Narc Abuse - Blog Posts
ok congress let’s get this discussion started
i think i explained my point best here
a lot of narc abuse truthers use the argument that narcissism ≠ npd which
a) they don’t actually mean and that’s clear in the way that they actively attempt to tear down npd communities online and demonise npd symptoms
b) isn’t a fair justification for mislabeling abuse
nobody in the history of the universe (EVER) has tried to deny that people with npd are capable of abuse. the entire point is that people with npd are not MORE likely to be abusive than anybody else and that there is no pattern of behaviour exclusive to narcissists. every behaviour associated with narc abuse can be, and is, performed by egotypicals and otherwise mentally stable people.
it’s an inaccurate descriptor for a pattern of behaviour because it also assumes that pwnpd are a hivemind. in reality, there are hundreds of ways people could present with npd. the dsm5 criteria is far too broad to make sweeping generalisations about anybody with a diagnosis.
the word narcissist implies npd (and vice versa). that’s not going to change. the only way either party is benefited by the use of the label is that egotypicals get an entire group to hate instead of just their abuser. even if we adopt their mindset and argue that narcissists are inherently abusive (again, categorically false), the demonisation of the disorder has a massive impact on the accessibility of treatment and would, in turn, increase rates of “narcissistic abuse”.
i have a lot to say about how a lot of narc abuse truthers on this hellsite actually have a sufficient amount of npd symptoms to be diagnosed but i’m sure they’ll come at me with some shit about “reactive narcissism” and how their treatment of us is justifiable because they’re better (look in the mirror.)
I love it when narc abuse truthers start traumadumping about their experiences with narcs in their "all narcs are bad" posts. whatever, power to you talking abt your trauma, but how the fuck is that backing up your point on how every single narcissist is an abuser?
Riddle me this narc abuse believers, if narcissistic abuse is real, then how come I'm God's perfect little angel?
