How would you feel if somebody you knew told you they had NPD? (lemmy.ml)

If somebody you knew like a family member, partner or friend told you they had NPD would you still talk to them? Would it change how you feel about that person?

As someone with NPD I'm always worried about how having NPD would affect me socially. It's so stigmatised and people are always talking about how dangerous people with cluster B personality disorders are. I'm dating this guy at the minute. I really love him but I'm worried about how he would feel if he found out about my NPD. Would he still want to see me after what you see online about NPD? Should I ever tell him? Should I just keep it secret?

As of now I've told nobody about my diagnosis other than a few people at job interviews. What I'm basically asking here is 'How will NPD affect your social life?'.

Many people claim to have NPD nowadays, as a person who grew up in NPD household i say these people who claim to be NPD haven't met REAL NPD persons yet, since NPD persons is akin to cold blooded psychopath that wants to control EVERYTHING and have EVERYONE sympathy on their side, even getting out of NPD household is insurmountable task for most people, so what I'm trying to say, these people who claim to be BPD or/and NPD are don't know what REAL NPD/BPD persons is behind the closed doors

Nope, more like everyone cleams to have known with NPD just because they didn't like them and only understand NPD as the 'bad man I don't like disorder'
