    The guy who uses mental health diagnoses as personal attacks? No, I don’t respect him

      Is he really making a personal attack, or just making an accurate observation? Because from what I’ve seen of people with NPD, they’re exactly like that.

        Yes, he’s making a personal attack. He’s not a doctor, he doesn’t know the person he’s attacking, he cannot diagnose. Narcissism alone does not make a personality disorder.

          No, he’s just leaving out the politically correct bs way of speaking because it takes too long to add disclaimers to every thought you have.

          It’s so much easier to say “People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder…”, than it is to say “I’m not a doctor and can’t provide a medical diagnosis, but in my experience, people who typically express traits which are commonly associated with Narcissistic Personality Disorder…”
