This is my first time writing a post (and in an internet forum).
Last year, I found about narcissism through a few videos on YouTube. I was able to come to a conclusion that my parents (and some relatives) were narcissistic. They had shown these traits throughout my childhood.
Since then, I’ve been trying to make a couple of changes in order to help with the situation with my parents (like moving to another room, grey rocking). But it had a few side effects.
I’ve had to sacrifice self-care for a few months in order to remain low-contact. I’ve tried subtly asking them to get self-care products so I cope with most of the things going around at our house (we had a bug/fly problem, and much more).
Nowadays it isn’t much safe and I want to be able to change that. Is there any possible way to still live with the situation (until you’re at an age where you can get a steady income, have some independence)?
Okay, a narc is someone who tattles on you, it usually means someone who gives info to police, but it’s been used for people who “tells on” someone to someone else. It’s pronounced with a hard c, like a k sound “nark.”
Just so you don’t abbreviate narcissism as narc in the future.
Now I want to start calling people "narse"s with no context.
Narsi? Narsee?
Nah (in Australian)
No, I have NPD and we’re called narcs sometimes. It’s often used in the community as a shorthand, but generally if it comes from a neurotypical it’s a slur. I’m aware of the other meaning of the word and I don’t have a problem with it, but I tend not to use it because it just reminds me of the homonym which is actually offensive.
It’s also a common abbreviation for narcissist.
No, it’s not.
Yeah it is. Context could help you figure that out too
