In this article, we will talk about an interesting topic: narcissism. Narcissism, translated from Greek, was originally the name of a beautiful boy in ancient Greek mythology, legend has it that after he saw his beautiful reflection in the lake, he fell in love with himself, and since then he has not thought about tea and food, and died of emaciation.
Narcissistic people have the following characteristics: exaggerated ego; Overweening; Addicted to praise, when others don't praise them, they praise themselves. Narcissistic people have an irrational sense of power, and they expect special favors, or unconditional submission to their desires by others. If his wish is not fulfilled, he will get angry. Narcissistic people are relationally exploitative, they will only take and have no ability to give.
In real life, on the one hand, we must get rid of self-centered narcissism, and on the other hand, we must also recognize and cherish our own value and learn self-love. Narcissism and self-love, some people often can't tell the difference. For example, sometimes we behave inappropriately, but we are unwilling to admit it, let alone learn from it to correct or make amends, which is narcissism. But if we make mistakes, admit our mistakes, and blame ourselves when necessary, but we will not completely deny our own value, but understand: everyone is not perfect, accept their own shortcomings, but also cherish their own advantages, and be able to reflect and progress all the time, this is self-love. There are many factors that determine self-love, for example, when we are young, we can feel the care, love and cherishment of our parents, and deep down we will feel that we are valuable and worth cherishing. If your parents don't get it here, when you grow up, you can get the affirmation of others and your ability. If you don't have any, but you are rewarded through your own efforts, and becoming good will also bring psychological self-love, self-esteem, and self-confidence. If you can continue to grow on the basis of the above, become self-conscious, and start not to rely on the affirmation of others, but to think from the bottom of your heart that you have more important things to do, and believe that you can do it, then you will enter a higher level of self-love.
