Narcissism

From Encyc

Narcissism is a common term for the trait where an individual obsesses over themselves and believes them to be the centre of the universe. Narcissists tend to be intensely introspective and have massive ego problems. Extreme narcissism is considered a psychiatric disorder and has it's own DSM diagnostic code.

The term originates from the Greek legend of Narcissus where a man was condemned by the Gods to fall in love with his own reflection, to his detriment.
