perhaps this is a hot take, but i am 100% sure that a large portion of self-identified "narcissistic abuse" survivors are also narcissists.
think about it: narcissism is most often caused by childhood trauma; having narcissistic parents makes it more likely you'll become a narcissist; there's a whole phenomenon in "narc abuse" spaces called "fleas," in which you supposedly take on narcissistic characteristics without actually "being a narcissist."
how many people with "fleas" do you think are just narcissists? they always tell themselves that "a real narcissist wouldn't care/realize that they're self-centered," which is verifiably false.
how many of these people do you think simply use internalized/lateral sanism to deny their own narcissism?
honestly, i wonder if some of these people only gravitate towards "narc abuse" because of this.
they'll talk so much about how narcissists always need to feel special, and yet act as if they're being belittled whenever someone even remotely critiques their "special" trauma that no one else can understand.
of course, i'm not saying that every "narc abuse" advocate is a narcissist, nor that the concept only exists because of narcissism, but it's just...so unlikely that there isn't at least some community of narcissists in self-denial there.

npd culture is unintentionally treating others like they also have NPD. like oh? you've earned my respect? well this is how my brain works so i will treat you how everyone should treat me
like giving non pwNPD supply n shit instead of however the fuck you're supposed to interact positively with people and offer support

Man it must be such an easy world to live in where every abuser you meet is an "evil narc". You don't even need to fucking think about how to actually protect yourself. Just read a couple of pseudoscientific papers on how to "get the narc!!" half of which is just lies that will not work and half of which is advice on how to cause genuine psychological distress in anyone, not just pwNPD.
It must be so easy to live in the world where abuse comes from narcs alone or majorly narcs, even though the disorder is extremely rare. You can even lull yourself into thinking that “how to catch a narcissist” will secure you, which it won’t.

[id: a tumblr post. most of the text has been blacked out to say "narcissist abuse isn't real BPD abuse isn't real you should treat those people like humans, Anyone can abuse! It doesn't matter if you're on the spectrum or not! It doesn't matter if they're autistic, have BPD, have narcissist tendencies, schizophrenic or not on the spectrum at all! Should we treat everyone on the spectrum as abusers? No! Treat people like humans and give them respect!" /end id]
this post is made by a transgender person with npd. terfs and narc abuse believers fuck off

I need to know if there are other narcissists who DESPISE discord servers. Everything about them. Yes, sometimes they give you attention supply, but everyone else seems to get more attention than me! And everyone is so fucking annoying about the rules on there, like why does it even matter if I broke some stupid social rule?

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.
Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.
What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.
Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.
What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.
Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.
What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.
Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.
It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

NPD culture is "Yes. Rely on me. I'm everything to you." And "God leave me ALONE you co-dependant LOSER." At the same time.
