"Narcissist" is a term that comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who fell in love with his own reflection. It entered English in the early 20th century through psychology, describing a person who is excessively self-absorbed, egotistical, craves admiration, and lacks empathy for others. The term is used in informal, clinical, and analytical contexts, including conversation, media, and psychology, to comment on personality traits or behavior. It is generally derogatory when applied to someone outside a clinical context, intended to criticize or condemn; its offensiveness depends on tone and context.
