    N*rcissist is a slur against people with NPD. It originates in pop culture with self help scams that told people their abusive friends and family had NPD. Also the etymology of the word begins with a Greek guy who was put to death by the gods for being asexual, so yikes.

      Congratulations on having one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen (the one about narcissus).

        16 year old who wouldn’t date or sex anyone. One of his suitors prayed to the gods that he should love what he cannot have. Nemesis curses him to fall in love with his reflection. He starves to death staring at a pond.

        You want to say the child who wouldn’t date anyone is the abuser in that situation and not the asshole who tried to rizz a child and prayed for divine intervention when it didn’t work?

          Actually, by advising you to ‘look up narcissus’ I was giving you a chance to correct your wildly inaccurate claims that narcissm in reference to self-involvement was a “pop culture refence” but instead you went headfirst into a bizarre fantasy argument of your own making.

          What you are doing here? It is not normal.
