Who's a narcissist?
In the annals of history, long before the advent of the ubiquitous selfie, the ancient Greeks and Romans wove a myth of obsession, revolving around an individual a tad too engrossed in his own reflection. Among the various renditions, the tale of Narcissus stands prominent. This handsome wanderer sought love as he roamed the world, but his rejection of a nymph named Echo led him to glimpse his own visage in a river's surface. Captivated by his reflection, he succumbed to a self-inflicted infatuation that eventually led to his demise by drowning. A flower, the Narcissus, commemorated the site of his passing. The myth, while rooted in antiquity, encapsulates the core concept of narcissism—a heightened and sometimes detrimental preoccupation with the self. Yet, it isn't just a personality quirk dissected in advice columns; it's a psychological construct classified and scrutinized by experts in the field.
