When I was 20 I was diagnosed by a psychologist with having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At first I was in denial about but over time I come to terms with my narcissism and the diagnosis started to make sense to me. A lot of my problems can be traced back to my unrealistic self image and lack of ability to relate with others.

There’s a lot of stigma towards NPD. I hope by making this thread I can help others understand that having NPD doesn’t inherently make you a bad person and NPD hurts the person with it as well.

    Joke question: jeez man, why you gotta make the post all about you?

    Serious question: have you engaged in narcissistic abuse of anyone?

      What even is “narcissistic” abuse? How is it any different then regular abuse?
