The psychology of narcissism
The psychology of narcissism Long before the advent of the selfie, the ancient Greeks and Romans recounted a myth concerning an individual excessively preoccupied with his own image. According to one version of the tale, Narcissus, a handsome man, roamed the world in search of love. After spurning the advances of a nymph named Echo, he caught sight of his own reflection in a river and became enamored with it. Unable to tear himself away, Narcissus ultimately met his demise by drowning. A flower, known as the Narcissus, now marks the location of his death. The myth encapsulates the fundamental concept of narcissism, which denotes an elevated and sometimes harmful degree of self-involvement. However, narcissism is not merely a personality type that appears in advice columns; it is a set of traits that psychologists have classified and studied. Specifically, the psychological definition of narcissism refers to an inflated, grandiose self-image.
