i get upset when i start to think about how similar people with ASPD and NPD are to the “normal” survivors of childhood trauma.
like we all hurt ourselves, get numb, rage, lash out, it goes on. and yet because our brains went in a slightly different direction during that trauma, we get shoved to the side, tossed out of recovery spaces and made to feel like the perpetrators of our own abuse.
and kids who have aspd/npd traits especially get dragged through the mud. no one sees a desperately hurt child in them, they just see some bad entity to be dealt with.
we’re just people, man. we’re just people.
