Abstract

The term, Narcissism derives from the tragic story of the
Greek Folklore, about a young man, named, Narcissus. He
fell in love with his own appearance, which he saw in a
pool of water and started getting infatuated by it to the
point that he eventually died, looking at it continuously
for weeks and months.
