i mean, having a regular life and living like regular people... what about any of that guarantees that you're happy?

Apart from the broad stigmatization and hostility toward people w NPD, can I voice something that really bothers me about r/raisedbynarcissists and other "narc abuse" spaces? The way that if someone brings up concerns about symptoms of NPD in themselves, everyone goes "nooo you're not a narc, you're a GOOD person who picked up some of their evil behavior because of your trauma you have fleas" and it's like I hate to break it to you, but cluster b disorders run in families for a reason. Also where do you think the disprder comes from...? Trauma.
So many people who hate people w NPD have NPD.
Also this isn't unique to NPD. It's not even unique to cluster b disorders or any/all personality disorders. Get traumatized by abuse and I promise you have adopted some toxic and dysfunctional behaviors, whether or not it meets the criteria of a disorder. If you brush it off as "fleas," you're not really being honest with yourself or other trauma victims.
To me it's an obvious continuation of the same lack of self-awareness and accountability that they say they hate people w NPD for displaying. And I'm gonna be blunt here but the need to feel like YOUR trauma was unique, special, different from the abuse other people have suffered is like. In fact. Narcissism (not necessarily as a disorder but as a trait at least).
Ask me how I know (I used to be Like That before realizing it was a garbage way to talk about / treat other mentally ill folks and I have ASPD lol).
Anyway antisocial 🤝 narcissist solidarity forever, I care about you and recognize the effort you put into breaking the cycle. A disorder doesn't negate that.
Imagine having been born in 1905... And all your life it doesn't fucking stop. The Great War, the Spanish Flu, and then you go out of your mind for 7 years. Everyone is traumatised and nothing matters. Then another crash. And then the rise of fascism, and the War to end all Wars didn't and it's 1945 and you're just about still there. You may have fought or ferried the boys from Dunkirk or sabotaged the Nazi occupiers or worked in the factories and put out fires during the Blitz and you're lucky to be alive, because not all your friends made it. But you are and finally, fucking finally, it stops. It stops. You are tough as nails and you can put that strength to work into building something and you do, and people have cars and can buy icecream and you have a pension fund and the kids have money of their own and no nightmares.
I want that for us. I so want that for us. I want to be the generation that has seen fucking everything and is like a MRSA bug and unfazed and when that Cheeto finally dies, I want us to. Plant the gardens and clean the seas because we can and we want to and we remember some joy, some time of trust even when it got broken and we can say to the 20 somethings "let us show you what we can build, how it can feel."
And maybe Gen beta will take it all for granted like the boomers did, but we can give Gen Z and Alpha some peace because we, and Gen Z and Alpha have seen the Dark Times and fuck that noise.
At the start of the Pandemic, my spouse’s grandmother was in an assisted-living home, and of course they were severely locked down, because with no vaccination available and we don’t really know how it spreads and no tests and anyone over 80 is deffo gonna die…. They couldn’t take the risks. So they weren’t even allowed to leave their rooms. Staff brought meals and left them outside the door, and they left dishes outside, and that was just their life for the foreseeable future.
So we tried to make sure someone called her every day, so she would have some kind of interaction, and one time my spouse asked how she was doing, and her attitude was basically, “Yeah, this happens sometimes.”
Because that was her life. She did live through the depression, she did lose three siblings to the last pandemic. She did live through WWII, and sent a son off to Vietnam, and made a family and a household and a career while knowing one slip of a button might wipe out all life on earth. And she lived through it; she survived.
And so 2020 wasn’t the end of the world, for her. It was just another thing. Because life is made up of sunshine and rainbows and puppy dogs, AND ALSO fascists and violence and rancid millionaires living high while people starve. And when you are in the middle of the shit times, you acknowledge that they’re shit, and also that they are not exclusively shit, because they still include spring days and new flowers and people taking care of each other.
And it was just… a really helpful perspective to get. You can survive it, you can become strong enough to live to 103 despite everything, you can become a source of strength and joy for everyone around you.
