Way before the first selfie, the ancient Greeks and Romans had a myth about someone a little too obsessed with his own image.

In one telling, Narcissus was a handsome guy wandering the world in search of someone to love.

After rejecting a nymph named Echo, he caught a glimpse of his own reflection in a river, and fell in love with it.

Unable to tear himself away, Narcissus drowned.

A flower marked the spot where he died, and we call that flower the Narcissus.

The myth captures the basic idea of narcissism, elevated and sometimes detrimental self-involvement.

But it's not just a personality type that shows up in advice columns.

It's actually a set of traits classified and studied by psychologists.
