WHO IS A NACISSIST?
The concept of narcissism dates back to ancient Greek and Roman mythology, where the story of Narcissus, a man obsessed with his own image, was told. Narcissus, after rejecting a nymph named Echo, fell in love with his own reflection in a river and drowned. The flower that marked the spot of his death is now known as the Narcissus. While the myth captures the essence of narcissism, it is not merely a personality type found in advice columns. Psychologists have classified and studied narcissism as a set of traits. Narcissists have an inflated, grandiose self-image and believe they are better looking, smarter, and more important than others, deserving of special treatment.
