In Greek mythology Narcissus was a handsome, proud man who disdained those who loved him. He fell in love with his own beautiful reflection in a pool, and because he couldnt stop looking at it, he starved to death.
Narcissists have a great deal of resistance to change, basically because they cannot see a need for changing perfection. Narcissism is the epitome of insight-free self-centeredness. In the modern world the Narcissistic Personality Disorder represents the extreme end of the continuum of narcissism
Narcissists are often very accomplished, but their inability to empathize with others and to tolerate criticism or setbacks is their downfall. They often have a sense of entitlement and are grandiose in who they think they are. They thrive on admiration and envy from others.
