I feel like geriatric psychology, specifically dementia, isn't discussed as much as other areas of psychology. I work in geriatrics and see dementia every day, and it's so interesting. I never would have thought I'd love this field of psychology so much, but I truly do.

Hey, since I keep getting stuff like this on Tiktok/other social media platforms:

Friendly reminder to PLEASE. stop using "narcissist" to describe an abuser or any situation regarding that. I have seen so many genuinely validating and strong posts or discussions be ruined by ableist and inaccurate terminology. It's irritating. There are so many powerful words in the English language and yet you turn to demonizing a disorder. If you want to work on normalizing the effects of trauma then normalize defending NPD as well.

If you use the term "narc-abuse" then I hope you weep when you realize I'm in a perfectly healthy relationship with a narcissist.

Not enough people are infuriated with how narcissistic personality disorder is portrayed in media. Yes, there can absolutely be people with NPD who are controlling and abusive people, but that does not mean everyone with this disorder is inherently this way. Narcissistic personalities aren't in constant need of validation and admiration because it's a choice, but that's how their brain is built. It's a chronic disorder, you can't cure someone with NPD.

No I'm not excusing the toxic symptoms that come along with this disorder, but generalizing all people with NPD as abusers and bad people is inaccurate and unfair. It's upsetting how they're automatically labeled as such just because of the connotations behind the word "narcissist". Many of the base traits of NPD are internal, such as the need for validation or attention, feeling like they're better than others, and having the constant desire to be fed approval. Just because these are some of the symptoms, doesn't mean they'll always act on them outwardly in a negative way. Narcissistic personalities are sensitive people and shouldn't be portrayed in such a negative way in media. Yes, there will always be people with NPD that do fit these portrayals, but that won't always be the case.

Pinning this!

I should make it clear that none of my posts are with the intention of getting pity or giving me attention. I'm not trying to vaguepost that I need help. I will have posts that mention serious mental health topics, but nothing on this account is a "cry for help".

Psych, philosophy, and just people in general are so interesting to me. Nothing here will be consistent and I just intend on sharing anything about people that comes to mind, primarily focusing on the theoretical. Also expect to see spam one day and then absolutely nothing.

Religion is just a human coping mechanism to place blame elsewhere, attempt to make reason out of illogical ideas, give rules for people who need direction, and to explain inconceivable things.

Stoicism and Absurdism are so different but so similar. Both are built on not worrying about things outside of your control, just to different extents and are applied in different parts of life.

The appeal of suicide isn't just not having to deal with any problems anymore, but because that's the only time most people actually start to care about what plagues somebody else.

People always criticize others for being suicidal just for attention when in reality maybe attention is what they need. Attention sure is a motivator when you've been deprived of it for so long.

It's interesting how one's internal thoughts can be so selfish but they'll outwardly convey the opposite to try and hold relationships together.

I like how trying to make sense of the abstract is an academic discipline and it's called psychology.
