Right now, we actually have a huge issue with psychology language being conflated with emotional intelligence or sensitivity. We really value the ability to identify and communicate our emotions, good, but that isn’t necessarily the same thing as willingness to process or manage them. When I run into someone who’s really up on terms for neuroses and disorders to the point that they see it everywhere, I can safely assume that they think they have a better handle on themselves than what they do.
Yeah this is a good thing to point out too. People will naturalise any harmful behaviour as a disorder which ends up blurring both that disorder and people’s responsibility to address their harmful behaviour.

“I’m doing the work”, “have you done the work” gets under my skin for some reason.

Omg… That’s what a narcissist would say tho!
