And to that extent it probably is a fairly accurate description of their perception of the person - or at least, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt about that. Because I wouldn't take it as a literal psych evaluation of the person unless otherwise stated. 'Narc' and 'toxic' are basically general terms. But people can quite easily slap a label on others using those terms too, if they're say hurt or upset with someone. It happens. That's what I see on the internet.

Yes. I believe that the terms narc and toxic have become so overused, though, that they've lost meaning. What's it called....we've become desensitized to those words.
