But there are real people who live with this disorder. They have families. They work. They may be your doctor. They may be the person you meet at the grocery store. They may be your neighbor. They may be your partner.

There are people who live with this disorder. And I would say that there's a good chance that most narcissists that are out there have not been clinically diagnosed. So they might not know.

And so what I would encourage community to do is if you do have any curiosity about somebody and if you have a relationship with them that's healthy, make a suggestion that they should go ahead and see a mental health provider.

It might start a conflict that you don't need in your life. But I do think that's healthy to do. Please, please, please, please stay away from diagnosing people that you know. We do this very well.

Name calling it narcissism is one of those big ones. Bipolar is another one that comes up a lot. Don't do that because what can happen is a couple of things. One, you can just bring drama and conflict to your life that you don't need. Two, the individual that you're referring to may start going on what we call one of those self-diagnosis kind of rabbit holes where they're on, you know, they're on.

They're on MedEd, they're on the internet, they're Googling things and they start to really believe that they have these things without professionally getting assessed. So you want to make sure that you're not influencing someone self-diagnosing themselves. And then I would say if you're an individual who has a Curiosity that you may be narcissists.

It's something that you can live with and have a healthy life, but you're going to need some tools and some skills to just navigate the world around you. I think, like I said, I started off our conversation saying that, hey, narcissism can have some positive spins, but you got to do a lot of work. Otherwise, you're going to find yourself being pretty socially isolated.

I would also say that we haven't talked about this, but there may be some cultural ethnic cultural factors as well that play a huge role in how we identify narcissists.
