NPD with ASPD and SzPD traits culture is needing admiration and attention but being unable to stand being around anyone who could give it because they're so unfathomably annoying.

schizoid culture is wondering how to explain to people that you don't care about being "successful" by any normal standard because the inside of your own head is far more interesting and makes you much happier than anything the outside world has to offer

hey fun fact did you know that if you're on the schizophrenia spectrum, have psychosis, have psychotic symptoms or traits, etc, that you're loved and your symptoms and traits should not be vilainized or seen as evil or ugly?

I think I've seen maybe one post on this in the three years I've been on tumblr, so here's a shoutout to all the people with personality disorders - yes, including npd, aspd and szpd - who have been abusive or hurt others in the past but are trying to do better. I've been there and I see you. You're doing the best you can and I'm so proud of you for working to change that behaviour.

No one:
Me, trying to fall asleep yesterday: "Yeah, so, if 'actually autistic' and 'honestly histrionic' exist, then other tags with alliterations for other conditions/disorders should exist, too!"
So now I present to you, the alliteration PD buddies™:
apparently anti-social
(The 'apparently' is like the sarcastic response to 'so, you are anti-social?')
palpably paranoid
('palpably' means 'obviously', so it's like, duh)
obviously obsessive-compulsive
(Like, duh)
decidedly dependant
('decidedly' shares a root with 'decision', but a DPD criterion is difficulty with decision-making, and it also seems like 'yep, I am')
basically borderline
(The 'basically' is the flat response to 'so you are borderline?')
naturally narcissistic
(Like, of course I am amazing and perfect)
seriously schizoid
(Like, I am schizoid, I am being serious.)
seemingly schizotypal
('seemingly' means 'obviously', so it's like yeah, of course)
absolutely avoidant
(Like a response to "so, are you avoidant?")
honestly histrionic
(You guys came up with that, and I love it)
If there are any issues (if I have triggered someone, if I was offensive, or if there already existed alliterative forms of 'actually []') or someone has a better idea for the alliteration PD buddies™, please let me know.

One thing (among many) that people need to keep in mind when they say things like "oh if you think you have a mental disorder, consult a professional" is that a lot of professionals will not consider evaluating and/or diagnosing you with something you bring up yourself. Especially the more uncommon/complex the disorder is. For things like MDD or GAD you likely won't have that problem, for things like OCD or ADHD they'll likely be suspicious but still comply somewhat, but for things like personality disorders or DID most professionals will completely brush you off and refuse to evaluate you. Because they think you're attention seeking and diagnosis shopping, and that you couldn't possibly have it, even if you haven't done anything to earn that suspicion.
For disorders like that, unless the professional themselves suspects you have it and comes up with that idea themselves, good luck getting evaluated at all. Especially when it comes to disorders most professionals don't even think they'll encounter, like SzPD or DID.
It'd be nice if we lived in a world where you could go see a psych, say "hey I think I have this", and they'd do a proper and fair evaluation for you the way a physical doctor would (moreso should but that's another can of worms).
It just isn't as simple as "ask a professional".

Non-cluster A people, y’all need to start recognizing that our PDs don’t make us “crazy”.
Schizoids? Their indifference and disinterest doesn’t make them crazy, nor does their flattened affect or lack of pleasure. Just because them not wanting to do something that doesn’t bring them joy for you doesn’t make them bad people or “weirdos”.
Schizotypals? Their unusual thoughts and mannerisms doesn’t make them crazy, nor does their lack of close confidants or general fear. Them doing what they feel is right is normal. Your beliefs are your realities, so don’t try and make schizotypals out to be the bad guys because theirs are odd compared to others.
Paranoids? Our mistrust doesn’t mean we’re crazy, nor does our self-preservation or self-defense. If the world was out to get you, you would be on edge too. Stop calling us burdensome because we have a normal human response to something thats abnormal to the average person.
Being schizoid doesn’t make you crazy. Being schizotypal doesn’t make you crazy. Being paranoid doesn’t make you crazy. Being cluster a doesn’t make you crazy. Being schizospec doesn’t make you crazy. We are not crazy.

I feel like a lot of the personality disorder criteria in the DSM-5 focuses on the outward appearance of the disorder rather than what the person with the disorder is actually feeling. Npd and aspd are what I’m thinking of as examples right now, so let’s go over those first. People with any sort of personality disorder, feel free to chime in and add any thoughts you may have on how the DSM-5 represents your disorder.
Npd’s symptoms in the DSM-5 are listed as:
A persistent pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy
An exaggerated, unfounded sense of their own importance and talents (grandiosity)
Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited achievements, influence, power, intelligence, beauty, or perfect love
Belief that they are special and unique and should associate only with people of the highest caliber
A need to be unconditionally admired
A sense of entitlement
Exploitation of others to achieve their own goals
A lack of empathy
Envy of others and a belief that others envy them
Arrogance and haughtiness
The focus is on how other people might see someone with the disorder rather than what someone with the disorder might feel. As someone with npd, the main symptom of the disorder is lack of self-esteem. Someone with npd very well might experience or do these things BECAUSE of a lack of self-esteem, but I feel like the lack of self-esteem isn’t focused on enough for how much it impacts everything else. Honestly I’d go as far as to say it’s the very root of the disorder (y’know, besides trauma. But the low self-esteem is caused by trauma so, you get what I mean).
Now, I don’t personally have aspd myself, but from what I’ve heard from people with the disorder (people with aspd feel free to chime in), anhedonia is pretty much the biggest symptom? But if you look at the criteria it’s…
A persistent disregard for the rights of others
Disregarding the law, indicated by repeatedly committing acts that are grounds for arrest
Being deceitful, indicated by lying repeatedly, using aliases, or conning others for personal gain or pleasure
Acting impulsively or not planning ahead
Being easily provoked or aggressive, indicated by constantly getting into physical fights or assaulting others
Recklessly disregarding their safety or the safety of others
Consistently acting irresponsibly, indicated by quitting a job with no plans for another one or not paying bills
Not feeling remorse, indicated by indifference to or rationalization of hurting or mistreating others
And again, it’s not like people with aspd CAN’T experience or do these things BECAUSE of their anhedonia, but I really feel like that should be emphasized. Anhedonia isn’t even LISTED as a symptom. But when I listen to people with aspd talk about their experiences, the most commonly talked about symptom is generally feeling extreme boredom constantly, aka anhedonia. Again, people with aspd feel free to correct me and or add any thoughts you may have.
Looking at the criteria now, I see the same sort of issue with stpd (though I see this issue to an extent in the criteria for every personality disorder). I don’t have stpd myself so if you do, feel free to correct me or add anything, but I swear to god if I have to see the word “odd” or “eccentric” or “peculiar” one more fucking time. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!!! The definition of those words is going to be different from person to person. It literally feels like they’re saying “I have diagnosed you with ABNORMAL disorder.” Like…please be more specific, I’m begging. What do you mean by ODD? What classifies “odd” behavior?
Anyways, that’s my little rant. I just wanted to see what other pd havers thought about it???

Questioning SZPD culture is, being convert is weird. I genuily try to socialize around and be friends with people, maybe I even enjoy it, but the emotional connection isn't there?? Everytime i notice i need to actually invest on friendships to mantain them it just feel so overwhelming, especially because it's so easy to someone slightly upset me and I'll never be able to trust them again. The amount of times I need isolation to keep my brain working are countless.

can our next mental illness symptom advocacy be for people whose symptoms make them aloof and detached and not emotionally expressive or scared of intimacy and vulnerability cause some of y’all really like to make fun of that shit and as an autistic schizoid I’m fucking tired of it. not being able to feel and express emotions genuinely or be vulnerable with others is exhausting and difficult and is way more complex than like toxic repressed “too cool for everyone” male bullshit you treat it as in your jokes.
