Me too > I'm a bit wary of anything touching on narcissism, there was a big jump in people who loved talking about their narcissist ex the past 2-3 years. The term narcissist maybe overused, but a lot of us also learned to recognise it in recent years. It is a fairly common behaviour, and people can have narcissistic traits without having clinical NPD. Just because some people claim their ex was narcissistic without adequate justification, that does not mean there are not also many who are right when they say it. I think being forced into being confined with people during lockdowns also made people realise what they were putting up with. Because it is so different from how reasonable people behave, and it is associated with abusive behaviour, it can be hard to figure out what is going on. A bigger problem IMO is the overuse of "gaslighting" which dilutes its meaning and makes it harder to clearly describe the actual behaviour.

  Try giving corrective direction to a narcissist and see how emotionally stable they are...
