It seems to be on trend in some online spaces--with bleed into real life--to ascribe personality disorders (notably antisocial/narcissistic/borderline) to, essentially, everyone you dislike. Everyone's ex is a narcissist or has BPD, everyone's parent is a narcissist, etc--basically, anyone who wrongs or hurts you has some underlying personality pathology that also alleviates any nuance from the situation and any responsibility of you personally (or, if you've decided you have a PD, nothing is really your fault, because you have that PD and can't help it). I think there's some degree of meaning-making to it, but also a lot of inappropriate and over-labeling of basic human interactions.
