All?
The posters who are identifying democrats (and making fun of them), are more right than many of them know. The democrat liberal leftist fits EVERY diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
(read my profile)
When they don’t, it is likely they are Borderlines. Borderlines are less charming, which makes me question Rome’s description. Both Narcissists and Borderlines are repulsive to me, you were more uncomfortable with the RNC? Interesting. I find them – Dems – decidedly unfunny. Sanctimonious, hypocritical assclowns. If the RNC is worse – well my FRiend, trust your gut. Maybe it IS time for a 3rd party…
Hostage, Bipolar is a chemical imbalance, with ups and downs (severe) – it CAN be managed with the right mix of drugs. The big question with Bipolars is; “Are you taking your meds?”
Chemical disorder is not personality disorder.
For Borderline and Narcissist, drugs might ameliorate some corrosive behaviors (just keep ‘em happy all the time? I don’t know), but it’s hard-wired into their personalities. As of this date, It cannot be changed.
Jaguar, SAD is…well, sad. I’m sorry for your struggles. You are a hell of a warrior to take a stand in the front lines and do the work. I believe it can be managed, at least somewhat with drugs…correct me if I’m wrong…
ONE of the article’s themes is “we don’t know the brain”. I’m convinced there’s a difference
(and a differential diagnosis that could work). Maybe some clever FReeper could untangle what I’m saying, I hope so, but there’s a VAST difference between your son and a psychopath, between your son, and a cold-blooded leftist determined to take everything away from me, between your son and the narcissistic sob’s that seek to destroy us.
Please, let us make fun of them, without becoming offended.
Leftists ARE mentally ill – but that is not an excuse, it is a description.
Your son is mentally ill, but, not in the ‘leftist sense’.
catlady, enjoy your contribution on here. I can tell you’re ‘Narcissistic Supply’ – which means you’re full of goodness :0…the reason you’re a notoriously bad judge is well, you’ve been trained, haven’t you?
I doubt that you’re as “notorious” as you say… :)))
Berlin actually has the right of it (for once) haha –
“…when you feel uneasy…”
IOW –
TRUST YOUR GUT!
(“The Gift of Fear” is a good book to read @ that)
Scored a 6, and I’m stayin away from fred...
I give a mixed review to The Gift of Fear. There is worthwhile information in it, but this stuff—predicting who will go postal, for example, just isn’t an exact science.
I also think that books like his are reason for the popularity of personality tests in the hiring process. I despise these.
Remind me again, does Gavin deBecker take any position on people arming themselves in case of workplace rampages, etc? It seems to me he does, but I can’t remember.
