      People who really get heated up about "language policing" raise a lot of questions for me Like what, exactly, was so awesome about the word you were using that makes you so unwilling to give it up What is the function it's performing that you find so useful

      Like the whole thing about the word "narcissist" is that, on the superficial level, it's *not* a term of abuse It's not like saying "asshole" or "motherfucker" or "piece of shit" or just "jerk" It has an air of clinical detachment to it, of objectivity

      It does not have either of those things in common usage. It’s used exactly the same way ‘asshole’ and ‘motherfucker’ are

      Lol no If someone cuts you off in traffic your first impulse is not to scream "You delusional narcissist!"

      It might not be an expletive but there’s no context where it’s ever anything but an insult

      Yes, and in reality that's how the word "obese" is used too I am explaining exactly why I think it's a *worse* insult because it's a *stealth* insult

      Replying to @arthur_affect @viveka and

      ‘Obese’ has a ton of use as a clinical term in the mainstream though. ‘Narcissist’ is not and has never been a stealth insult in any imaginable way. It’s purely an insult in every context outside the DSM5

      It is, at the very least, a word with a very different tone from "asshole" It *purports* to be an objective description of someone's attitude or behavior

      Yeah it’s a descriptive insult but lots of insults are descriptive. They’re still just insults.

      Maybe this wasn't always true, but if you are on this website in the year 2021 and you see someone who really really likes the word "narcissist" and uses it a lot (to the point of shortening it to "narc") then they absolutely do have a Theory of Human Nature they mean by it

          That threw me at first, that is not what narc used to mean.

          This is the first I’ve ever heard of someone using narc to mean anything other than snitch myself

          It’s used far more generally now. Had 1st hand experience of a diagnosed malignant narcissist who went to counselling we read DSM-5. Our friendship didn’t end well he was a monster. You become experienced at spotting them eg Donald I use for anti mask/vaxxers instead of selfish

          Okay, so your usage of the word is exactly what I find problematic and what I am opposed to, let's just be clear
