From this article’s title, it may seem I am accusing people who claim to be apolitical of mental disability, with the goal of transferring…

Spicy title, I know, but please read on. I’m not using the phrase “mental disability” like an ableist liberal would. This isn’t an insult, it’s an examination of psychology and appropriation.

    I have NPD, so I understand a lot of that. What I’m missing is an ego. My parents didn’t give Me one. I had to make My own, and it’s crap. It kept on falling apart every time it suffered a little knock, so I made it huge with lots of redundancies. Problem is, a lot of neurotypicals are personally offended by a big ego. They think My internal thoughts are an abuse against them. My NPD wouldn’t be a disability if everyone else could just get used to My private personal coping mechanisms.
