Calling Someone a Narcissist? What You’re Missing | Epi 157

In this first clip of my conversation with Mark Ruffalo, we start with a deceptively simple question—why does “narcissist” now get used to describe almost everything, and what gets lost when a clinical term becomes part of everyday moral language? From there, we move beneath the surface into what this overuse might actually be doing psychologically, including how processes like splitting and projection can shape the way people quickly organize others as “narcissistic” when emotional complexity feels hard to hold. We then shift into the consulting room itself—what narcissistic personality organization actually looks like in real time.
