what’s the difference of behaviors between a person with npd and just an asshole?
how could you tell, since npd is an actual condition, so of course they’ll act differently, but it’s used so often to describe a regular, typical asshole.
anyone performing actions that hurt others where its not really about themselves. being mean for no particular reason or reward, especially to themselves.
this lady who was my friend for a while is mean a lot because she has anger issues and is just a generally miserable, rude person. she is also autistic (i believe) like me, and gets overstimulated and is rude to everyone when they start talking all at once.
however, she is also especially cruel when she wants some sort of goal, and acts superior to everyone else. you’re a useless loser no matter how hard you try, and you are disgusting to be around. how dare you stand less than 10 yards from her?! you’re lucky to even be in her presence.
also, she is “always better than you” and cannot admit being wrong or take accountability.
