The psychology of narcissism
The psychology of narcissism Long before the advent of the selfie, the ancient Greeks and Romans recounted a myth concerning an individual excessively preoccupied with his own image. According to one version of the tale, Narcissus, a handsome man, roamed the world in search of love. After spurning the advances of a nymph named Echo, he caught sight of his own reflection in a river and became enamored with it. Unable to tear himself away, Narcissus ultimately met his demise by drowning. A flower, known as the Narcissus, now marks the location of his death. The myth encapsulates the fundamental concept of narcissism, which denotes an elevated and sometimes harmful degree of self-involvement. However, narcissism is not merely a personality type that appears in advice columns; it is a set of traits that psychologists have classified and studied. Specifically, the psychological definition of narcissism refers to an inflated, grandiose self-image.

I am in the lowest point of my life
I open my eyes at 1 a.m. just to kick start another worst day. Yes, as terrible as it sounds. I go to sleep at around 5:30 am or 6 am and wake up after midnight and it turned out to be very normal for me these days. This worst habit is the result of consecutive bad habits and a very sick daily routine.

five negative expressions that "highly selfish, entitled" people frequently use.
We're all a little bit selfish just by nature. Finding a "healthy selfishness" balance that enables you to become self-focused rather than self-involved is the actual problem.

The Tangled Web of Truth and Deceit
In the intricate dance of human interaction, the interplay between honesty and deceit weaves a web that often remains hidden beneath the surface. The dichotomy between truth and falsehood, while an inherent part of our daily lives, harbors a complexity that transcends mere words. Engaging in the act of lying triggers a cascade of responses that reverberate through our bodies and minds, painting a vivid portrait of the intertwined nature of our physical and verbal expressions. The palpable effects of deceit, from elevated respiratory and heart rates to beads of sweat forming on our skin and the quiver in our voice, underpin the very foundations of the classic lie-detector (polygraph) test. Strikingly, our capacity to deceive is not uniform, a reality shaped, in part, by the intricacies of our individual brain structures.
