Diagnosed or not....many people here were talking about manipulation, gaslighting, ghoting, sociopath...
Maybe you have been diagnosed? How is it?

I've always guessed I'm a sociopath (I avoid medical professionals on past experience), honestly I envy legitimate psychopaths with their ability to ignore conscience and empathy entirely. The ability to live just for yourself is respectable.
Yes, I started to deal with these types of people in employment and it made me not want to be employed anymore just to avoid having to continue running into them. There's always one in every employment setting usually and if u don't have the skills to deal with them it's goin to be a miserable situation.These people are everywhere and are a key reason on my path to considering CTB. My stepfather has been the big one, over a decade of enduring constant anxiety and dread caused by controlling, domineering, rage prone craziness of this monster. Sadly after escaping this I've found plenty more in the world of work, meaning you just can't escape them. A nasty stubborn bully I got stuck with having to try to manage in a previous job, a whole gang of them in my previous toxic workplace and now I'm at the mercy of another one who I work for in my current shitty job. If you're an awkward, mild mannered type like me these people will make your life hell.
Narcissism is the most disgusting human trait. These people are dangerous and the whole fucking world is full of them.
Just look at Instagram, selfies everywhere. In their faces is written: "I'm a fucking narcissistic personality - and now fuck me"
My mother has narcissistic personality disorder. Growing up with a person with this as your parent can be devastating because as a kid you don't understand that your parent has a mental illness. There is a big difference between having narcissistic traits and the actual disorder. The most dangerous are the covert narcissists like my mother. She was very high functioning and hid it well from other people.
As a result of having my mother as the main adult around me growing up I naturally thought that it was normal and often got involved with people who had similar disorders as my mother. To survive living with my mom as a kid I developed maladaptive survival mechanisms which I then carried into my relationships with other people.
I began to look for psych help in my 20's because I started to notice I'm really struggling and didn't know what is goin on with me. I had developed the usual emotional dysregulation that many people develop in abusive or neglected environments. Of course the medical establishment is controlled by psychopaths and narcissists which makes it tough to find help. Our system is set up to continue this abuse unfortunately.
I am actually amazed by how many outright psychopaths the medical/mental health field harbor.
Even when they are caught, they all cover for each other, worse than dirty cops. They are drawn to professions that give them power over helpless people. They don't have the balls nor brains to spar with a healthy, non-crippled opponent.
And school teaching field. And parental field.
*I find it amusing how a set of behavioral patterns, characterized by malevolence toward other people, is considered to be a personality disorder.
1) It doesn't seem to deviate much from normal human behaviour
2) Isn't "the cause significant distress or impairment of personal functioning?" is what defines a mental disorder? (Oh! Maybe that's why victims of abuse are diagnosed with mental disorders!)
Yes this is how it is. Normally in a free market system this would never happen. You would only make money in a therapy field if u cured or at least significantly helped improve someone's life with mental health issues. We don't have a free market though so there is no incentive to actually cure and heal people.I am actually amazed by how many outright psychopaths the medical/mental health field harbor.

I've given up with doctors for this reason. Maybe I've had bad luck, but my experiences seem all too common with others as well. Between having my life ruined by unwanted/unecessary surgery, and then being yelled at and gaslit by said surgeon, to having my pain and health issues dismissed by other doctors... I just don't trust the fuckers to help me. I'm just a hysterical female, there's nothing wrong with me, I'm far too young to have "real" problems and I'd best see a shrink because god forbid any of them be competent enough to go beyond the basic checklist to find out what the fuck is wrong with me. It's all in my head. I've overheard nurses laughing about me in a different room, as if I'm too stupid to hear/understand them... because even medical health "professionals" view the mentally ill as bratty, stupid children.I am actually amazed by how many outright psychopaths the medical/mental health field harbor.
