==== 🧠 On the exchange — What the accusation might reflect ====

When someone says “They are charging you with Narcissism,” likely they mean:
* They think the person is acting self-centered, arrogant or overly self-involved.
* Maybe they feel the person is prioritizing their own “truth” or image in a way that disregards others’ feelings or perspective.

But this kind of label — calling someone a “narcissist” — is often misused. Experts caution that over-using the word dilutes its meaning; not every instance of self-confidence, assertiveness, or disagreement qualifies as narcissism.

So the accusation might be more about subjective discomfort or disagreement than a real clinical or behavioral insight.
