    Maybe not the worst but something else: the need to be in control and the inability to make decisions.

    So you get people who want to be in charge but can’t actually do anything when they are in charge.

    Narcissist with a victim complex. Nothing is their fault, and if it is, it affects them worse than you.

      This. This is the winner. Those people deserve all the suffering they inflict on themselves. Unfortunately, they enjoy it.

      what’s funny is that narcissists only play the victim and never fully accept that they are the victim because they believe being the victim is beneath them.

      they generally only play the victim when it achieves their end goal.

      narcissists are the best prey to victimize because they can never admit that they are the victim when it doesn’t fit their goal. not only do they suffer in silence, they spend an inordinate amount of time attempting to plan retribution which only makes them easier to manipulate. as long as you maintain the ability to stomp on their progress while achieving their goal of revenge, you can play with narcissists endlessly until they tear themselves apart.

        Yes, this is true, I have NPD (caused by parental abuse as a small child), and it has made Me very easy to abuse. I was having flashbacks and thought spirals for years after I was abused by an intimate partner. In the end I lost My job because of it and became homeless.

        And just like any other disorder, I’d ask that you use either person first or identity first language. Person first would be “person with NPD” and identity first would be “narcissistic person”. Shortening the disorder name into a label is against the APA’s inclusive language guidelines because it contributes to stigma. Research has shown that stigma against NPD leads to low diagnosis rates and poor mental health outcomes.

    In an everyday level: anxious and stubborn. The kind of people who constantly worry but also won’t listen to reason when it’s explained why they needn’t worry.

      Anxiety isn’t cured with mere knowledge. It’s one of those survival things that needs more basic response.

        Exactly, my rational mind is very aware 99.9% of my anxiety and terror is nonsense.

        The rest of me, however, goes “That’s nice… Let’s put a pin in it and react like it isn’t anyways”
