When real psychological conditions are applied to people without those conditions because of pop-culture-misappropriation, bad things happen.
Case in point: the terms "narcissist," and "depressed."
These terms are real, valid, and define actual psychological conditions. However, they are being blatantly misapplied at an alarming rate, and causing an increase in ACTUAL psychological conditions.
I'm going to tell what these things are AND aren't, and what the misapplication is doing to our culture.
My hope is this will help you see yourself in the right light and keep from that downward spiral of self-hatred, low self-esteem, and poor self-concept.
