Lately, it feels like the world is obsessed with diagnosing narcissists, and for good reason. There are a lot of assholes out there. But why this word? Why this diagnosis? Just like "fitspiration" and "situationship" got their 15 minutes of buzzword fame, now it's the narcissist's turn. Except, this one's a mental health diagnosis with slightly bigger implications. Is it OK if we all play armchair psychiatrist and hand out this label at will to anyone who's self-obsessed? And are all individuals with narcissistic traits dangerous and potentially abusive? Is there any hope for singletons (aka, Jenna) to find someone who doesn't think they're god's gift?
Luckily, we found an expert to guide us through these scary times. Psychotherapist Talia Bombola, the Confidence and Assertiveness Specialist (therapywithtalia.com) co-host of The Couple's Guide Podcast and host of Heal Through Humor, and a survivor herself, is so kind as to join us today. She's got the down-low on why this word is having its heyday and the differences between those with narcissistic traits (spoiler alerts: it's all of us!) and those with narcissistic personality disorder. She even gives us (OK, Jenna) some dating advice because eff, it's cray cray out there. (Are the kids still saying that?)
