i thanked you for the tangible diagnosis because it was the first real thing i could research and compare
it seems quite insightful actually.....
i wonder if you actually do have a background of psychology.....
your open ended, "free will" comment has impressed me very much :)
how bout you give me some points to how you came up with this, Please.
Totally wrong.
Also DSM will be bringing in malignant narcissism under the umbrella of psychopathy. Those of us that understand the disorder already realize that MN is another facet so it's not a sparkly new diagnosis you can fancy yourself under. While you're musing at either, that already qualifies you as neither. A cardinal symptom of MN or P is a disinterest entirely in being diagnosed. Most people here are posing or 'pretending'. It's psuedo-sociopathy, like it's some kind of game and P's have the upper hand, a game of wit. Lulz.
PD's develop as a defense. The lowest defense before insanity is psychopathy, which severs the damaged limbic system as it has been damaged irreparably. That is a very severe consequence to neglect or malicious nurturing. This leaves the person devoid of necessary framework to be a part of society. Essentially the guesswork is in the beginning trying to understand these things that don't happen inside of them, and more so an inherent understanding of how cruelty works and that being unlike social norms will make them outcasts. The anger and resentment come later at this toiling to try and fit in. In some societies (underdeveloped countries) this is a death sentence.
My guess is that bored emo types have picked up this role playing to augment their spoiled dispositions. They aren't fighting for their lives and neither are you.
People who have this really, really, feel like they are floating in outer space - they have no boundary of self. Numbness - like having your whole body doused with a dental numbing agent. These are physical affects and a kind of retardation emotionally.
Actual emotional, thinking people are more dangerous. They don't have the burden of making up ground for not understanding others or themselves. They do it effortlessly. They actually feel the emotions that help them manipulate their environments, so they feel justified in them. Impaired people have swells of rage from the ineptness inside them. And again, the game is all they can think about - looking for a diagnosis or even thinking about it cancels any notion of you having it. These people do not have the energy. They need someone to process valuable information as their egos have been submerged into the subconscious so they have no thinking voice of their own. The voices they have are usually harsh echoing of the world around them. They have no identity with them or any connection to how they came to be.
A P or MN may muse momentarily if someone pointed out they were one. But that would be fleeting, as this pleases the person telling them and that would be a dangerous 'voice' to entertain (try to figure out what that means). P's only pick up on weaknesses because that is a projection of how they view themselves. Alone. Ready to be consumed. Vulnerable.
So the above posters diagnosed themselves when they diagnosed you.
Why not diagnose me and then I'll diagnose you. (simple enough)
