Righteous Social Media Health Services Narcissist
(noun)
A person (purposeful Buzzkill) who weaponises niche or overly specialised—often out-of-context, incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete—medical information as social currency. They deliver unsolicited, alarmist health warnings to satisfy a narcissistic need for superiority, establishing a moral hierarchy in which they are the enlightened expert and everyone else is an uninformed consumer. The behaviour functions entirely as a performative ego boost, masked as public advocacy.

Jordan: (Lowers hot dog, looks Alex dead in the eye) "Man, shut the fuck up. You’re being a textbook Righteous Social Media Health Services Narcissist. Weaponising and mansplaining unsolicited medical bullshit no one cares about, just to ruin something everyone else is enjoying for a quick ego boost. It's pathetic.”
