What "narcissist" means here

You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support. This site uses "narcissist" the way most people do — to describe someone whose patterns leave you feeling manipulated, belittled, gaslit, or never quite good enough. That might be someone with narcissistic personality disorder, or simply someone with deeply self-centered, controlling behavior. Either way, the steps here focus on protecting your wellbeing, not on diagnosing them.
