    refer to mentally disabled people,

    Since when is narcissistic or narcissist used to refer to mentally disabled people?

      Well, when it's used to refer to people with narcissistic personality disorder, which happens to be most of the time

        Ludicrous. Having narcissistic personality disorder is not a mental disability by any reasonable definition of the term. Furthermore, one can have narcissistic personality traits without having the disorder in full. If I'm calling someone a narcissist or narcissistic, I'm not presuming to actually diagnose them with NPD.

        isn't narcissism a pattern of behavior and belief? Doesn't really seem like it belongs in the same category as mental disabilities.
