more to the point, taking safety warnings as a personal insult is a red flag for literally dangerous narcissism

  > taking safety warnings as a personal insult is a red flag for literally dangerous narcissism It certainly can be, but I have worked with people that absolutely use "safety" as a reason not to do anything, or as a reason to shoot down ideas from people they are competing against (different departments, possible promotions, etc). Like most things in life, this is not black or white, it's some shade of gray.

    Are you talking about life safety or some other kind of safety? “Safety” is a word having many different senses. Your mentioning of promotions and competing ideas makes it seem to me you are using safety in a much broader sense than the sense of safety one would have in mind when talking about submarines occupied by humans.

    > I have worked with people that absolutely use "safety" as a reason not to do anything, or as a reason to shoot down ideas from people they are competing against this is literally the exact same argument used by the CEO before he and several others died due to it he was so insulted that experienced and qualified personnel were just trying to shoot down his idea even if you believe this is the case in a given hypothetic, it's still not a valid reason to take it as an attack on you as a person, vs. a concern about a thing
