I was just thinking about how I never miss anyone, and I was wondering if I could reasonably expect that to extend to the deceased. I only know a few people who have died, but I wasn't close to any of them. Then again, I can't name anyone I do consider myself close to... Still, I always expected to miss people when they died. Anyone have an experience?

Hello, I’m a 27 yr old female. I have a roommate who goes through hell every day because of my issues and is now at their wits end. I may possibly also be a psychopath, I’m not sure. I have been so for such a long time that a lot of the behaviors I can identify are so ingrained into my everyday behavior that I do them without entirely thinking about it. I assume things ...

I've just come across two words, or phrases, that pretty much sum me up: Maladaptive Daydreaming and Hikikomori. I don't know if there's any kind of link between these two things or if it's just me.

I do know that I've spent most of my life daydreaming. When reality bothers me, I tune it out and go to my room and just immerse myself in fantasy. When I don't want to be me, I just ...

I apologize in advance for possible grammar mistakes. Today one of my therapists (a psychologist) suggested that I could be a "covert" narcissist, or at least that I could have some traits of that disorder. Honestly it was the first time I heard of this word, "covert", although I knew the word "narcissist", so I was a bit confused and after the meeting I started searching online for clarification. Long story short, the two important ...

Everything in my life can be going well. I feel like my BPD is under control, I am making positive steps towards healing, I am taking care of myself; then boom. I meet a guy and everything starts spiraling.

The negative thoughts begin, I start obsessively comparing myself, slip back into my negative coping mechanisms, feel a frantic urge to either run or push him away…

It starts to become hard to tolerate myself. So ...

I'm sure most of you will be aware that when you search for information on NPD you'll be met with a ton of results that are often very hostile towards people with NPD. This is very true on YouTube, where a bunch of grifter 'therapists' make videos like "Unmasking a Covert Narcissist Is Absolutely Dangerous. Just Run!" or "Narcissists: Wolves in Sheep's Clothing", and so on.

How does it make you feel to see that? ...

Recently I’ve seen a few photographs of myself that totally devastated me. One was a driver’s license photo and the other a candid photo of me crossing a finishing line at a local race. Both were absolutely awful. It seemed I was in the full throws of geezerhood.

Since then I’ve been able to convince myself, as usual, that it was the lighting, the angle, and the general circumstances in which these were taken, and ...

Well it is 2am here qld Australia time. I have just spent 15 minutes on Lifeline chatline to get some help. No one available, not there fault, understaffed. Here goes another BPD low. I should be used to them by now. Self awareness has sharpened that fact but the lows just seem to push through it all. Just had to quit my vet nursing study due to anxiety that took over my brain and sent ...

Hi all, I'm very new here, and I hope this is okay to post, and it's okay to post here as apposed to somewhere else.

I feel like most things I do are weirdly calculated. My facial expressions, my body language, the things i say, my actions. It really all relates to other people and making sure they perceive me the way I want them to. When I talk to someone, I'm thinking of everything, ...
