People usually notice signs when the subject struggles to appear affable in social situations.

RCPD is not found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR). As a hypothetical syndrome, RCPD could include aspects of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) as well as traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) .

womp
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
