'''Narcissism''' is the [[love]] of one's self, to the point that the person cannot love anything else.

'''Narcissism''' is excessive [[love]] of oneself.  The word is based on the [[Greek]] myth of [[Narcissus]], who resisted the advances of a nymph and was consequently made to fall in love with his own reflection.  In psychology, extreme narcissism is a symptom of [[Narcissistic personality disorder]], in which a person overestimates his own abilities and attractiveness, at the expense of concern for the needs and feelings of others.  However, it has been argued that a moderate amount of narcissism is healthy.<ref>Morrison, A.
