If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

View all responses

Narcissist.

First of all, you can hardly even spell the word without using spell check several times. 🙄

Secondly, I would ban the word narcissist because it seems like most of the people using the word to describe others actually end up describing themselves and they don’t realize it.

I am sure that all of us, including myself, have a tendency to favor our own thoughts, opinions, and wants over those of others from time to time, which I feel is a normal part of just being a human being.

However, the only people I have seen running around screaming that other people are narcissists are the actual narcissists themselves. 😶

I would like to request that the word not be allowed to  be used anymore because it’s everywhere, oversaturated, and hard to even spell in the first place. 

The overuse of the word  leads my INTJ mind into a whole other set of questions like:

If this word is being used everywhere and mostly by the narcissist themselves – how many narcissists are really out there?

Am I a narcissist for using the word myself?

Why is there so much research done on narcissism but nothing ever seems to change?

The word itself is exhausting and causes problems – in so many ways.

And that is why I wholeheartedly nominate this word for immediate deletion. 🫡

Thank You.

P.S. – Please forgive me if the word is spelled incorrectly throughout this post – You already know why. 🙄
