Νάρκισσοι (Narcissism) is a psychological term that describes a personality trait characterized by an excessive focus on oneself, often leading to a lack of empathy for others. People with narcissistic tendencies may seek admiration and validation, believing they are superior to those around them. This behavior can affect personal relationships and social interactions. 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. His obsession ultimately led to his demise, symbolizing the dangers of extreme self-love and vanity. Understanding narcissism can help in recognizing its impact on mental health and relationships.
