Stripe color meaning: “Black: Support for people with NPD
Red: Normalization of symptoms. Doctors frequently see our symptoms as making us inherently broken, but this isn’t true. NPD symptoms are not a deathwish.
Orange: Proper information and resources. NPD has so many clickbait titles to the point where finding proper information can be hard, and we should change that.
Yellow: NPD awareness and education. Helping people learn about it in a healthy environment, its causes, and its symptoms.
White: Recovery. People with NPD are capable of, and deserve to, recover.
Purple: Solidarity between people with NPD and other cluster B disorders.”
BPD Flag (from bpdflag):
Meaning: “While there is a popular black and white BPD flag, I wanted to create one with more colour to show the depth of BPD. I was inspired by the NPD Awareness Flag by npdsafe, and the alternate NPD flag by npdflag to make this. I followed the amount of stripes the NPD flag has as to show solidarity between cluster B disorders.
Stripe Meanings:
(#000000) Black: Duality, Emptiness, and Support: Black and White both represent the duality of BPD. Along with that, black represents feellings of being void, hollow and emptiness. It also represents support for people with BPD.
(#711f49) Purple-Red: Negative Intense Emotions: Purple-Red, Dark Magenta, represents intense negative emotions, both internal and external. This includes overwhelming feelings of rejection, feelings of abandonment, anger, and more.
(#e24069) Pink-Red: Positive Intense Emotions: Pink-Red, Lipstick Pink, represents intense positive emotions, both internal and external. This includes feelings of europhoria, love, healing, wellbeing, and more.
(#d6cce8) Light Lavender: Fear and Dissociation: Light Lavender, Haze, represents fear, fear of abandonment, paranoia, dissociation, loss of sense of identity, feeling out of touch with reality, derealisation, and depersonalisation.
(#ada1d3) Dark Lavender: Solidarity and Remembrance.: Dark Lavender, Periwinkle, represents solidarity between people with BPD and other cluster B disorders. It also serves as a reminder of the different ways BPD presents itself in different people. It also serves rememberance of those with BPD who have passed away.
(#ffffff) White: Duality and Recovery: White and Black both represent the duality of BPD. Along with that, white represents recovery, and that people with BPD are not hopeless.”
HPD Flag (from bpd-zant, posted by npdsafe):
Meaning: “This is an HD rendition of the HPD flag made by a deleted Tumblr account. A reblogged post of the original can be found here, and the original post itself can be found here, however the link is broken. I’m simply providing it just as a reference. If someone is able to find an archived version of the original post, please let me know!
Sadly, because the OP deactivated, the stripe meanings are unknown. If I remember right, I think the bottom stripe was meant to represent cluster b solidarity. But, because people with HPD get so little in both the community and in general, I wanted to make an HD rendition, and be able to show people this gorgeous flag so that it can still be remembered and used.”
ASPD Flag (from npdsafe):
Stripe color meaning: “Light red: Unity among those with ASPD. This is a stripe that represents mutual unity and respect for others with ASPD. This may also include the ASPD community as a whole.
Mid-pink: Normalization of ASPD symptoms and treatment. This stripe represents the push for normalizing antisocial personality disorder treatment, as well as symptoms of ASPD, as being like any other disorder.
Dark pink: ASPD awareness and proper resources. This stripe represents ASPD awareness and resources. It represents the need for more awareness towards those with ASPD, as well as proper resources for both people with ASPD, and for those who are better trying to learn about the disorder.
Dark purple: Recovery. Dark purple represents recovery. This does not simply mean “going to a doctor and getting cured”, but also represents personal recovery, acceptance of oneself, and symptom management.
Very dark blue: Destigmatization of people with ASPD, and education. This stripe represents destigmatization and education. People with ASPD are not monsters, they are not freaks, they are simply people with a disorder who deserve the same amount of respect as anyone else. It also represents proper education on ASPD.
Black: Support for those with ASPD. Black represents support for those with ASPD as a whole. It represents allyship towards us and a push to better lift us up.
Dark blue: Cluster b (aspd, npd, bpd, hpd) solidarity. Dark blue represents cluster b solidarity. We have plenty of bleed-over in symptoms, and it is important to support and stand with one another to better learn about the issues of each.”
