Excessive narcissism is a plague of the modern world. Social media addiction, the pursuit of likes, and the culture of selfies is among the major drivers of the rise of narcissism.
Freud said that narcissism is, to some extent, an inherent feature. In early development, narcissism is an acceptable, even natural phenomenon — without it, healthy sexual development cannot occur. In adults, however, it tends toward self-absorption — finding pleasure by projecting sexual desire onto oneself.
