Anyways I Think We Should Be Able To Acknowledge The Misogynistic Roots Of Hysteria And How That Relates

anyways i think we should be able to acknowledge the misogynistic roots of hysteria and how that relates to the history of histrionic personality disorder without completely discounting, dismissing, and invalidating people who actually have hpd and actually fucking struggle with the symptoms lmao

at the end of the day i literally still struggle with an intense need for attention and pretty much most, if not all, of the criteria for hpd 💀 this is my very real lived experience and struggle, claiming thats not real isnt fucking fair or right

have some fucking nuance, folks

dressing up to get attention does not make you “slutty” or an “attention whore” or whatever people want to call you. you are just fulfilling a need, nothing wrong with that! just remember to stay safe💜

I need to stop doing this

hpd culture is having barely any personal boundaries for what you will and wont tell people you will literally just tell anyone anything if it makes them pay attention to you for a bit

Racists pretend that "black lives matter" means "only black lives matter". They already know it's false, but they want black people to go crazy trying to prove it.

Homophobes and transphobes pretend that LGBT people are pedophiles. They already know it's false, but they want LGBT people to go crazy trying to prove it.

The vast majority of the people doing that are not mentally ill.

And ironically, the people who believe in "narcissistic abuse" are guilty of this. They know that "narcissistic abuse" isn't real and that abuse is normalized by society. But they want narcissists to go crazy trying to prove it.
