  • I’m sorry, I thought you were joking. I wasn’t making fun of him at all, merely adding some support to what protist was saying - there’s a difference between saying someone is narcissistic (exhibiting narcissitic personality traits) and saying someone has NPD, or “grandiose narcissism”. I think a small amount of narcissism is probably necessary for maintaining things like self-esteem. Greek mythology is full of some really messed up stories, I think we can both agree on that at least.







  • Could you elaborate on this please? The only thing I remember about Narcissus is that, when he was born, a seer or something made a prophecy that he would live forever so long as he never knew himself. He had a bunch of suitors, all of whom he spurned, until one day he saw his own reflection in a lake. Being unable to obtain the only thing he has ever loved (himself), he sat by the lake staring until he died.
