Is it normal i think it's wrong to discriminate against narcissists?

Everybody these days blathers about ableism and mental illness, unless you've got NPD or its cousin, ASPD. I have been diagnosed with NPD, and I can tell you that I didn't choose to be like this - everyone else seems so fucking happy with their lives, and personally, I can't help but hate them. I feel disconnected from everyone 24/7 and the only reason I do anything at all, is so that I can feel worthy of everyone else's time. I know that narcissists can be difficult, but we're not like bipolar patients where you just take some lithium or whatever and everything gets fixed. There are actual problems with our brains that can be detected by scans, and I'm frankly a little tired of people treating me like I'm less than human just because they've decided that "empathy" is the human quality worth centering out of all the various qualities that our species has, or else taking out their relationship problems on me because "omg my ex was a total narcissist, didn't buy me a unicorn mansion for my birthday, defo ted bundy u guise!!!" Can non-narcs just get a fucking grip already? You're not angels.

    The issue that many people have with narcissists is that they often refuse to get any assistance. (Or even go to get diagnosed at all.) Mental illness doesn't excuse rude behavior. It may be the cause of it, but it's not an excuse.

    I respect you for being able to identify the issue and even empathize with it. I understand that it's not something you can change. Unfortunately being a dick tends to result in people being a dick back.

    • What have *I* done to deserve any of this? Nothing. I haven't done the first thing to anyone to prove that I'm a dick, they have decided to just come out swinging and make baseless statements about me, while demanding that they get better treatment without providing justification for why that should be the case.

        “They” who? If you’re talking about the comments here, this website is for people to be realistic. Anyone whining about “discrimination” gets the same treatment. If you want a flowery hug box try asking on Reddit or something.

        Respect is earned. All you’ve done here is ramble on about how your life sucks, blame it on society, claim that other disorders aren’t as serious as yours, say that empathy is problematic, try to manipulate us into feeling bad for you, insult “non-narcs”, and pull the “ableism“ card to excuse your behavior. That all is what proves you’re a dick.

        Even if you are incapable of emotional depth it’s not that hard to logically understand that if you want certain treatment from others you have to play by their rules.

          That's the hardline difference between a psychopath and a sociopath. A sociopath doesnt care nor learn that they need to play by societies rules. A psychopath figures that out and plays by societies rules (to a disturbing level of success)

          A sociopath is easy enough to find a psychopath can hide in plain sight.

          Might I add a psychopath doesnt even have to be crazy. They can be normal people contributing to society. Just got to catch it early before they start experimenting with the local stray population.

    You're just gonna have to get over it. Whining about how people have no empathy for narcissists isn't going to help you.

    Fuck all you cluster B freaks, the real issue is that BPD has collectively gaslighted society to not be allowed to talk about how abusive they are while its completely fine to talk about with NPD and ASPD (which it is, you fuckers aren't human). its always ''we're not as bad as the literal definition of the disorder makes us out to be!! we cant help it if we're abusive!! thanks a lot youre gonna make me kms now!!!''

    why the fuck are you expecting our empathy while saying its not that important of a quality? dumbass.

    Yeah man bipolar is a problem with the brain as well, not sure what your point is but much like a stereotypical narcissist you appear to believe the world revolves around yourself and your problems are the worst and most important ones. You need help and to stop being so bitter. Unless you go around telling people on the daily "hi i'm a narcissist!" I doubt that everyone constantly judges you for it.
    The only reason people would react negatively to you is that you behave in a bad way and hurt or offend people. You need to at least try to put yourself in other peoples shoes, which sure you may not be capable of but use your intellect then instead and think about the fact that things aren't always other peoples fault. If a lot of people you come across react negatively to you then that is a problem with you, not them. I get that narcissists are incapable of admitting flaws but it's about time you start trying. It really always starts with attitude, if you want to be happy then seek the help you need and stop trying to have everyone like you all the time because approval and happiness only comes from within. It can only ever be temporary from other people because no one can be your personal supply of approval and happiness as human beings all have their own ups and downs and their own lives and shit to deal with.

    A narcissist would never say any of this, wouldn’t even entertain the notion of it. I hope this helps improve your future lies,

    Sincerely, a real psycho.

            This isnt reddit. Petty insults like that dont work for the mostly well adjusted population of IIN.

    There are two types of narcissists. Ones who try to learn and better themselves and those who do not.

    You say “everyone treats me less of a human” but how did they even know you have NPD? They probably dont like you cuz you were rude to them or you told them you have NPD and that scared them away

    Although I'm not a narcissist, I relate to this on other things. Like especially about my sexuality and what I find appealing. People need to mind their damn business. The way you feel seems pretty similar to how I feel like I'm treated unfairly because of things that I can't help, like mental illness.

    If you don’t go on about it all the time you should be fine. They probably just think you’re trying to be edgy. I dated this strange fella once who used to carry a steak knife everywhere with him and go on about how psycho he was, it just got pretty tiresome
