Just wondering. If someone says "I'm Paranoid", chances are high that he's actually not suffering from PPD. No Paranoid admits to being one. A paranoid believes that his fears are real and he's never going to accept that his Paranoid because the basic meaning of paranoia is having fears that are unfounded and delusional.

This is a question for narcs of course. I would like to know what it is, that it makes for a narc almost impossible to admit he is wrong when he is wrong.

How/when does one know how they feel about something and when to speak up about it? I mean if I have a general idea but am not sure should I just wait awhile to make sure? Trying to sort out my feelings/emotions without being manipulative or without trying to overly please someone else is extremely difficult. I just am not sure where I stand. Is this something others do naturally or do we all battle ...

I live in a constant state of heightened anxiety bordering on panic. A few days ago I realized that the root cause of all of the symptoms that I have and the myriad diagnoses that I have been labelled with all stem from the fundamental belief that I am a horrible person and as a result, I am in a constant state of awaiting my punishment. For years I have had a terrible fear of ...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself and seek help.

I am pretty sure that I have very strong compensatory narcissistic traits.

As a child my sister was very abusive and it was like walking on eggshells when she was around. I would get anxious whenever she was around. I don't think she was ever physically abusive but definitely psychologically and emotionally. This, along with a submissive father and a mother who didn't discipline me ...

Hi,

I'm still struggling. The memories just won't come. I want to scream, shout, and I really want to slit my arm from wrist to elbow, to sleep and never wake up. But I can't. Too many people I care about worry about me, so I fight it and fight it and bury it and bury it.

I'm plagued by dreams. Some are day-to-day working dreams. Sometimes I'm lost in a town I know so ...

I'm really relating to this song at the moment...

I think one of the major differences between how others perceive me and how I perceive myself is that they see me as something to have feelings about. Do any of you think this applies to you too?

I've heard a lot about people hating themselves and loving themselves. This doesn't make any sense to me because I'm not used to the idea that I can be loved or hated, by myself or by anyone ...

I'm sorry this is long, I feel that I have to start this from the beginning to get it off my chest.

I want to preface, with saying that I have not told anyone in my proximity about this experience, and i'm really not sure what want on with this online "relationship". I am left with mixed feelings at the end of the day, and most of the confusion I seem to have gotten through, ...

In movies, like Snowcake, My Name is Khan, aspergers look like autists, whereas on youtube video for example they don't. Is it because of the inaccuracy of movies, or the fact that people are alone when they do youtube videos and would look like in movies with people?

Do you find the movies accurate? Thanks.
