OP turned off reblog because they were weak and/or a coward but I wanted the post they stole off Twitter on my own blog so I'm doing it manually
#My mother was a diagnosed narcissist. My father was not. But he was an alcoholic and so detrimentally negative about everything#death doom and destruction was a common theme in my household growing up. would constantly have long convos where he'd ask me if I knew#some person who knew some other person who did blahblahblah and after 10 minutes of me going 'I have no idea who this is.'#he'd reply 'Oh well they died.' and then lament about death for another 20 minutes unless I forcefully changed the subject.#their combo of personality disorders severely impacted my relationships. so I can understand how someone can continue to run into the same#thing or same kind of person over and over because familiarity disguises itself as comfort when in reality it's a hidden knife.#on the other hand I really hate the inflation of these terms to deviate from their actual meaning.#that being said refusing to believe someone who is dealing with emotional pain does more damage than talking to them to find the root issue
