6 Reasons It’s Easy to Be Fooled by a Narcissist
According to Wikipedia, narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one’s own attributes. The term originated from Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. So why is it easy to fall for a narcissist?
