387. The truth about narcissism ...

When did ‘narcissist’ become the go-to explanation for every difficult person - and what do we lose when one word starts covering everything from basic selfishness to genuine psychological harm? In this bonus episode, we break down what psychologists actually mean by narcissism: where the term came from, what it truly means, and how the term has been adopted in our society.  We explore: •        Differences between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and narcissistic traits •        The two main forms of narcissism •        How has the term become overused? •        The dangers of simplifying the term •        Can narcissists ever change? Or is it all pretend?
