The myth of Narcissus constitutes the archetypal root of the character structure of narcissism. Aspects of narcissism run from the healthy developmental narcissism of a child to the toxic narcissism of the psychopath, but all have in common a lack of empathy, whether momentary or chronic.

The Dream:
My ex-wife moves back in together, and then she starts belittling (me) like she used to when we were together, which I don’t like.
