  0 0 Capitol Hill (14th and Union). Yep, we definitely are moving. I remember 7 years ago I rented a nice small studio in Capitol Hill for $425. Neighborhood has changed a LOT. kibbies commented 3 months ago

  0 0 Agreed - this is the Chloe Apartments in Capitol Hill, by the way (they have the doggie ads plastered all over the hill). It's a nice new building but definitely not THAT nice. kibbies commented 3 months ago

  4 3 The reason psych 101 students are known for diagnosing their friends and family with personality disorders is because they're like a horoscope or palm reading - they're so vague and common that everyone knows at least someone that matches the stated criteria. For example, look up histrionic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder and see if your friend matches the criteria for those. She probably will, almost by definition. There's a pretty broad consensus in the psych community that Narcissistic Personality Disorder isn't a real "thing" and will almost certainly be removed from the next DSM. It's like diagnosing a woman with "hysteria." I wasn't diagnosing your friend, just giving some examples of other more common (and usually temporary and treatable) conditions that can cause every behavior associated with NPD. If you just don't want to deal with her regardless of whatever conditions she may have, that's fine. It's completely reasonable to stop being friends with someone because you can't stand them. If you care enough to try to help her, you can tell her specifically what she is doing that you don't like. Telling her she has an untreatable condition and then saying goodbye isn't helpful. kibbies commented about 1 year ago

  Should I tell my soon-to-be ex-friend that she's got Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Or just let it go and walk away?

  6 3 Diagnosing friends with personality disorders is the defining symptom of "Psych 101 Disorder." It's meaningless to insinuate she has a specific disorder, and you're probably wrong. It also makes you sound like a jerk for dumping a friend because they have a "disorder." "Personality" means that behavior is stable across a wide range of time and social situations, which means even a very experienced PhD wouldn't diagnose someone with a personality disorder from looking at their behavior when they're severely depressed with new friends after a divorce. Depression, anxiety, and/or even a pill problem sound more likely to me. You can just tell her it's very difficult to be around her and tell her specifically what she is doing. kibbies answered in Whatever about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  What are some good places to buy owl-themed items in Seattle?

  0 0 Urban outfitters and Anthropologie - owls were big with hipsters around 2008 which means UO is getting in their owl stock right about now.
