Wheelchairs are not a good analogy for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD); but you’re basically asking the old question of “who bears the burden of disability” in general right?

I don’t have NPD disorder, and don’t know anyone diagnosed with it; so I can’t say with confidence what accommodation would look like.

You’re right that it’s not 100% the patient’s responsibilty. I should have made that more clear in my other comment. My point was that in your wheelchair metaphor, it’s the patient’s responsibilty to acquire a “wheelchair” as the first step of treatment. Otherwise they’re metaphorically expecting those around them to carry them around everywhere.

Wheelchairs are actually a great example of someone using supports to accommodate their limitations.

I meant it’s their responsibility to change; in contrast to others’ responsibility to accept their behaviours. Ideally there would be medical professionals involved, but that may not be possible in certain regions.

So we’re just ignoring everything else I wrote and fixating on the subjective personal opinion? Ok then.

The name doesn’t matter; Autism is nothing like Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The only thing I can see that overlaps at all is maybe communication difficulties; but again, the practical manifestation of these communication difficulties are extremely different.

Autism

Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a condition characterized by impairment in social communication and interaction, as well as a need or strong preference for predictability and routine, sensory processing differences, focused interests, or repetitive behaviors.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a complex and heterogeneous personality disorder characterized by patterns of grandiosity, entitlement, low empathy, and interpersonal difficulties, which can manifest as either grandiose (“thick-skinned”) or vulnerable (“thin-skinned”) forms.

Grandiose individuals display arrogance, social dominance, and exploitative behaviors, while vulnerable individuals show shame, inferiority, hypersensitivity, and extreme reactions to criticism. NPD often involves impaired emotional empathy, superficial relationships, and difficulty tolerating disagreement.

I’m not talking about diagnostic criteria here.

You can have a diagnostic criteria of “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy” (direct quote); but that doesn’t mention the manifested practical effects of those symptoms often resulting in markedly increased harm to those around them. I’d personally argue that any condition with lack of empathy has a higher chance of leading to abusive behaviours.

It doesn’t surprise me it was removed, though. Diagnosis is usually about the person themselves and how to treat them individually, rather than about anybody else; so it’s weird that it was there in the first place. Even antisocial personality disorder has a diagnostic criteria of “egocentrism; self-esteem derived from personal gain, power, or pleasure”, which again is talking about the individual across the table not their family at home.

Interpersonal stuff is more the realm of therapy. Diagnostic criteria is not the full picture of a disorder.

Regardless of the underlying reasons, narcissistic personality disorder often makes someone a harmful person to be around; the diagnosis is a reason, not an excuse. At the end of the day it’s their own responsibility to change their behaviour, and to find a lifestyle that empowers them to exist safely in society without harming others.

Maybe this doesn’t count, but I like dissolving / saturating things like sugar and coffee, and dislike oxygen to ozone ionisation.

I got to manually and individually rename 400 files using a complex series of rules the other day. It was glorious

Ok what’s “off” about me then? Tell me my mental illness.

It’s pretty fucked up and bigoted to call every religious person mentally unwell.

Can we hear about this different Jesus? It sounds interesting. Don’t meant to pry if it’s a sensitive topic, though.

Buying a yacht is seems to be one of those things only senselessly rich people buy. Like I can’t imagine any world in which I would ever want a yacht; what’s the point other than to show off?

Can’t they both be at fault?

The limit is much less for communities or subReddits as well. I would block or mute communities I didn’t want to see, until I hit a limit and it started randomly unblocking some. Not even an error, it would just unblock them on it’s own.

Extremely annoying. Especially when their algorithm is so terrible sometimes. Like I remember it kept showing me Indian Subreddits like India News, India Sports, ask an Indian, casual Indian talk, etc. I’m not even Indian, I can’t even read their languages, stop showing me that 😂

I found out on Reddit there’s a maximum amount of usernames you can block before it stops you lol

CO¹ is the real danger
