In mythology, Narcissus was cursed by the gods to fall in love with his own reflection after rejecting Echo. Sigmund Freud was the first to identify narcissism as a mental disorder in 1898. Narcissistic personality disorder can be grandiose or vulnerable. The seven deadly sins of narcissism are shamelessness, magical thinking, arrogance, envy, entitlement, exploitation, and bad boundaries.
