"The Roots and Impact of Narcissism: From Ancient Myth to Psychological Trait"
Long before the era of selfies and social media, the myth of Narcissus, a character from ancient Greek and Roman mythology, shed light on the idea of self-obsession. According to the myth, Narcissus, a handsome young man, wandered in search of love. After rejecting a nymph named Echo, he caught sight of his own reflection in a river and fell in love with it. Unable to tear himself away, he ultimately drowned, and a flower, the Narcissus, marked the spot of his death.

Eating Disorders. Content Warning.
Eating disorders are categorized by a pathological means of either restricting food or over indulgence in food that becomes a persistent behavioral pattern. These behaviors tend to have negative emotions and thoughts surrounding food. The cause is still unknown and being debated and researched. In 2006 when I took my first Psychology course the one line that stood out to me is that Psychology is empirical. That means it has to be observed and regarding Psychology, it is ever changing. There has been some studies on the basis of eating disorders that genetics do play a link. This is not very much elaborated on, yet there is a direct correlation when observing twin studies.
