An English word that existed long before anyone was ever diagnosed with NPD. I'm very sorry for your diagnosis but trying to make an entire existing word unusable for everyone else is kinda the definition of narcissistic also.

[–] DroneRights@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

X to doubt on your claim there, but why does that matter? The N word and the R word existed before they were slurs too. Are you going to apply the same logic there or do you have a unique hatred for pwNPD?

[–] Harrison@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You doubt that a word meaning "like Narcissus" was used to describe behaviour similar to the popular thousands of years old mythological figure, before modern psychological science used it to describe a personality disorder?

[–] DroneRights@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I'm also going to doubt that anybody in this thread was speaking Greek when they used the word narcissist, given that all these comments are in english.

[–] Harrison@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

English mugs other languages and their associated grammatical rules all the time, especially Greek and Latin, and especially especially words related to mythological figures, like Herculean, Titanic or indeed, Narcissistic.

[–] DroneRights@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

English isn't a person, it's a language. The root word narcissism was pulled into english by people. Those people were late 19th century psychologists.

[–] Harrison@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And since it has become a part of general usage English

[–] DroneRights@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was put into general use by a book which claimed comtemporary america was normalising NPD, and later by self help books selling the old Hitler special - all your problems are caused by a vulnerable minority and please give me money

Just fyi, your posts in this thread are getting passed around on chan sites and are getting dozens of (You)s, I didn't start it. Don't try to delete they were using archive links and screenshots.

It's absolutely deserved. You're talking about a term for an aggressive personality that is sometimes related to a DSM classification that's a lot closer to psychopathy than, say, autism or schizophrenia when it comes to carrying a stigma, having symptoms which interfere with life & socializing.

really showing self-awareness when you say

when it comes to carrying a stigma, having symptoms which interfere with life & socializing

while gloating about the harassment this user is going to receive from 4chan. classy.

Eh, I don't mind being 4chan's "lolcow" or whatever other ableist bullshit they've invented this week if it means I'm making radical queer identities more visible and making more common queer identities seem more normal. I mean, Trump singlehandedly normalised fascism in the US by being such a fascist clown. Maybe I could go a little way to being the opposite of that. Let them parade my identity around in front of everyone, that's what we did ourselves at Stonewall and we ought to be doing it more often.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah fuck that. I'm bullying 4chan weirdos any day of the week and once I've got some good material this is going in the dunk tank for the rest of hexbear to dogpile. fascists can get fucked.

[–] glasschewer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're not getting any good material. This is like saying you should ban the phrase "stay mad" over the existence of people with diagnosed anger management problems. Hexbear already dunked on the person you're replying to for this. This is just round 2 on a bunch of obscure chans, none of which are your beloved Trumpists.

By all means, cry about this in public. Demand recompense for the narcissistic injury

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

lmao whatever you say cracker

[–] glasschewer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They're making fun of you for being an obvious wrecker with zero self awareness and trying to get people to stop using a word - (this is my addition) when it would be better to redefine narcissistic personality disorder. Just like histrionic is deprecated

[–] glasschewer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
[–] glasschewer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not 4chan lol

I like how you think people being made fun of online for bad takes now constitutes the same kind of difficult experience autistic and schizophrenic people have with socializing lmao. The new Chapo crowd isn't worth a damn.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

ahh yes 4chan, famous for it's restraint. lol it's just some light ribbing. haha no one gets hurt.

also dodging responsibility is pathetic

[–] glasschewer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's not on 4chan though

[–] glasschewer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They're absolutely correct that hexbear is taken over by narcissistic wrecker radlibs and seeing the site almost move into banning "the n-word" (funny because it would be exactly like banning "cracker" like it's the real n word) is just the cherry on top for them
