Something about the way he acts always gives me the ick. It feels like a mask.
Absolutely I agree.
Reads like Narcissus being frustrated…
I’ve noticed a lot of those big-in-microblogging folks have figured out what gives viral among their audience and just keep repeating it over and over in different forms.
Why? Hooked on the validation? It doesn’t seem healthy.
Its so sad when you return to a tiktok account you haven’t seen since 2020, and its 4 years of doing the same bit once a week.
I get the feeling he kisses himself on the lips in mirrors a lot.
At least once every couple years, it seems
I don’t understand how this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha or mind blowing realization. Isn’t it obvious to everyone older than 3yo in the entire world?
Now I’m just picturing him kissing himself in the mirror over and over
His excuse in interview is that he recycles certain tweets after follower milestones. He’s popular enough that there’s thousands of new followers who won’t have seen his tweets from years ago.
Yeah… Wouldn’t want anyone to miss out on this banger…
He probably won’t be tweeting it again because when asked to recreate this tweet they moved the mirror and he kissed a bug.
Neil Smokin DeGrasse Tyson forgetting what he’s already posted lol
I like to think that he… ah, what were we talking about again?
He seems like the kinda guy who spends a lot of time trying to kiss his own ass. This is probably just his disappointment after trying.
I’ve never really cared for NDT. Every time I’ve heard him talk or be interviewed it sounds like he thinks he’s the most important guy ever.
NDT wants to explain to you how much he knows, Bill Nye wants to explain the stuff so you know how it works too.
NDT using slurs, huh?
Which word is the slur here?
“N*rcissist”, which should be replaced with “person living with NPD”
Only a narcissist thinks the term narcissist is a slur. Lather rinse repeat of “boomer”.
I wonder how often your behavior causes you to get called that?
This feels to me more like a person-first language preference in this context. NDT likely has NPD- maybe he finds it empowering to use identity-first language
That’s not identity first language. That’s identity only language. Identity first language would be “narcissistic person”, which I’m fine with. But identity only language is dehumanising. If you have autism and I call you an autist, or if you have schizophrenia and I call you a sch*zo, does that feel good?
Fair distinction on the identity-only bit- I didn’t think that through all the way. However, I do refer to myself as an autist, and I know plenty of autists who feel the same (I make it a habit to ask). Similarly, I refer to myself as bipolar and, naturally, as a narcissist. Hell, even “ADHDer” has become a thing, bc people like nouns. There’s no noun version for bipolar yet, but I’ll be using it if it ever becomes a thing.
I don’t think it’s dehumanizing; I think it’s empowering, like taking back the word queer. It absolutely does rub me the wrong way though when someone who doesn’t fit the category does it though
The term narcissist doesn’t just refer to someone with that personality disorder.
If you are a self-centered asshole, you are a narcissist regardless of an NPD diagnosis.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism
Narcissism is a self-centered personality style
Same with calling someone stupid. It doesn’t mean they have a learning disability.
Wikipedia is a tertiary source. Here’s a primary source, which is more reliable:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40107324/
In terms of labeling, participants repeatedly reported that the word “narcissist” has become synonymous with an insult. This reality can make it difficult for patients to accept their diagnosis.
We shouldn’t use words in ways that make neurodivergent people feel awful.
I consider Wikipedia more reliable than vast portions of primary sources. I have seen the awful quality of many papers - “publish or perish” is a thing in science.
And yes, obviously the label “narcissist” is an insult. Just like calling someone “stupid”. When using it as an insult however, it is clearly meant to say this person displays high amounts of narcissism and behaves like a self-centered asshole.
This is different to insults such as “autistic” because that is not a personality style but rather a clinical diagnosis. It would be akin to using the term “disabled” as an insult.
Narcissism is a negative trait if you have too much. That is why it’s an insult. If I say someone is “smelly” I am also insulting their body odor. Doesn’t mean people who struggle with body hygiene for whatever reason should also feel insulted by that.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a clinical diagnosis, just like autism.
They even have the same original meaning. Early psychiatrists thought autistic patients were overly concerned with themselves. That’s why autism is Latin for self-preoccupation.
And if you went around calling selfish people autistic, I’d be very disappointed in you.
When was the last time you felt the calming embrace of grass, my friend?
Earlier today. I was at an Indigenous tour. I learned a lot of local history, spoke to the Rainbow Serpent, and learned how to make soap from a bush. It was great fun, and now I know several new Indigenous words.
Perplexing.
Maybe radical leftists can be outdoorsy people with strong ties to country.
fussing over nomenclature is not a necessary part of being on the radical left.
You mean the other people have to live with a narcissist. The narcissist isn’t the one suffering.
