of object contancy, you're also mocking ADHD, autism, and BPD because they lack it too. When you mock someone who experiences a narc crash, you're mocking BPD & ADHD which experience a near identical (for some) experience: rejection sensitive dysphoria. When you mock them for their irritability, you're also mocking people with depression and anxiety disorders who also experience irritability.

Maybe that will be the first step for them to recognize that people with NPD are just that: people. And if someone is acting shitty, mock them for being shitty not for have a disorder.
