Narcissism: Why Labeling People Is a Dangerous Thing – Part 3
Society is fond of labeling people. Ists and phobes abound. Driven largely by the media, these labels relegate individuals and groups of people to the realm of unimportance.

We all have our lights and shadows. Are all the people who have been labeled “narcissists” really narcissists?
