The Myth of Narcissus
Though there are several versions of the myth, all of them end with Narcissus committing suicide. Let us take the classic version of it as used by the Roman poet, Ovid. In his magnum opus Metamorphoses, he narrates the story of a youth and how he fell in love with his own reflection.

As the version goes, Echo, a talkative mountain nymph, was cursed by Hera, Zeus’s wife, for distracting her and letting Zeus getaway. Due to the curse, Echo could not speak unless someone spoke to her. Even then, she could repeat only the last word of what that person had said. One day, she saw Narcissus and fell in love with him. She followed him through the mountains. When angry Narcissus demanded to know who she was, she revealed her identity to him. However, he rejected her advances. Heartbroken, she vanished into the mountains, following which only her voice was left behind.

The goddess of revenge Nemesis, Aphrodite in some versions, and the goddess of love decided to punish Narcissus. She lured him to a large water body in which he could see his reflection. When Narcissus saw his reflection, he fell in love with it without realizing it is his own reflection. He sat there for hours and hours staring at it. He could not consummate his love and died in frustration.

Even in today’s times, there exist people who truly love themselves. They may not sit staring at their reflection in the mirror (sometimes they do!), but their overall behavior may indicate that they put themselves before others. Some are easy to spot; with their attention-seeking, self-revolving, and decisive personality, they stand out. However, some keep their self-loving traits well hidden. These quivering, shy, and self-doubting creatures put self before others as well.

American psychiatrist James F. Masterson proposed two types of pathological narcissism, i.e., exhibitionist and closet. They are also referred to as overt and covert narcissism. The word ‘overt’ means something that is easily seen, something that is not hidden. On the other hand, the word ‘covert’ means something that is not easy to notice, something that’s secret or hidden. The names itself suggest the personalities that overt and covert narcissists have. Let us find out more about them.
