Etymology

The term 'narcissist' comes from Greek mythology, where Narcissus was a hunter known for his beauty. He was proud and disdained those who loved him. One day, he saw his own reflection in a pool of water and fell in love with it. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, he eventually died. The concept of narcissism has evolved to refer to excessive self-admiration and selfishness.
