I think another example of traits and symptoms being described harsher in personality disorders is how "masking" is suddenly thought of as a malicious evil scheme as soon as its applied to aspd or npd
This!!! This so much. Masking my NPD? evil! horrible! manipulator! But suddenly it doesn't matter if it's my ADHD I'm masking, then it's understandable and just things neurodivregent people do to survive...
So I said, "with all due disrespect, fuck you." in response to a bigot and thought, wait, Jason Todd would def say that—
cw: transphobia & casual ableism against delusional people
This is the post that helped with my gender dysphoria btw, so thanks nureposts
happy to help, may your bigenderisms flourish
LMAOOO
I can't believe I have to clarify this. acute anxiety isn't PTSD. PTSD is a chronic condition which has sustained itself for 3 months or more, is associated with various levels of dysfunction and maladaptive schemas, and is clinically significant. Acute anxiety lasts for less than a month, is temporary, and associated with a specific situational stressor — i.e. if you've ever moved house and been stressed and anxious about the move because it's in another city, and you have to relocate jobs and register your kids to a different school, and move your furniture intercity or even interstate... congratulations, you've experienced acute anxiety. This is not a war casuality, this is the human condition, and a very common experience. It is not clinically significant anxiety. It is not a disorder.
I feel very equipped to address this especially because a) I practice psychology, b) I have experienced both PTSD and acute anxiety. In fact, I currently suffer from PTSD due to a near death experience, sustained physical assault and sexual assault. I have experienced acute anxiety several times in my life. I cannot emphasize how common of an experience it is, you change jobs? Acute anxiety. You graduate school and start applying to multiple universities? Acute anxiety. The latter of which happens to be my most salient experience with acute anxiety because I moved continents for university. It was particularly stressful because even after I received an offer (my application was accepted) my visa came out only a week before the semester's commencement so by that point I hadn't registered in any of my classes out of worry that I'd have to defer to the next semester — which means when I received my visa I had to scramble to book a flight and sort my luggage. I had to travel to another city because there wasn't an international airport in mine, then I had to travel for 27 hours because my university was located in another continent and very far from mine, then I had a one day layover before I could travel to my university's city, then I had to set up a bank account so I could use public transportation in that city in a different country in a different continent because I was freshly 18 and didn't have a drivers license... and this is on the further end of the subjective distress continuum of acute anxiety, because this is by no means a typical experience. Yes, there are many international students, especially when you consider globally ranked universities which make majority of their profits off international students and researchers, but it's by no means a typical experience because majority of people study university in the same country they reside, not many make that significant milestone while immigrating countries. But, it was still not a clinically significant experience. It is not a disorder. It does not require clinical expertise. Having experienced both this and PTSD I can tell you they are very different experiences with very, very, different levels of dysfunction and impact on quality of life.
If you're wondering why I'm addressing PTSD, a lot of the comments on this post talk about PTSD or conversely other anxiety disorders in a 'casualties aren't less valid just because it's a mental condition' tone, which while I agree with the sentiment, is not applicable to this specific scenario. Counting acute anxiety (temporary anxiety due to a situational life stressor, not a disorder, not clinically significant) as a casualty is not only inaccurate and misleading, but deliberate disinformation for the purposes of artificially inflating casuality numbers (under false pretenses) in an attempt to justify genocide, massacres and war crimes.
For people who want to be pedantic and say "but it says treated for—", you can seek counseling for non disordered and non clinically significant distress, a lot of people seek grief counselling (not prolonged grief disorder) this does not make grief a medical condition. And this is the most out there example that's associated with high levels of subjective distress. Otherwise many people seek counseling for things like: stress management, life transitions (e.g. marriage, divorce, parenthood, moving house, moving jobs....), work related issues (particularly SFBT aka situation focused brief therapy). Some governments even subsidize treatment, that is to say a single counselling session or multiple counselling sessions, if you get laid off a job. None of these are medical conditions, all of these are very natural and common human experiences that are a) transient, b) experienced at least once in a lifetime. Again: Not medical. Not clinical.
Which brings me back to my previous point, this is deliberate disinformation.
Being a narcissist is bizarre because every so often you see someone talking about what it supposedly feels like to be abused by a narcissist and then they describe... what it feels like to be a fucking narcissist
theres a part of me that really wants attention all the time and just wants to talk about myself non-stop, but it feels so gross to admit that to other people for some reason, that i often do the exact opposite. i ask people how they are, try not to talk about myself, never admit that i need attention, never ask for anything from someone. because i feel like admitting my negative feelings and such makes me unlikeable, so i end up doing things that i know people like. i try to make myself as likeable as possible, and end up ignoring my own needs or wants in the process
Heavy clashes and air raids are reported as negotiations to extend pause in fighting end without breakthrough.
According to Gaza’s health ministry, at least 21 people have been killed since Israel’s army resumed its attacks: ... Nine in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
And yet, where is Israel telling the residents of Khan Yunis to evacuate to?
Israeli forces have been dropping leaflets in certain areas of Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, warning civilians to evacuate southwards towards Rafah – a city bordering Egypt that was targeted by Israeli air raids earlier this morning.
This is ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are displacing Gazans closer and closer to the Rafah border because they want to push them into Sinai. They don't care how many they kill to do it (21 martyrs confirmed in the past two hours since the genocide resumed!!!).
Don't stop talking about Palestine.
Demand a permanent ceasefire NOW.
Pressure your governments, do not allow them to continue displacing and killing Palestinians.
We are officially past the numbers of the Nakba since before the truce. Do not let them increase even further!
As a leftist Jew who believes strongly in the cause of dignity and freedom for the Palestinian people, and that Israel has abused them, I am begging fellow leftists to understand that real life is not a comic book. A government being “the bad guy” in a situation does not automatically make anyone who opposes it “the good guy”.
Hamas denies the Holocaust. Hamas disseminates the Protocols of the Elders of Zion—the conspiracy theory it paints is what they mean by “Zionist”. Hamas forbids foreign aid educators from teaching human rights to Palestinians, and claims that even teaching that the Holocaust happened is a war crime. Hamas has written the aim of annihilating Israel (the country and its people) into its charter—the mass slaughter and violent expulsion of 7 million Jews from the land is written into its laws.
There is no crime any state could ever do that would justify any of that; there is no act of state repression that could ever make it acceptable to side with the organization spreading Nazi pamphlets and Holocaust denial.
Oppose Bibi Netanyahu. Oppose Israel’s far-right, authoritarian government. Oppose its apartheid policies. Oppose its violent abuse of the Palestinian people. That isn’t antisemitic. But Hamas is—verifiably, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to its core—antisemitic. Its portrayal of Israeli Jews as blood-thirsty, child-killing master manipulators that control international media and finance is antisemitic. Its insistence that Palestinian freedom necessitates the death & expulsion of Jews from the land is antisemitic. Its redefinition of “Zionism” as a pejorative to mean genocidal Jewish/Israeli Supremacy is antisemitic.
Supporting the Palestinian people in their plight is a noble and loving goal; please never stop that. But do not let Hamas co-opt that into excusing or denying their rampant antisemitism and war crimes.
Okay this is vile. This isn't about hammas. It's about an oppressed, colonized, genocided people reclaiming their land.
Remember how we can't be racist to white people because of power structures? Even if Hammas is spreading this bullshit and even if every single Palestinian in Gaza was somehow antisemitic (which is not the point they're literally just trying to reclaim land and "political prisoners"), Palestinians don't have the systematic power to do anything about it.
This isn't about Hammas. It's about a people who have been uprooted, rounded up in an open air prison, no entry or exist allowed, without military (which is how extremist militias like Hammas get into power; I'd also like to put forward the reminder that extremist militias like the Haganah, Irgun and LEHI are what established Israel in the first place) or clean water or access to literally any basic life necessities, where serval airstrikes are carried out weekly. And now the fence is down and Gaza is fighting for its freedom and the freedom of its people with the only means it has.
You can't claim to be for decolonization, or that you stand with Indigenous & oppressed peoples when you won't stand by them because their only means of fighting back isn't ideologically pure. In a place where those ideological impurities can't have material impact given the political power structures in place.
The material reality isn't an ideal situation and cannot be, because Israel made it that way.
Hammas wouldn't exist the way it does if it wasn't for Israel, similarly to how, say, ISIS wouldn't exist if it weren't for the USA.
Also I'm sorry but Zionists (who later played a hand in the establishment of Israel) themselves had recorded, working collaboration with Nazis — You need to look no further than The Ha’avara Agreement and Kazstner’s deal in Hungary for that, or hell the fact that Eichmann had documented relations with many Zionist figures. Israel deliberately enticed antisemitism in the SWANA region (Iraq in particular) in order to get citizens, because when it was first trying to establish itself it didn't have enough to constitute a labour force (look at the works of Avi Shalim, an Israeli-British historian).
But it's fine for Israel to actively work with Nazis and entice antisemitism in other countries as part of its process in establishing a settler colonial state???
But Gazawis (and Palestinians broadly) with no military who only have an extremist militia due to the political winger Israel itself crafted, aren't allowed their only means of resistance to reclaim their land?
Hammas isn't good, true. But this isn't about Hammas, it's about Indigenous liberation and the reclaimation of stolen land.
To characterize this as anything but a response to decades old oppression, ethnic cleansing and active genocide is disingenuous at best.
There will never be an ideal road towards liberation. The reality on the ground won't allow that. Militias are the only means of armed resistance Palestinians have (because Palestine does not have and are not allowed a military) and armed resistance is needed when the entity you're fighting against is actively committing a genocide against your people.
And this is the reality on the ground:
Also, a little reminder that armed resistance against occupation is a legal right under international law. So war crimes are not, in fact, being committed.

true crime is becoming to girls what ww2 is to boys
#there’s definitely some amount of difference#because a lot of women get into true crime#because they’re overly aware that the majority of the murder victims are women#and it’s kind of a response to knowing how dangerous it is to exist in this world as a woman- like ‘this could be me’#or ‘this is how i would protect myself if i were in this situation’#or even trying to make true crime seem more like a show because it makes the possibility that they’ll be harmed seem less likely#but also there’s serial killer fangirls so like#you really can’t defend that
The majority of murder victims are, in fact, men.
Specifically, 79%.
The most murdered group, specifically, are black men.
The LEAST murdered demographic are middle class white women, who oddly make up a majority of the murder victims shown in true crime programs and news reports, and also the ones who make up the majority of true crime fans.
It’s called Missing White Woman Syndrome, and it’s based in racist disregard for non-white lives and patriarchal protectiveness of (white) women and it leads white middle class women to have a vastly overblown idea of their own vulnerability to random serial killers.
Note, ‘overblown.’ These women are feeling fear for a vanishingly unlikely occurrence, akin to preppers who spend their lives preparing for Russian invasions. It’s not a healthy or rational fear, and it shouldn’t be encouraged.
The analogy is also apt, even if watching out of own personal fears. In the end you’re still watching police propaganda, to justify the use of the prison systems (or capital punishment), and it’s purposely playing on your fascination and disgust to do this. The same bigoted system most privileged will buy their way out off anyway. Its reactionary as shit lol.
The most threatened group of women in America is actually indigenous women. Compared to other demographics we have the highest rates of missing and murdered women. The murder rate of indigenous women is 10x higher than the average and it is the 3rd highest cause of death among native people in general. (Source)
But you never see true crime shows talk about that.
It also perpetuates this false idea that murder is isolated, and not a byproduct of systematic issues such as white supremacy and racism (which is evident when you see that the victims of murder are, overwhelmingly, black men. And that as op mentioned above, indigenous women have the highest rates among women of missing person cases and being murdered, at 10x higher than average).
It grossly misrepresents murder as an “outlier” and not a societal issue that bares discussing, who it’s victims are, who’s most at risk, who it’s perpetuaters are, the reasons behind it and offers false solutions. To do that, it scapegoats other marginalized communities to further enforce the idea that it’s seperate, isolated, that it isn’t something “normal people” do and isn’t due to the preexisting systems of oppression — instead, murderers are pathologized as “narcissists” “psychopaths” “sociopaths”, they’re “delusional”, they’re “manic”, they’re not normal, they’re not human, they’re less than human. Now, if only we could spot these people and isolate them, incarcerate them, earlier… that would prevent murder.
It’s eugenics 101. It supports the prison industrial complex with psychiatry as its prop. It trains you to view criminals as inhuman and therefore underserving of humane treatment, it tells you that stripping people’s autonomy is okay as a “preventive” measure. For those kinds of people, for “narcissists” and “sociopaths” and… you don’t necessarily have to be either.
Did you know that black boys are overwhelmingly misdiagnosed with ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) due racial stereotyping? That this is an actual issue in psychiatry?
Malicious misdiagnosis is also a thing, when you give someone, or a whole institution, the power to strip someone of their autonomy with the right diagnosis, that system will be abused. How many people have been diagnosed with ASPD (antisocial personality disorder) while undergoing trial, and how many times has that played into judicial bias against these highly stigmatized disorders and been used as justification to lengthen a prison sentence? How many times has that happened to people of marginalized backgrounds to give them sentences disproportionate to their crimes? I’ll let you sit with that for a bit.
There’s a long, historical link, between the criminal justice system, white supremacy, and the psychiatric system — and it is oh-so-wonderfully shown to us in True Crime. In the biases that True Crime promotes.
The demonization and abuse of Personality Disorders (particularly Cluster B personality disorders), Psychotic Disorders and Dissociative Disorders as well as the demonization of their symptoms and related psychiatric terminology (“manic”, “delusional”) is absolutely peak ableism and eugenics, but it is also an ableist system that allows for abuse and misuse of authority in ways that make other marginalized communities more vulnerable and at higher risk for incarceration. It is frequently abused towards that purpose.
This is a big part of what makes our systems of oppression, our struggles, and our liberation so tied together.
It is also a big part of the propaganda true crime spreads.
You can be a true crime fan and go, “I’m not racist!” but a lot of the time your murder victims are overwhelmingly marginalized poc, and the misrepresentation of murder is a racial issue. The copganda in true crime is a racial issue. And often times your “sociopathic criminal” is also a Black man, who’s had a thoroughly demonized mental illness weaponized against him.
Alright, you’re not racist, you’re aware of copganda, but are you cognizant of the more insidious dehumanizing ableism that has deep roots in, and is often one of the most enjoyable aspects of, true crime? Or have you completely missed it? And are you aware of how this ableism, and the current psychiatric system as a whole, is weaponized against racial minorities and used to further support the current prison industrial complex?
The misrepresentation of murder is a racial issue.
true crime is becoming to girls what ww2 is to boys

every time i see someone talk broadly about how mental illness is ‘being destigmatized’ i’m like speak for yourself buddy. some of us still have brain disorders that if you google them the first 1000 responses are like ‘how to explode people with this condition with deadly bombs and fire and then douse the ashes in acid so they dont rise again craving the flesh of the living’
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I introduce you to: NPD
Quick, is narcissist an insult or a diagnosis?
(It's the latter)
welcome back to another instalment of what the fuck is wrong with quora users?
What the fuck. That's a 3 year old... what "Satan's child" and why are you diagnosing her with every stigmatized PD under the sun ???
NPD creative culture is convincing yourself that in order to be "great" you have to put the absolute maximal amount of effort into every single thing you make, and ending up in this cycle where the things you love doing continuously stress you out and you slowly fall out of love with the things that used to being you joy and comfort, all because you're not "the best", and if you aren't "the best" then what's even the point of doing the thing you like?
Also, npd creative culture is being stuck between admiring "the greats" and the people who's art inspires you, and despising them because you'll never live up to the things they're doing and people will never consider you as great as them.
.
npd culture is collecting random useless shit you think was "meant" for you specifically
.
npd culture is every time you report and block one of the tumblr porn bots youre like "i am single handedly fixing the issue i will save us all you should all be thanking me rn"
