When it comes to PD’s there’s an awful lot of “bad press” out there.

Since I have not been diagnosed with NPD I am not going to post in the NPD subforum any more. But someone posted a link in that forum about someone who “is thought to be the world's premier expert on NPD”. Good grief!! Where did the poster get that idea? From the INTERNET. There’s been a commercial on TV – I don’t even remember what it was for – but there was a young woman in it who claimed “you can’t put anything on the internet if it isn’t true.” Seems like there’s a lot of that opinion going around.

I am not a people person. I’m an introvert by temperament so there’s no changing that. I probably come off pedantic at times, a leftover from the broken-down OCPD. I don't know how to get a self-help organization for PD'ers off the ground. I’m convinced, though, that we need to “fight back” ourselves because people who don’t have a PD don’t really understand how difficult it is.

Or maybe I’m stuck, obsessively, in that idea and it just won’t work. Please, I would love to have some feedback!
