I don't think self diagnosis is the biggest issue anymore. The problem with these terms hitting the mainstream and now flourishing all over social media, suddenly everyone feels like they're a trained psychologist because they watched a couple tiktoks of 'X ways to tell if your SO is a narcissist' and suddenly everyone's SOs, ex's and relatives are all narcissists. Add in all the new types like 'covert' and now humble people that hate the idea of showing off every moment of their life on social media get to also have the label, and you're a survivor for making it out of a relationship with one. Now you get to join the exclusive groups online about surviving NPD relationships or being raised by a narcissist and get all kinds of sympathy, because you did a few minutes of 'research' by watching a pop psych vid and managed to match up an instance with a few of the vague traits.

Narcissist and gaslighting are two of the most overused and wrongly used words in our language today, and it's hurting everyone.

The video on BPD was so much more thorough on treatment, it’s so hard to find out what treatment of narcissism will be like because of a massive abundance of people getting support for abuse BY narcissistic types.

Narcissistic person is striving for attention seeking. Need control
In order to survive. Lack contentment
He or she don’t need medicine
But a overhaul attitude adjustment
Narcissistic person are looking in
Wrong places in order to be fulfilled
