lovelies, since we are dealing with some really messy messy bitches in ofts, i just want to remind everyone that english is a rich language with a variety of adjectives to describe people, and the usage of words which actually describe already incredibly stigmatised mental health issues is truly not necessary. sociopathic, psychopathic, narcissistic, psychotic, etc. truly just don't mean what you are trying to convey. usually simply googling the word followed by "synonyms" should give you a variety of more fitting descriptors.
#i know narcissistic is used coloquially a lot but i swear to gods you just mean self-centered / egotistical / selfish / self-absorbed etc.#also yes i know what the word 'synonym' means but 1) there are no words that are actually 100% the same in meaning#and 2) people have been using descriptors of mental illnesses or their symptoms like this for a while - that's precisely the problem#which we are hopefully all trying to mend at least a little!!!#only friends the series#ofts#archer speaks
