NAVIGATING NARCISSISM: FROM MYTHOLOGY TO MENTAL HEALTH

Long before selfies became a daily part of our lives, there existed a tale from ancient times about a man named Narcissus. In this myth, Narcissus was portrayed as a strikingly handsome individual who wandered the world in search of love. However, his journey took a tragic turn when he spurned the affections of a nymph named Echo. Instead, he became enamored with his own reflection, which he caught sight of in a shimmering river. Unable to tear himself away from this mesmerizing image, Narcissus met his demise as he drowned in the waters, consumed by his infatuation. Legend has it that a flower, known as the Narcissus, bloomed at the spot where he perished, immortalizing his story.
