“I think it’s important to make some distinctions — I have adhd, and have dealt with a covert narcissist at the workplace. I feel like some of the generalizations made— need to be recognized as commorbid with other disorders. as a freelancer who had a toxic client, I would miss deadlines and had reasons for it, I was being overworked. I also have RSD, and need a lot of helpful feedback and kindness (doesn’t mean I’m a narcissist, I’ve actually been criticized a lot and “praise” from others makes me feel valued and is super helpful for me because It gives me dopamine etc) I also have a really wild family situation, and would have to switch things around a lot as well. My clients schedule controlled my life and my boundaries were never honored— so I was burning the candlestick at both ends and would constantly be behind and my client would deflect. I just think there needs to be a couple of important distinctions so that people don’t leave the podcast unaware of context or situational aspects. PTSD & ADHD have similarities with some of the blanket statements made and I think that’s crucial to note. I also think it’s important to note that codependent individuals might share some of these characteristics as well! Unless the podcast hosts are truly educated on these disorders and licensed psych professionals, I think these distinctions are important to make.”
