The son of a nymph and a river-god, Narcissus was a sight for sore eyes. With long locks like an ancient Greek Timothée Chalamet and soft features like Harry Styles, he was so attractive, as the myth goes, that he couldn't look away from his own reflection, withered away and died.
These days, it seems we all know a modern-day Narcissus, and people are throwing around the term narcissist, rooted in the Greek myth, to label this kind of self-centered behavior all over the internet. Spend five minutes on TikTok, and you'll probably come across at least one video about narcissistic parents or how to spot narcissism in romantic partners.
