Hmm, I will--maybe. It's just that some of this "he implied all NPDs are bad" is a near mirror of the shaming that I've seen done not only to me but to my stepdad for 40 years. It's triggering, I guess. I'm in a very foul mood/defensive.

As I said, I mean nothing against NPD. Also, it seems I can't edit it or move it now? How would I go about that?

In my defence, however; if someone asked if their boyfriend disappearing for 2 months without social contacts was something I related to, I'd say yes. This relates to me heavily as a schizoid.

Disorders are by nature not "good;" we all are here because our aberrations have caused some type of signigicant social, economic, or interpersonal strain. I see no need to sugar-coat it. Sam Valkin has zero issue stating his malignant traits, nor do I.

Moreover, instead of long psuedo-logical rebuts, I'm surprised no one has said whether they related to it or not. It would seem that would have been a lot easier, but I suppose I should remember where I am posting and the nature of the illness itself. Unfortunately, no degree of narcicism can supplement logical structure (fuzzy logic). Thank god for rationality....

The degree of deflection here as opposed to a straight-forward yes/no/"I think so"/"That doesn't relate to me" etc speaks volumes more than the actual answer I suppose. I have seen near opposite in the BPD section, for example.
