is vulnerable narcissism a real thing or just another example of meaningless psychbabble?

i was accused of being a narcissist by someone recently, so i decided to actually look into what it was and found that its generally categorised into two types, grandiose and vulnerable. grandiose is essentially what everybody knows a narcissist to be. someone who is egotistical, boisterous, full of themselves etc. but the idea of a "vulnerable narcissist" just seems to me like a collection of loosely defined traits that could really be applied to anyone who is outwardly meek, sensitive and dissatisfied with their current situation. sure, i found a lot of the characteristics could be applied to me, but that same diagnostic method of "bro i literally act like that" could be applied to every other loosely defined "disorder", which is why self diagnosis of rare mental diseases is so common among people who dont actually suffer from it. it also seems to me that the behavioural and cognitive patterns of "vulnerable" and grandiose narcissists are so distinct from one another that they shouldn't even be grouped under the same narcissist label. curious to hear what robots think thoughever

Nuh

are you a piece of shit nigger that actively lowers quality of life in neighbourhoods you could never dream of living in for 2 dollars + minimum wage on a 40% tax rate before you get your money?

It's just bullshit jew lingo. Narcissist, abuser, toxic, problematic, uncomfortable, etc; its just words that get thrown around.

yeah it's a real thing. you're right that a lot of people overidentify with it tho, since it overlaps with just being depressed or insecure. the "narcissist" label gets thrown around way too easy

>>82955950
no, i am not any of those things

yeah ive noticed this too. many normies have adopted a lot of psycholojew phrases and use them to describe pretty innocuous things for some reason

vulnerable narcissism is real, my mother is a vulnerable narcissist, you probably don't have it if you're introspecting enough to ask these questions, unless you believe that the only reasons you can't succeed are external to you and you could've been great but simply missed your opportunity + some other stuff like how you argue and how you process challenges to your self-worth and/or values. The inability to admit fault is a huge one, if you find yourself arguing things that everyone else agrees you're wrong on, especially if you feel that what they're arguing is so egregious that you permiss yourself to use tactics that most wouldn't resort to, most commonly blitzing (saying a bunch of stuff at once without giving a chance to respond), shaming, and leveraging social or environmental pressures then you're probably one. If the above doesn't apply to you you likely have nothing to worry about, in fact accusing people of narcissism is often a sign of narcissistic tendencies ironically enough.

I've also been accused of being a narcassist by actual narcassist.l I don't take them too seriously it's crazy how these ego maniacs will put their lable on you while you got a gun to your head wanting to blow your brains out. I hope hell exist and they burn for eternity for being the biggest pieces of shits out there.

narcissists call other people narcissists to throw shade
