stop being weird about narcissists

the ways people immediately demonize people with NPD is baffling, considering how much progress we supposedly made as a society when talking about mental illness. way too often i see people call narcissists 'monsters', diagnose people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder just because they were a bit mean... the fact that 'narcissist' is often synonymous with 'abuser' or 'toxic person' to the public is unacceptable. 

NPD is a personality disorder stemming from TRAUMA. narcissistic people have as much right talking about their diagnosis as people with depression, anxiety, or what other mental illness is more 'acceptable' these days. the fact that 'narcissistic abuse' is such popular of a pseudoscientific term saddens me. you don't talk about 'depressive abuse' or 'compulsive abuse' when a person with depression or OCD is being shitty. 

i know that this website is full of children, but the least you can do as a person online is to seek out education on the topic, especially since so many minors struggle with trauma and mental health issues as well.
