If you have met a narcissistic man and are spinning from love gone wrong, read on… The problem of narcissism is not a new one. The story of narcissus is not just an old irrelevant myth. It is the basis of a severe characterological disorder that is devastating to those involved.

The veracity of this dark drama has survived throughout the centuries. Shallow self-adoration (narcissism) is at the root of many serious disorders.

Far from being a simple and benign problem narcissism wreaks havoc, not only in the one who has those traits, but also with all who are unwittingly ensnared in relationship with him. Self obsession leads to death of the self and death of the relationship. We must learn more about the dangers of self love and extreme self-centeredness and their devastating impact if we are going to have healthy relationships. The myth of Narcissus and the truths it warns against must not be ignored today. We must learn what scripture has to say about self-love and the influence it has on our ability to relate effectively in the world. As we begin to be informed and understand more about this problem we can move into seeing the red flags and learning what we can do to make healthier relationship choices.
