Narcissus is a beautiful flower that grows in Germany, I didn't know that. But to have a narcissistic personality is not good at all.
Proud and selfish people are narcissists and they don't have empathy to other people.
I think is a terrible personality disorder that we can see in many "modern people".
It is hard to face narcissists every day !!

I believe that parents who encourage their children to have narcissistic behaviors are damaging the growth them.
In the future these children will have difficulties of relating with friends and family.
