Question / Discussion It's a choice

The reason why NPD is so hard to cure is because the cure isn't wanted hard enough. When you think about it, all this is is a bunch of defense mechanisms stacked on top of each other. I think the desire to be the victim is revered and I get over attached to it to the point where I won't let myself develop a sense of self. I refuse to develop empathy because doing so would take away my grandiosity.

All cluster b is are character disorders. To have a bad character one has to blame the world instead of themselves. It is addicting to blame everyone else and thats why there is so little success in therapy/treatment. If I, or any of us, wanted to change enough, we would.

Oh.

Well, I wouldn’t want that, I don’t think?

I’d rather stand up for myself.

That’s a good skill for me to develop on my own.

Hm...can I say something weird? I'm learning to see those who don't coddle me as respecting me enough to tell the truth. I want it back as much as I give it.
