Hey, y’all know you can just call someone “self centered” instead of calling them a narcissist, right?? Like, I understand there’s a colloquial meaning for the term, but that doesn’t magically mean you’re not adding to the stigma people with npd have to deal with when you use it that way. If you actually care about ableism against cluster b personality disorders, I suggest you use “self centered” instead.

Same goes for the term “empathy”. I’m begging y’all to just say “compassion” instead. Whether or not you have empathy is not a choice, but whether or not you have compassion is.

A fun word that still has bite and has a more accurate meaning is

Egotistical✨
