Really want to iterate and reiterate until it sticks that your problems with communication stem from your parents teaching you that showing emotions and being vulnerable will get you killed.

They told you to stop crying when you were hurt.

They told you to shut up when they hurt you.

They called you stupid when you asked for help.

They dismissed you. They threw you aside. Not just once. Over and over and over until you learned how to stay silent and give them what they wanted.

They put you in constant fight/flight/freeze/fawn because they could not provide you with a safe connection.

And now as an adult we are hard wired to not only expect that as the norm, but go out of our way to reaffirm this hurtful internalization that we are always the problem.

Whereas children with healthier parents take the time to comfort and validate their children's emotions and teach them how to express themselves in a way that makes them feel safe and trusted by the adults around them.

We did not get that.

So this is your PSA to be a little kinder to yourself because you are literally fighting against a world that wouldn't even understand half the shit you've had to go through just to stand where you are today.

This is your PSA to dig a little deeper and pull those hurtful roots of exactly how your parents hurt you as a kid, how they dismissed you, how they taught you how to treat yourself when you are hurt and in need of love and connection with those around you-- and take some of that guilt off your shoulders.

This is your PSA that healthier ways of communication absolutely do exist in this world and you are absolutely worthy and capable of learning how to address the harder topics in a way that makes you feel safe and trusted with not only others around you, but with yourself as well.

And this is your PSA that none of this bullshit is your fault and you can leave that burden behind any time you feel ready to do so.

New challenge for 2024: to stop saying "narcissist" when you mean "asshole". I call it the "Quit Being an Ableist Sack of Trash Challenge"

Alright, this needs to be discussed.

(CW: Ableism, swearing, abuse mentions)

I apologize if this is badly worded, but this needs to be said.

I have been seeing people use the word "Narcissist" to describe shitty people.

Let me tell you this: Calling someone a narcissist is ableist.

By calling someone that, you are basically saying all people with NPD are shitty people, and by doing that, you are feeding into the stigmas surrounding NPD. I have friends who have NPD and they are NOT, I repeat, are NOT abusive.

Sure, your abusers were horrible people, but they weren't narcissists.

Now let's talk about using "psychopath", "sociopath", "bipolar", and "borderline" as insults.

Guess what? That's also being ableist.

Cluster B personality disorders are some of the most misrepresented personality disorders, and this is because a) There's not enough research about them, and b) People couldn't be bothered to research those personality disorders.

Cluster B disorders, from what I can gather so far, are commonly caused by trauma and/or genetics. People in the Cluster B category don't wake up one day and decide to be the way they are, that's not how it works.

NPD? Caused by trauma from excessive judgement from parents, abuse, and possibly genetics.

ASPD? Caused by childhood trauma and possibly genetics.

Bipolar? Caused by childhood trauma.

BPD? Caused by abuse and trauma.

HPD? Caused by genetics and trauma from abuse.

So the next time you think about using 'narcissist', 'sociopath', 'borderline', 'bipolar' and/or 'psychopath' to describe or insult someone, maybe you should consider how harmful it is.

Cluster B Alignment Chart

[Image description: a three-long four-tall rectangular box that contains twelve smaller boxes. Inside each box is two words. The words in each box read, from left to right, “Lawful Antisocial, Neutral Antisocial, Evil Antisocial, Lawful Borderline, Neutral Borderline, Evil Borderline, Lawful Histrionic, Neutral Histrionic, Evil Histrionic, Lawful Narcissistic, Neutral Narcissistic, Evil Narcissistic”. End image description.]

WHY is there a white line at the bottom of that. screaming crying biting people

This was inspired by a randomly generated alignment found at this website (Seventh Sanctum’s Realistic Alignment Generator) as well as the traditional D&D alignment charts. I know it’s pretty basic but it really excited me to make!

Tagging @notabled-noodle because they wanted to see!

@ pwNPD: It’s okay to want to be loved, it’s normal to want to be valued. What has happened to you in the past doesn’t mean you’re any less deserving of being treated well.

It’s a slow process to learning what’s acceptable and what’s not in terms of what you say and your behavior, it’s something that needs to be learned like any other skill, but the good news is that it can be learned and worked on!

As a late diagnosed autist I will say one of the most damaging but transformative experiences I've ever had was being misdiagnosed with BPD.

Everyday my heart goes out to people with BPD.

The amount of stigma and silencing they face is astonishing and sickening.

I took DBT for years. Therapists use to turn me away because of my diagnosis.

I would be having full blown autistic meltdowns, crying for help literally - but because I was labeled as BPD ANY time I cried I was treated as manipulative and unstable.

As if the only reason I could be crying was if I was out to trick someone.

95% of the books out there with Borderline in the title are named shit like 'How to get away from a person with Borderline', 'How to stop walking on eggshells (with a person who has BPD)'

I was never allowed to feel true pain or panic or need.

That was 'attention seeking behavior', not me asking for help when a disability was literally inhibiting my ability to process emotions.

There were dozens of times where I had a full meltdown and was either threatened with institutionalization or told I was doing it for attention.

My failing relationships weren't due to a communication issue, or the inability to read social cues. No, because I was labeled borderline, my unstable relationships were my fault. Me beggong nuerotypicals to just be honest and blunt with what they meant was me pestering them for validation.

Borderline patients can't win.

And the funny thing is - I asked my therapist about autism. I told her I thought I was on the spectrum.

BPD is WILDLY misdiagnosed with those with autism and I had many clear signs.

Instead - she told me 'If you were autistic we wouldn't be able to have this conversation'. She made me go through a list of autistic traits made clearly for children, citing how I didn't fit each one.

And then she told me that me identifying with the autism community was the BPD making me search for identity to be accepted - and that I wasn't autistic, just desperate to fit in somewhere.

I didn't get diagnosed for another ten years. For ten years I avoided the autism community - feeling as if I were just a broken person who wanted to steal from people who 'really needed it'.

Because of my providers - I began to doubt my identity MORE, not less.

Ten years of thinking I was borderline and being emotionally neglected and demonized by a system meant to help me.

To this day, I still don't trust neurotypicals. Not fully.

I know I'm not borderline now - but my heart aches for them. Not for the usual stuff. But for the stigma. And the asshole doctors. And the dismissiveness and threatening and the idea of institutionalization hanging over their head.

I love Borderline people. I always will. I'm not Borderline but if you are I love you and I'm sorry.

You're not a bad person. You're not a therapists worst nightmare, you are a human with valid feelings and fears.

Borderline people I'm sorry.

The surreal experience of your physical therapist talking about narcissists are, to his knowledge, just attention seeking and psychopaths have no feelings or emotions. Even going as far as to say all cluster b personality disorders are like this, once again, "as far as he knows". Straight to my face.

He wasn't even saying it in any form of malice or hatred. It was just sad facts to him. This man blows my mind sometimes. I don't even know where to begin with him.

"Sir, you're so wrong that if I told you just how wrong you were, you'd likely have to throw out any and all info you think you have on this topic. Also you're currently talking to one such cluster b person, so jot that down."

... The shit he says hurts my brain sometimes.

#What keeps compelling him to repeatedly bring up this topic unprompted is beyond me #If he could just shut up and do his job for once perhaps I'd know peace #Instead of casually spouting stigmatized nonsense #I'm here for PT‚ not to give a psych lecture to an idiot #cluster b discourse #cluster b personality disorders #aspd #npd #tag tangents #my post

People with psychotic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with personality disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with substance abuse disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with tic disorders are neurodivergent too.

People with bipolar disorder are neurodivergent too.

People with dissociative disorders are neurodivergent too.

Neurodivergence isn’t just ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression. (Plus those last two also get left out sometimes!) Neurodivergence is anything that affects your brain.

“Neurodivergent people hate loud noises” is actually just as valid as a statement as “neurodivergent people have delusions,” “neurodivergent people have tics,” or even “neurodivergent people have low empathy.”
