Thank you so much, it means a lot.-snip-
I think the same too, except I think of hatred and regret. Hatred that I am unable to participate in any games and regret due to my aforementioned disorder. It's up there in becoming one of my least favorite events on par with all the rest TBT has in store.I'm not gonna lie, every time I think about the TBTWC it makes me feel so stressed and overwhelmed. thinking about even doing cheers causes me stress. I think it's the competitive nature of the event, I'm not trying to be competitive but I'm extra sensitive rn (bc mania yay) and just being in the atmosphere of competitiveness almost kinda ruins the fun for me. ofc that's no one's problem but my own, but it still sucks. another TBTWC goes by without much participation from me, I guess it's just not the right kind of event for me.![]()
my mother has narcissistic personality disorder. there is no "getting rid of it." you have to change your thought process and your actions according to how you wish to behave/think typically with psychiatric or therapeutic intervention. i wouldn't assume you have any personality disorder until you receive a clinical diagnosis.If there's any help from the users around the forums who can get rid of this disorder, It would be greatly appreciated.
So if you don't think I have a disorder, then care to explain why I act this way?my mother has narcissistic personality disorder. there is no "getting rid of it." you have to change your thought process and your actions according to how you wish to behave/think typically with psychiatric or therapeutic intervention. i wouldn't assume you have any personality disorder until you receive a clinical diagnosis.
"wanting to be better" ALONE is not a solid reason to become diagnosed with it, NPD can be critically damaging to relationships, family bonds and even schooling and finances. if it's something you genuinely struggle with, i.e you struggle to keep friends or a job because of narcissistic tendencies, there's nothing you can do EXCEPT to reach out for professional help.
however, all this aforementioned, i don't think it's a reason to leave the forums unless you find you're actively attacking, harrassing or belittling other users. and i don't see you do that! if it's a personal reason, i.e you want to step away while you figure things out and heal, then thats a valid reason. but to me, from what ive seen of you, nothing you've done has been blatantly alarming or rude. it's a very livable personality disorder, it just requires lifestyle changes and a lot of willpower to do better, as well as a good support system (which can be very difficult to find for people with personality disorders.)
i didn't say i don't think you have the disorder. (edit: when i say "i wouldnt assume," i mean the metaphorical "i," as in "if i were you." not me personally speaking.) i am saying that you haven't done anything on the forums to warrant leaving it, regardless of whether or not you believe you have NPD or not. i can't explain why you're having certain thoughts or behaviors, i'm not licensed to do anything of the sort. im as baby of a med student as you can be, and im certainly not specializing in psychiatry. if you believe you have this disorder, and it's actively disturbing your life, then you need to speak to a therapist or psychologist about what your best course of action is.So if you don't think I have a disorder, then care to explain why I act this way?
Now I start to think about it, I don't feel like I have it at all. I more think it's my lack of respect to other members on the forums. When I see someone have bad skills at something, I straight up give obvious signs of bad behavior. I think I do it to make me feel better, and that in itself is not a kind member. It's no wonder why I haven't made any friends on TBT yet.i didn't say i don't think you have the disorder.

The fact that you can acknowledge these things is good though. I’m not saying they’re true, i dont know you very well, but if you’re able to see what you’re doing wrong (and admit it), that’s a good sign that you can changeNow I start to think about it, I don't feel like I have it at all.

Truthfully, I'm out of options on how to become a better member as the more punishments I get, the more envious I become.
Yes, but I fear that despite all this, I'll forget it and keep doing my unhealthy behavioral ways.The fact that you can acknowledge these things is good though.

Dun, I honestly can’t remember what you said, I bet you’re the only person who can. It’s okay-snip-
