I feel like it’s OK to demonize narcissism in ways that would be unacceptable ableism if you were talking about other neurodivergents or personality disorders.
It’s just as blanket and vague as calling someone an asshole.
It’s become such a pop-psych phenomena, I think it’s time for clinical people to abandon the term to pop culture. When a diagnosis becomes a common insult, it’s time for a new term.
I’m sick to fucking death of the word being tossed at anyone acting an ass. My mother had NPD, only person I’ve been close to that certainly had it. Got on r/raisedbynarcissists and it was a bunch of whiny little bitches whose parents were merely selfish, and sometime only occasionally.
Narcissism is not neurodivergence, it is a personality disorder. There is a great difference between them. But to your point, I think that the proper term is “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”.
