    If we could somehow cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 95% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.

    It’s just the perennial Problem of Evil, but with modern psychological terminology.

    Same shit, different day.

      I agree in full. I was raised by them and allowed myself to be their victim for far too long. I see people who have it daily. For the most part I ignore them since there is little to be done about their affliction. The only cure has to come from within. This is not likely. Therapy really can only help those who try to help themselves. They know they do bad things. They don’t care. They lack the capacity.

      The one that are the most problematics are NPD and ASPD, BPD doens’t give you enough drive to cause as much damage as them. But yeah, BPD unchecked can be also damaging to other people. Speaking from experience.

        Yeah, BPD tends to cause a lot of problems for the individual and those who are immediately in their circle. But it doesn’t drive someone to ruin the lives of hundreds of thousands of people just for clout.

      the first step to help with a disorder is to stop demonisation.

      stop calling every dislikeable person a narcissist. you don’t need to be a narcissist to be an asshole.

      people who are victims of abuse, done by people with cluster B disorders or not, often develop these disorders. they don’t seek help for it or admit it tho, because is it seen as “the abuser” disorder.

      finally, people can have cluster B traits without being cluster B themselves. same with every other personality disorder. we need to stop armchair diagnosing people, especially on the internet.
