You are correct, it is the new buzz word, and it's an easy out for people to excuse their trashy behavior. Don't give it another thought, she's justifying her crappy decisions with her friends, that's it, nothing more to see.
OMG, this old chestnut again. Here’s how it goes:
1. Wife ruins marriage and breaks family 2. Wife goes on Google and confirmation bias brings her to websites where women label their husbands as narcissists 3. Wife decides if so many other women understand it, that must be what’s going on with you 4. Wife also sees a quick solution to her guilt, because if you’re a narcissist, she doesn’t have to own her decisions or behaviour 5. Wife jumps on bandwagon, decides to label you to her friends 6. Friends sympathise with her and tell her how how hard that must have been for her and that she’s brave for standing up to it and divorcing you 7. She floods her Facebook page with BS quotes on pretty backgrounds like “I didn’t know I was abused, but that my own bravery was the only thing that could set me free” type stuff 🤮🤮🤮 8. Friends further validate her with “Brave Mumma Bear” and “You’re an inspiration to me”
9. Terapin sits at home and starts blaming himself for everything.
Some stern reminders: - An incredibly small number of the population are actually narcissists - Narcissism can only be diagnosed by highly trained medical professionals such as psychologists or psychiatrists - if you have the awareness to self reflect, really think about it and come here questioning it, you’re definitely not one - the people most likely to label others as narcissists are much more likely to be one themself.
