This is one of those arguments that gets overbuilt on the anti- side. Narcissist is a boogeyman. There is no dark secret lurking at the heart of people's person

This is one of those arguments that gets overbuilt on the anti- side. Narcissist is a boogeyman. There is no dark secret lurking at the heart of people's personality.

There ARE folks who are clearly narcissists, and having met one? God damn. It is very true that it is overused and ‘trendy’ right now to label folks that are a pain in the ass or that people don’t like that way, which is unfortunate. Doesn’t mean they don’t actually exist though. There ARE folks that fundamentally don’t work the way most people think people work, and that have (and which will continue to) cause sometimes catastrophic damage to themselves or others. Many of those folks can be fit into specific named boxes. Some cannot. If you consider that a dark secret or not is up to you.
