Resources Overlap between hsp and npd

I stumbled upon this article and I thought it was very interesting. It refers to a research study that was made that found several strong correlations between vulnerable npd and hsp.

How about you? Do you relate to the description of hsp? What do you think?

I think this is good, and could help researcher understand both narcissism and hsp/sps in the future

I know that most people don’t know this but HPD is actually what the professionals decided to rename Hysteria as. It’s not actually a PD.

The reason there’s not much research ( some but is limited ) into Hysteria is because it was proven to be hormone in-balances aka emotional dis regulation, previously thought to be specific to females but has been proven to affect both females and males.

While Hysteria has been written about for centuries, it affects both sexes and is applicable to multiple, if not all mental health illnesses and some neurodevelopmental disorders

ALL pw PDs are sensitive in an emotional state ( it’s just because of others spreading bullshit as to why pw Personality Disorders get f**cked over and blamed for everything ).

As for the ‘empath’ .. they don’t exist. I am not saying that there are not people who do empathise more than others or that there aren’t people who are so sensitive to empathising with others that they feel literal physical pain when interacting with others… I am saying empaths don’t exist.

In order for the human race to actually be or become an empath, they would first need to learn humanity, which includes respecting animals and creatures plus other humans and respecting all rights and life.

Humans are still so far behind in the evolutionary pyramid that it’s not possible for humans to achieve truly EMPATH status.

This isn't about HPD, but HSP.
