Let’s go through the hate in this comment step-by-step:

  • NPD is not ASPD. This person is either woefully misinformed about us, or is deliberately trying to attack us by conflating us with another stigmatised mental disorder. And why comment about personality disorders if you don’t even know what they are? ASPD is in a whole other cluster. It’s either ignorance or hate.

  • NPD is not a personality, it’s a personality disorder. The difference being, not every narcissist is a mental clone with the same personality. That’s so dehumanising!

  • the literal personification of individualism WHAT. This absolutely reeks of those tankie conspiracy theories that narcissists are responsible for capitalism because we totally control the world since you’re not allowed to blame it on the jews anymore. No, NPD has nothing to do with individualist ideology, in fact narcissists are capable of tremendous collective thinking, as evidenced by the fact that I’m fucking swarmgender and I mindmeld with my partners. This person took a look at the literal godsdamned hivemind and said “personification of individualism”, because that’s how much they hate narcissists.

  • “is something that it believes shouldn’t be maligned” yes I believe mental disorders shouldn’t be maligned. This is basic fucking leftism you libshit.

  • “they don’t have the ability to understand what is problematic about their behavior” Infantilising and patronising. “Oh, narcissists don’t have free will to choose good, they’re inherently evil” Fuck the fuck off. Dehumanising as fuck. And completely medically wrong, because NPD as a disorder is initially CAUSED by being too aware of personal failings. That’s why we need the grandiose personas.

  • “the fact that it hurts others that makes it a pathology.” completely misunderstanding the field of psychology I guess. Psychologist are DOCTORS. They help people who are HARMED by their disorders. There is no such thing as a hurting other people disorder. Psychologists deal in medicine, if you want to talk about morality go talk to a priest. Psychologists don’t care about the morality of their patients because doctors are supposed to heal, not to judge. This is basic fucking intro to psych.

      Probably. The screenshot was a few kilobytes. Maybe it just limits the rates on nhew communities, but that limit is way too low
