I've been seeing this really often in mental health subreddits where someone will share a story about being abused or mistreated by someone, and there are people replying to their story speculating on which personality disorder made them so awful -- AND IT'S ALWAYS SO SURFACE LEVEL. I swear to god the amount of people diagnosing abusers over the internet with literally any cluster B personality disorder is astounding.

Not every selfish person has NPD. 
Not every person who seeks out attention and others' approval has HPD.
Not every person who shows apathy, or has hurt others has ASPD.
Not every person who has problems controlling their emotions has BPD.

It's like people latch onto one negative symptom and say 'This is the disorder', forgetting how many other symptoms there are and that YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE THAT PARTICULAR SYMPTOM TO BEGIN WITH.

I'm so sick of scrolling through subreddits that should be safe spaces for people struggling with mental health difficulties and being reminded that people think personality disorders are basically The Root of All Evil™. 

If someone's being a dickhead, most of the time it's not that deep, and they're just being a dickhead. No need to blame it on a disorder that you obviously don't know enough about and lump their shitty behaviour in with our symptoms.

Sorry, just needed to vent. I'm so tired
