Using the term shuts down a conversation as fast as the term "racist"...as to respond...might well prove you are indeed a narcissist. When you use the term...you are likely the one it most aptly describes. Like most internet diagnoses, they worth what you paid for them...maybe less.

The problem is that people throw the term narcissist around like the word "*********", so the meaning gets diluted.
If you've ever dealt with a real, diagnosed narcissist then you'd know it's real. And the diagnosis is not to serve the person afflicted... they are not self aware enough to ever understand. It's a diagnosis that serves those who have to live with them and negotiate boundaries
