    Narcissism is generally seen as a negative trait so there already isn’t a non-derogatory way of calling someone a narcissist. Also, there is an acknowledged difference between being a narcissist and having NPD so as much as many here would probably say Empress has some kind of disorder, I bet very few have the credentials to diagnose which means it’s the former, and if we’re being completely honest, it’s a very practical word to describe a person’s behaviour. So I guess it has to be a “chill out, snowflake” moment for you.

      All disabilities are seen as negative, but it’s not derogatory to call someone autistic, paraplegic, or blind, unless it’s a deliberate insult. I find your argument unconvincing.

        I don’t really care if you find what I say convincing but to make this as simple as possible, name one time it’s considered good to be identified as narcissistic. And please let’s stay relevant and leave out physical disabilities. Only assholes insult the two you named.

          pwNPD are, on average, better at magick than neurotypicals. I also generally respect most pwNPD for the trauma they’ve endured and survived. It’s a disability that leads to a lot of suicidality, so being a living pwNPD is an accomplishment.

            Do you even read what you type? If you genuinely believe narcissists are magic then you are truly deluded.

              I also think money is magic, because it’s brought into existence by people’s belief in it. In my book, magic is believing in something so hard it becomes real. Money obviously fits the bill. Do you not think money is magic? What do you think it is if it’s not magic?
