    Stop Calling Me a Narcissist: What Narcissism Really Means

    In Stop Calling Me a Narcissist: What Narcissism Really Means, we unpack why the word narcissist gets thrown at parents casually, what does it actually mean, and the difference between a narcissistic personality disorder and the everyday behaviors people often misunderstand. We also take a closer look at a growing trend: labeling an estranged parent as a narcissist. While some family dynamics are genuinely harmful and deserve to be addressed, this episode explores how quickly complex relationships can be reduced to a narcissism label and what can get lost in the process. This conversation dives into the statistics,  the emotional impact, and what narcissism really looks like from a diagnosis perspective. Whether you’ve been called a narcissist, have used the term yourself, or are navigating a complicated family relationship, this episode challenges assumptions and encourages a more thoughtful, honest dialogue.
