I realized some people do not know what a “textbook narcissist” is. Yet, the term is brought around loosely along with other mental health disorders. Everyone who shows a particular type of emotion or acts in a specific manner isn't necessarily a mental health disorder or concern. The truth is people do what they want to do, and their behavior doesn't need to be associated with a mental health diagnosis.
Mental health disorders have enough stigmas placed on them, and we have real people who have genuine mental health disorders.
As a mental health professional, I am not here to judge but to educate. I have plenty of mental health professionals on my TL who would also like to educate. I cannot diagnose anything, but I can educate you on different disorders.
We have to break the stigmas on these disorders and not rely on our feelings all the time about these disorders. Get as much knowledge as possible before you label someone and spread it all over social media.
