Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism -Sigmeund Freud-
Behinde the word NARCISSIST
The name "narcissism" is derived from Greek mythology.
Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who, had never seen his reflection, but because of a prediction by an Oracle, looked in a pool of water and saw his reflection for the first time.
The nymph Echo who had been punished by Hera for gossiping and cursed to forever have the last word.
She had seen Narcissus walking through the forest and wanted to talk to him, but because of her curse she wasn't able to speak first.
As Narcissus was walking along he got thirsty and stopped to take a drink, it was then he saw his reflection for the first time, not knowing any better he started talking to it.
Echo, who had been following him then started repeating the last thing he said back, not knowing about reflections Narcissus thought his reflection was speaking to him.
Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away at the pool and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus.
