Whenever I tell someone about my disorders (Narcissistic, Histrionic, and OCD), the first response I always get is "I don't see that in you." For me, my first thought is "well no duh, like I'd show it." I get this from my friends, and even worse from my family. It really makes me feel like they don't know me at all. On one hand I'm proud of keeping my secret so well, but then again... You know what I mean. It sucks that no one sees you for who you really are, and when you have nobody you can be completely honest with it totally hits you in the ego. Sometimes it's so bad I want to scream and punch somebody in the face. I want this thread to be for people who feel like I do, even when you don't want to admit it. I want this to be the place where we have nothing to hide, where you can rant about who wronged you (under pseudonym, mind you- you never know who's watching.) or what's bugging you without any fear. I want this to be our sanctuary.
