fuck I’m not in the right headspace when I’m asking this, unresolved trauma. Now I’m repeating in my head “love them more than my mental illnesses”.

I wanted to warn an organization i cared about my past and that manipulation comes naturally to me to the point where I don’t notice after the fact. I legit want see them succeeded and stand in blind solidarity.

I have reached out someone in the organization about my issues. I’m hoping they respond.

      Yeah, something else seems to be going on. A narcissist doesn’t consider warning people about themselves.

        I was gonna say something like this.

        Narcissists have a very hard time accepting they’re narcissists.

        If you think “hmm, I might be a narcissist” you’re almost certainly not.

        But you might be a hypochondriac or have Munchausens

      well a guy claiming to by a psychiatrist said i wasnt a psychopath but instead a sadist and dipped. and i think i got diagnosed as that kind of depression where you don’t feel as high of swings

          oh no you can feel different levels of shit for sure, you can have suicidal thoughts then it stops… I don’t know psychology all that well. manipulation is more intuitive for me. i mean that as more context for what i actually mean

            That doesn’t necessarily mean psychopathy or narcissism in a clinical sense. Being manipulative is sometimes a coping mechanism people learn from their parents.

            I highly suggest seeing a therapist to figure it out.

        What do you mean by them claiming to be a psychiatrist? If you saw them in a professional capacity (i.e. office visit, whether in person or virtual, that insurance paid for, at least in part) then yes, they were a licensed psychiatrist. If it was some random person online, then it’s doubtful

          weird when I get drilled for a claim someone made. the context is that its apocryphal. they said they worked with psychopaths in a psych ward i think (memmories fuzzy but its in one of my lemmy accounts). I actually do agree with him and it caused a little self reflection

              So are you a dick to everyone that admits they’re not in the right headspace or just me. I admit I’m a manipulative narcissist that can make people like you feel shitty. I already pointed out in the past that Lemmy users are mentally ill and need to confront their issues.

                I’m speaking objectively, I’m not criticizing you. Your emotional and defensive response says more about you than me. I encourage you to step back and look at what was said again.

                  No i actually putting the idea in your head that you’re bringing demanding and toxic in your head.

                  I had another guy ask me how I was sexually assaulted and their first thought was to ask if dry humping was penetration…
