i hate when people are "smarter" than me but i also hate when people are stupider than me. oh well.

I feel you anon, I feel you.

it bothers me so much when "mental health advocates" are only supportive of the "acceptable" symptoms and disorders...

people who "advocate" for depression but call others disgusting for having trouble showering, or people who "advocate" for trauma survivors but say you shouldnt express your trauma in art or talk about it because its "triggering"...

people who "advocate" for BPD but demonize NPD and ASPD as if they arent in the same cluster...

people "support mental health" until it isnt relatable. people "support mental health" until it cant be romanticized. people "support mental health" until symptoms disrupt life. people "support mental health" until symptoms are noticeable and not easily hidden.

you are not an advocate if you do not advocate for us all. you cannot be a mental health advocate while also talking badly about people with personality disorders, including ASPD and NPD. you cannot be a mental health advocate if you make fun of autistic people who are visibly autistic. you cannot be a mental health advocate if you call the police on someone with psychosis for talking to themselves in public.

if your entire "advocacy" revolves around demonizing more "severe" symptoms or disorders, and romanticizing the "good" and "relatable" symptoms or disorders, you are not an ally. you are feeding into stereotypes.

i have ASPD and NPD. the amount of hate i see in "advocate" spaces is honestly shocking. if your entire advocacy revolves around "helping depressed autistics escape evil narcissists!!!!", you are not an advocate, you are ableist.

people with stigmatized disorders or symptoms should not have to water down the way they experience life and describe their personal symptoms and experiences just to avoid being called bad people. by demonizing some disorders while romanticizing others under the guise of "advocacy", you are spreading misinformation and reinforcing stereotypes. you are worsening the stigma for people who already struggle. you are harming everyone with struggles, because a lot of society does not see a difference of "good" vs "bad" mental illness. to ableist neurotypicals, we are all bad.

you hurt the entire community by excluding your own.

you advocate for all of us, or you help none of us.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

Some people are purposely ignorant.

Sometimes I will encounter those people IRL or online.

Not everyone has to agree with me or like me.

I don’t have to ruminate about their morality and opinions or mine.

I don’t have to justify being myself.

I can scroll past and move on.

NPD culture is hating psych2go.

The npd urge to become famous and Visibly Better Than Everyone™️ vs the stpd urge to move into the woods and never speak to a human person again.

i would really love for people to learn the difference between egotistical, vain, self absorbed, self centred, selfish, arrogant, entitled, narcissistic (subclinical), and narcissistic (clinical) like really i would LOVE for people to know the meaning of fucking words.
