when i was 10-12 years old, i based my whole identity around being really good at drawing. i was the best artist i knew, no one could be better than me. i mean when everyone you know, kid or adult, was telling you how good you are, i was bound to believe it.
but then one day i saw someone who was better than me.
it was like my whole world got destroyed, my heart hurt. i felt because i wasn't the best at drawing, i was now the worst and my art was all ugly.
i hated the person who was better than me at art, the rest of my week was ruined, and i actually contemplated quitting art forever.
pretty sure that was my first narc crash tbh

Since accepting I'm a narcissist, I've had much better communication. When I get needy, I can go "I need this cause I'm a narcissist" and it's so much easier than getting overwhelmed trying to find the right words and then gaslighting myself and ignoring my own feelings because I've been taught that my narcissistic traits are so bad and wrong and all that stigma that I've internalized.
Like I roleplay with MA and when I get all sad, I get a bit pouty so they ask what's wrong and they can easily pick up on or I can just say "I'm feeling narcissistic and neglected" and then we can work from there to make it better. Being able to use the term narcissist as just a neutral or positive term has helped me so much. And learning to not shame myself for needing attention, praise, and admiration has helped so much. Cause even if I'm disordered, I can communicate far better and be understood instead of me trying to repress my narcissism which leads to explosive fights.
It's almost like...now hear me out people that don't understand, destigmatizing a disorder and not demonizing it is a GOOD THING! OoO Woah!
That was sarcastic, but for real. Since accepting my narcissism and learning more about it, I've discovered a lot about myself and how I cope. When I'm not getting enough praise or attention, I can ask for it so much easier than getting overwhelmed by trying to communicate, going nonverbal, then having a meltdown cause my personality disorders and autism are linked together so tightly.

Do you have any advice on how an egotypical person could help a friend or partner with NPD who is going through a narc crash?
This is the type of comfort I'd like to receive during a narc crash, but everyone might be a little different. If other pwNPD want to add on that's welcomed!
Remind them how much you value them. During narc crashes we can't see the value in ourselves, so it might help to hear it coming from someone else.
Express your appreciation of them. This can be through compliments, gifts, or whatever else you prefer. This helps further remind them that they have value and that they are cared about.
Be open to talk or vent to. This one depends on your own mental state because not everyone can handle being vented at, but if you're in a good place mentally let them know that they can talk to you.

How I stare at ppl when I'm upset.
(I desperately want the attention, but I don't want the damn pity and "comforting" that comes with it.)
(They try to comfort and then proceed to aggressively say sorry like please now I feel like I did smth wrong omg??)

Hello handsome~ I think I might have NPD, as I can relate to most of the diagnostic criteria, but I've never had a narc crash; at least, I don't think so. Do all PwNPD have crashes? And, also, how would you define a crash?
Thanks in advance<3
Hi! I'm so sorry for the late response, I have no idea how this ended up getting so buried.
Not all pwNPD have crashes, and to my knowledge they're not even officially a part of the diagnostic criteria. I don't speak for everyone, but for me personally, it's when my false self-confident self, well, crashes and collapses, when I realize it's all fake. This typically comes from being ignored (whether it be me being ACTUALLY ignored or just be perceiving something that way), though it also can come from being insulted or devalued.
I typically experience something comparable to "splitting", going from being generally pretty happy with myself to hating myself. Typically other people cause my crashes (though not intentionally) and I end up "splitting" on them as well...like if someone ignores me or insults me or I think they are, I typically get really angry and isolate myself from them. Sometimes it's just an individual who I feel that way towards, sometimes it's a collective, like a group chat or my co workers as a whole, for instance.
I also experience "crashes" as a result of someone doing better than me and getting positive attention for it.

Can we get a "narc crash" emoji?/nf. You can stylise it as much as you want btw
Sure, I just did this in the default style so it’ll be easy to read, but I included a dark mode friendly version as well :) hopefully I’ll be doing that with all emoji posts in the future

has anyone else gone into a rage or crash because you finally get the courage to ask someone for attention and theyre like "yeah sure" but then they give you the wrong type of attention

fellow narcs i have a question
what is your narc supply? what things give you a narc high?
it would be great if i could compile a list to better help people understand what a narc supply is and what a narc high is like.
i know people tend to misinterpret it as an emotional high, sometimes i myself even tend to misread my emotional highs as narc highs sometimes because of overlapping factors.
i mostly see compliments given as a narc supply, but generic compliments like "youre so cool", "i like your hair", "you did a good job" and so on dont exactly do it for me because my bpd automatically reads them as disingenuous at times. instead things like "youre so good at x i need advice from you", "i know you like x so i wanted to ask you", "you know/did xyz and thats so cool of you!" and so on seem to be more of a "narc supply" for me.
i'd love to hear from others what its like from them so i could make a list/post to help people supporting narcs understand what we need. /np /g

Hello! While looking at your guide to NPD, the symptoms really felt like things I struggle with a lot, but when I searched around online for more info elsewhere, everything focuses heavily on symptoms of “believes theyre better than everybody else” and “inflated sense of self-importance”, instead of what you listed in that post. Is that what you meant by “prioritizing self”? /gen
Kind of! With NPD, how you view yourself is quite complicated.
We may believe we're better than others or hold ourselves to higher standards, but since that isn't based on anything substantial we also often struggle with depression and narc crashes
(if you don't know what a narc crash is, there's some informational posts you can find in the narc crash tag about them)
The reason why I said "prioritizing self" is because of the way NPD in developed, it's often a coping mechanism for abusive/neglectful parents.
Because we never got support and love from others, we build ourselves up and seek compliments and affection.
Of course, that isn't the only way NPD is developed, but it's the most common one I've seen in NPD communities.
Another reason why I didn't focus on those symptoms is most people already know about them and I wanted to highlight the other things NPD can cause, show how it isn't just Egotistical Disorder ya know?
If you relate to a lot of those symptoms, but not the inflated sense of self importance, you may have a different Cluster B PD or another trauma disorder.
