"Woke" is a Mental Disorder
Prove me wrong!
Cluster-B Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Cluster-B (NPD) IS the condition that defines the cult like progressive “Wokery” of these times. Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a formal mental health diagnosis. Although there are different subtypes of NPD, the most common symptoms are a strong sense of entitlement and superiority, need for attention, and lack of empathy. These symptoms can have a direct impact on how the person relates to others and themselves.
People can manage NPD symptoms when they’re committed to staying in therapy long term. Treatment can help regulate emotions and change hurtful behaviors to healthy ones.
Symptoms of NPD
More specifically, doctors diagnose narcissism when a person shows five or more specific symptoms.
These NPD symptoms have been established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) published by the American Psychiatric Association. It’s a handbook mental health professionals use as a classification reference for making accurate diagnoses.
Not everyone with narcissistic personality will have these symptoms in the same degree or intensity, but five of them need to be present over time and across different situations for a diagnosis to be made.
Even though there’s still no consensus, some experts believe that fragility, fear, and low self-esteem could explain some NPD symptoms.
Grandiosity and self-importance
Exaggeration is often the basis for grandiosity. This means that people with NPD tend to have an inflated sense of self-importance. They may feel they’re more powerful, intelligent, capable, and charming than they really are and more than other people in general.
To reaffirm this sense of superiority, someone with narcissistic personality may exaggerate or lie about their accomplishments, skills, and talents.
For some people with NPD, this sense of superiority isn’t as evident in how they behave. Some may be shy or withdrawn, but they may still firmly believe they’re superior in one or many aspects compared to other people.
Fantasies of perfection and superiority
People with narcissistic personality may constantly fantasize about having unlimited power, intelligence, beauty, acceptance, or love. They often believe they deserve it more than others.
Sense of specialness and uniqueness
People with NPD may have the need to highlight how special and unique they are in comparison to everyone else.
This also leads them to believe they can only be understood by or associate with other special and unique people and groups.
If someone doesn’t “get them,” it’s because they’re not as smart, special, or unique.
Need for praise and attention
People with narcissistic personality may have a constant need to be admired and praised. They might seek constant attention and might not take well to any form of criticism.
They may also resent others who don’t think what they’re doing and saying is exceptional.
Strong sense of entitlement
Someone with NPD may be convinced they deserve special treatment and have the right to all the available privileges.
Similarly, people with NPD might feel everyone should comply with their expectations and demands.
A tendency to exploit others
Manipulation and exploitation tactics are very common in many people with narcissistic personality. This means they may take advantage of others to achieve their own goals because there’s a need for personal gain above everything else.
People with NPD might also use strategies such as spreading lies about others in order to get ahead.
In many instances, a person with NPD may turn to cruelty when they feel their needs aren’t met, or if someone doesn’t treat them the way they expect.
Lack of empathy
Someone with NPD might be unable to connect with the needs of others or put themselves in someone else’s shoes. This is one of the main reasons why they might behave in a cruel or exploitative way.
This lack of empathy might also show as selfishness, disregard, and lack of compassion for what others are experiencing or feeling.
Jealousy, envy, and distrust
People with this personality disorder usually believe others are competing with them or are envious of who they are. In the same way, they may often compete with others or feel envious of their accomplishments.
Arrogance and scorn
Some people with narcissistic personality may disregard others as worthless, ridiculous, or despicable. This belief may lead them to display an attitude of arrogance and scorn.
