   The term “narcissism” comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a handsome youth who rejected all suitors and was punished by falling in love with his own reflection in a pool. Unable to break free, he wasted away and became the flower now called the narcissus www.ourmental.health+1. This story became a cultural metaphor for self-absorption and its dangers.19th-century conceptualization
