Clearly there are people who cause harm. That is not what I'm reacting to.

I'm pushing against the ideas that:

1. This is somehow "self-directed" (which again makes no sense in the context of acknowledging childhood trauma)

2. Every manifestation of this trait leads to great harm (leaving no room for a spectrum or treatment/management)

3. We should "identify and isolate" people with this trait

What does 3 even entail in your mind? How would this play out practically speaking?

If you’re not actively working on stopping narcissistic behavior - even if it is your instinct - you are actively continuing to choose narcissistic behavior

#2 is unequivocally true - it also doesn’t matter if it’s a spectrum - neither negligent manslaughter nor mass murder are acceptable

There is no quarter for that behavior
