"-given that generally encompasses someone who has ASPD + NPD and a generally negative traits. There is people with ASPD who are pretty much not harming anyone and are in a lot pain because even though they might not feel the guilt and remorse of their actions they’re still capable of feeling lonely and hurt due to the fact they can’t sustain relationships."] z/2

"Sociapath is just such a shitty term
Most of the time people are referring to people who likely have anti social personality disorder (or at least the behaviours they’re referring to, you still can’t diagnose someone)
+ psychopath is DEFINITELY a outdated term but if you’re gonna use an outdated term that is much closer to what they’re trying to describe,-"] z/1
the myth of the diabolical neighbor with no conscience, living in plain sight while he concocts his evil plans, is just an incredibly harmful myth.
lot of folks who live without a well-developed moral sense have shit lives forever plagued by broken relationships and legal/workplace trouble. it's not a liberating thing. these are not terms to just throw around.
info on why sociopath is an outdated as fuck term:
a sensationalist hack psychologist in the 80s used the term sociopath to justify the death penalty in cases where insanity would provide a stay of execution
the term is much older than the 80s, and has been used in more legitimate contexts. but robert hare is the guy who invented the "sociopath checklist," which was a huge hit in a courtroom setting, and subsequently in a lot of yellow journalism and IDTV "documentaries."

The reason I say that is because the term narcissist is really only ever used to explain toxic actions or traits. It’s not a diagnosis, so to me it doesn’t seem right to label people with personality disorders with what is essentially a slur in the psychiatric community. Rather, I would say that they have whatever diagnosis they have."] s/2

"I tend to use terms like narcissist not just if they’re diagnosed, but if they’re diagnosed AND offenders or some kind of abuse and manipulate the situation in a way that they refuse to get help. Cluster B personality disorders are REALLY hard and there shouldn’t be any stigma in getting help."] s/1

"In my experience it can be crippling and insidious. But I can also see how personally it’s crippling for sufferers similar to social issues in ADHD."] n/2
[text description. comment friend Ana María Pino said on facebook
"All for awareness of NPD. Having NPD in the family is painful and difficult at least for myself, and my therapist with same background reported the same. I’m all for awareness. I believe people can change. But as someone who’s been gaslit and all the other mind games, I just want more awareness. It’s like being a prisoner and finally someone pulls down these walls keeping you prisoner ...and its dizzying." n/1

"i've been around abusive people my entire life. i've been hurt emotionally and physically multiple times. but i still don't have the right to call my abusers sociopaths or narcissists because a) i could be fucking wrong and b) it's not fair to those with antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder who are trying to not be abusive, to lump actual abusive people with them"]
like, sociopath is also an outdated as fuck term and it's literally like why the fuck are yall armchair diagnosing folks over the internet lol
just call abuse fucking abuse and FUCKING STOP dragging atypical people under the bus for self righteous bullshit i get that people have been abused by actual narcissists but abuse is NOT inherent w cluster b folks. people really need to fucking stop this fucking bullshit
mild body horror??
where do we go to get like,
"A shifting black pillar dominates the room, writhing and contorting as though in agony. As you approach, you see glinting beaks and mad eyes and, here or there, the shape of a wing.
It's a ten-mile-high tower of conjoined crows, fused together at some skeletal level and draped over a vast beaked totem. There must be millions of birds here, tormented by their unity."
