CMV: Most of the times that people describe someone they disagree with as a "narcissist" or "lacking empathy", it's not even remotely accurate and it's cause they can't accept the fact that other people just disagree with them.

Example.

Person1: I agree with anti-homeless benches. The less homeless people in this area the better.

Person2: You are such a narcissist! I can't believe you're so lacking in empathy!

&#x200B;

Let's assume for a moment that Person1 isn't a sociopathic serial killer and has a more realistic motivation. Let's say that Person1 thinks that homeless people are generally a detriment to the safety of a given area, and that the safety of the general population is more important than the comfort of homeless people.

&#x200B;

Is Person1 lacking in empathy? Is this thinking narcissistic?

Obviously not. Person1 is just empathizing with a different group that Person2.

&#x200B;

However, Person2 likely BELIEVES in the validity of their statement. Despite the factual inaccuracy.

&#x200B;

Since I see this sort of scenario play out hundreds if not 1000s of times a day on Reddit, this is why I believe in the validity of MY OWN statement.

&#x200B;

People call each other names because they can't accept the fact that other people just disagree with them.

&#x200B;

Change my mind.

Clarifying question about your example:

Would you agree that Person 1 lacks sufficient empathy *for the homeless people*? 

Would you also agree that is almost certainly what Person 2 means by their statement about empathy?

I'd agree that's an inaccurate use of "narcissist" without additional information not in evidence.
