Character Analysis: Narcissistic Personality Disorder
The name of Narcissistic Personality Disorder comes from the Legend of Narcissus, which tells the story of a man who sees his own reflection in a pond and falls in love with it. But this man does not fall in love with himself, he falls in love with his false self, which is a mere reflection.
