Of course I have, because arm chair psychology is actively harmful and unethical. Sociopathy and narcissism require a detailed review of a person's history, intentions, etc by a qualified medical professional in order to make a diagnosis. I'm also of the generation where, mostly women, influencers started wantonly using these labels on their enemies so I have a particular distaste for armchair psychology. I leave that bit between a patient and their psychologist, because largely it doesn't matter. The outcome is still what it is. It coming up in popular conversation is just an extension of using mental health as a boogey man and the old "people can't change" narrative.
