“Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it.” Steve Maraboli
There is a trend building for the last couple of years involving labeling people as narcissists. There is a hypocritical fad for calling other people toxic. The funny thing is that the person doing the calling is often practicing what is called "neurotic projection." That is, they are seeing undesirable elements of themselves and reflecting them on to the person they are angry at. Call someone narcissist or toxic and include a list of what that entails - and...drum roll, you've just accused them of the very judgmentalism and conceit that you are proclaiming to stand against.
A great little piece I found on the topic:
