Can we as a society stop using "narcissistic abuse" and making all narcissists out to be abusive and will abuse everyone they come in contact with in medical articles. I just want a reliable source about npd supply without being called manipulative and abuser in the first paragraph

Me when my supply is from online validation but I'm really bad at tagging posts so no one sees them

NPD Culture: Getting jealous that my moots get a ton of asks and interactions, and feeling as if I am lesser than them due to not gaining as many

[strayattackdogs]

Me when I'm happy because I know I'll always be better than ableist dickheads

Ideas for creating your own supply (NPD)

"Supply" refers to the sources of validation that people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) use to regulate their self-esteem. While the "ideal" is generally considered to be a state of not needing validation and accepting yourself as you are, this is not everyone's goal, and it doesn't happen overnight. Another option is to learn to create your own supply without relying on others.

(This post will grow over time; check the original post for updates before reblogging! If you have your own ideas, I encourage you to share in the notes!)

MOST IMPORTANT ONE: Celebrate yourself after doing any of the following (or in general)

Compliment yourself

Make a list of positive traits that you have

Journal about/explore your positive traits in depth

Journal about/explore the positive sides of your negative traits in depth (example: low empathy makes you more rational in a crisis)
