A UK-based psychotherapist has garnered millions of views on TikTok by breaking down the subtle signs of narcissism in everyday life. The goal is to help viewers distinguish between ordinary selfishness and a deeper pattern that may affect relationships. The video’s insights are now discussed in Thai contexts where social media habits shape how people understand mental health, personality disorders, and their real-world impact.

In Thailand, conversations about mental health are increasingly shape-shifting from clinical texts to popular hashtags. Terms like narcissism, gaslighting, and ghosting circulate online, sometimes losing accuracy.

Yet in daily life, signs can be nuanced and overlap with other behaviors. Research highlights the danger of oversimplified labels and the importance of professional evaluation.
