Word of the Day

In light of recent events and my previous post, I chose narcissism for my word of the day.

Narcissism (noun)
  1. Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See synonyms at conceit.
  2. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
  3. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.
And this is my personal favorite definition...
4. A regarding of oneself with undue favor.

So please, stop loving yourself so much. Be nice so other people will do it for you.
