When I was 20 I was diagnosed by a psychologist with having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. At first I was in denial about but over time I come to terms with my narcissism and the diagnosis started to make sense to me. A lot of my problems can be traced back to my unrealistic self image and lack of ability to relate with others.
There’s a lot of stigma towards NPD. I hope by making this thread I can help others understand that having NPD doesn’t inherently make you a bad person and NPD hurts the person with it as well.
I suppose it’s not just letting others have attention but it’s not competing with others for attention. @Misspelledusernme@lemmy.world said something about people with NPD being attracted to the entertainment industry and I can see why. You get the attention you want and your already used to constantly competing for it.
