Perks of growing up with control freak narcissist parents: You learn how to lie well, when necessary.
Downside: CPTSD, fundamental inability to really trust anyone, ever.

Are you using that word as an ableist slur or as a reference to that Greek kid who was killed for being asexual?

…what?
I have literally no idea what you are talking about.
What is the word that you think is either an ableist slur, or a reference to something I have not heard of?

In 1979, a historian named Christopher Lasch, who had no psychiatric credentials, wrote a book arguing that modern American culture was increasing the prevalence of a particular psychiatric disorder in the general population.
The book gained a lot of cultural traction, especially among people who call themselves pop psychologists, but whose actual job is writing scam self-help books. They started using this disorder in their books as a bogeyman. They said people with this disorder are living among us, stealing our energy and resources and making us weak. Basically just a reskinned version of the antisemitic conspiracy theory.
These narratives became so popular that people started using the slur for a person who has the disorder without even knowing they were talking about a disorder. They thought it was just a word for a certain kind of bad person. Like how kids in the 90s used the R word.
You heard that word and didn’t realise it was a slur, and you used it to describe your parents.
The word is “n*rcisisst”
