Are you misusing the term "narcissist" without even realizing it? I know I have. In this video, I share my raw, unfiltered reflections on how casually throwing around labels like "narcissist" impacted my relationships, my self-awareness, and my journey toward understanding others with more empathy. It’s not just about pinpointing mistakes; it’s about learning from them and discovering strength through love, patience, and growth.

Labels can feel validating, but are they helping us heal or holding us back? Let’s explore this together as I unpack my personal experiences, moments of discomfort, and the lessons I’ve gained along the way. Growth isn’t perfect, and neither am I—but that’s what makes this journey so real.

Join me in navigating these conversations around #selfimprovement, #mentalhealth, and #embracingchange. Like, comment, and subscribe to be part of the conversation—we’re all in this together. Let’s learn from each other and keep building a space where vulnerability leads to transformation.
