"I’d likely see bringing up their NPD diagnosis as an attention-seeking behavior. (This would be true no matter what the diagnosis was. If someone I didn’t know well just lead with “I have histrionic PD” or “I’m autistic” without a specific good reason to be bringing it up"
Well, obviously the things I talk about on the internet are different then irl. I would never bring it up to anyone in the real world. I don't even talk about it that much on here outside of a few threads. I only made those threads so that people can hear a different view on the topic from someone who has it rather then sensationalist pop-psychology trash.
I made this account so I can talk about things I couldn't irl and this diagnosis would be one of the things as it has really played in me since I first had it.
I wish more people were like you and your friends. Although I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's just words on a sheet of paper. That's like saying that a sentence is just words out of a Judges mouth but still, a personality disorder is a disorder like one else. Like not being able to walk or having autism. Sure, it may effect how I interact with the world but it doesn't define me and I can improve myself but most people wouldn't believe that considering how much the media has demonized NPD.
I thought if they ask your medical history you're supposed to give them a complete rundown. Recent appointments, diagnosis and medication everything now I know better
Finally, somebody understands. This is what I've been trying to get across to people. If somebody is being manipulative or abusive the problem is there behaviour not a diagnosis they were born with but our society is more preoccupied with pop psychology and demonising those with personality disorders.
Neely had already been in mental hospital to multiple times in the past not only that he had a strong safety net. You can talk about rehabilitation all day but the thing is the person is supposed to want to be rehabilitated. Neely clearly didn't want that. For whatever reason he was content with being a waste of air.
Jordan Neely is anything but a victim of the system. Neely was a violent criminal who was given chance after chance by the system to reform himself. He was even given a place to stay by the court but he left after a week. As the British would say Neely was a wasteman. Neely had over 40+ arrests and had a long history of violence sure he had a rough childhood and the drug addiction but there are plenty of who have that and don't grow up to menaces to society like Neely.
Daniel Penny was completely in the right and did nothing wrong. Neely was threatening everyone in that train and punched an elderly woman in the face. All Daniel Penny did was what the police should have done. Frankly, the only victims of the system here are the people of New York who had to deal with Neely's reign of Terror.
