Sooooo many people are going to go undiagnosed with NPD because they don’t care enough to get diagnosed. Yes there are people with good hearts and NPD, I do not blame the disorder I blame the person. But that shouldn’t mean I get no voice just because the person I experienced would never get diagnosed.
Labeling disorders
I was creating a group lately for survivors of NPD
. I was wondering people’s thoughts on how it should be addressed . I got off quora cause almost everyone said only certified people and specialists should be able to talk about NPD . I then had it dawn on me … does that mean survivors can never share their experiences then? Cause how are you supposed to address it without at some point labeling it ??? Also, how will we prevent it from happening if “labeling” is so against the rules. Personally I don’t believe “narcissist” should be thrown around so loosely . I also don’t think good people and survivors should have to suffer because of those people who don’t fully understand it’s a disorder and are directly causing harm to the survivors of Narcissistic abuse in the process. when it comes to preventing something to happen to you, speaking about it basically makes label in necessary cause it attaches logic to it. Not as a means to demonize but simply , calling out the behaviors and understanding what’s happening.

I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with narcissism to be honest. Most of these "survivors" are self- diagnosing which is not okay. If people want to call themselves survivors of emotional abuse or toxic relationships, fine. But a survivor of narcissism can't be determined until the supposed "narcissist" has been formally diagnosed by a professional. I can't stand this. Everyone thinks that just because their ex was selfish and mean that they're narcissistic. It's so dumb. People need to stop thinking that they know what they're talking about just because they read some quora or psychology today.

It doesn't matter what the relationship is. The point is that people like to pretend that they know what narcissism is but they actually have no idea and so they throw the word around. I am telling you as a mental health professional that you are wrong. There aren't millions of narcissists running around undiagnosed. What we do have is an abundance of is people thinking that they can diagnose narcissism based off some Google searches. Narcissism is very rare. I've seen it a handful of times in my career and personal life. Not everyone who is selfish and abusive is a narcissist. People need to stop thinking they can diagnose this with no education in the field.

It wasn’t my ex in my case it was from both my parents and that would be great if narcissistic people ran to get diagnosed but the problem is …… they are not the type to think anything is wrong with them. So . Yea
