The misapplication of psychology jargon into everyday vernacular is interesting. Maybe it is just the natural progression of language, but it doesn\u2019t happen with biology or astronomy, people don\u2019t go around misusing \u201ctitration\u201d or \u201cheliocentrism\u201d. It may happen a little with lawyer jargon, \u201cI plead the fifth\u201d, but we all know \u201cdeposition\u201d or \u201csubpoena\u201d is somewhat above our pay grade. Psychology it\u2019s a whole different story. Trauma, narcissism, psychopathy, OCD, antisocial, and practically every single psych diagnosis have made their way into everyday speech and been made applicable for everyday behaviors. Most of the words do not dictate everyday occurrences! Are you sure both your mother, ex, and teacher are all narcissists, because you\u2019d have to be pretty unlucky considering it\u2019s a personality disorder that only affects 5% of the population, but sure, maybe. Are you a schizo \u2018cos you have two opposing thoughts on two different days\u2026 or even the same day, hour, minute. You\u2019re not bi-polar because of your down days or clinically depressed \u2018cos a movie makes you cry! And no you aren\u2019t an empath; of course you felt bad when that person\u2019s dog died! Like yeah, they all just mean you\u2019re a human being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
