Νάρκισσου (Narcissism) is a psychological concept characterized by an excessive focus on oneself, often leading to a lack of empathy for others. Individuals exhibiting narcissistic traits may have an inflated sense of self-importance and a strong need for admiration. This behavior can manifest in various ways, including arrogance and a preoccupation with fantasies of success or beauty. The term originates from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. This myth highlights the dangers of self-obsession, illustrating how it can lead to isolation and emotional distress. In modern psychology, narcissism is often discussed in relation to Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a condition that can significantly impact relationships and overall well-being.
