Yeah. One FReeper gave a pretty good history of the vote in ‘73 (I think he/she said...mighta been you!) to take homosexuality out of the DSM - FReeper even had the vote totals!

Having had a prolonged major life crisis/run in with an NPD forced me to become pretty much an expert, click my name, but I like to think of the differential btwn the two NPD/BPD. ( I know books have been written)
The professionals I’ve interacted with have invariably said; “NPD feels like this and BPD feels like that.”
In my experience/observation, NPDs have more charm - at first at least, to suck you in. BPDs, not so much.
In fact, I’m beginning to think the LEFT is more like BPD (than NPD - though bama was an NPD - he had the charm), but it is interesting to me
that IT IS A MENTAL ILLNESS- leftism, that is.
