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 couldn’t 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.

Here are a few clues to spotting a narcissist and protecting yourself. First of all be aware of your own feelings and stay grounded in yourself. Don’t let anyone put you on a pedestal, however flattering. Disagree with him, because narcissists can’t handle disagreement. Narcissists are notorious for short-term, very intense relationships. Typically it’s no more than 3 to 6 months before devaluation–yours. So go Slow.
