Why do daffodils represent narcissism?

In English, narcissus is narcissus, the name of a handsome man in ancient Greek mythology. When Narcissus was born, his mother was anxious to know the fate of her son. She ran to ask the prophet to predict her son's fate. The prophet said, "A child can live for a long time as long as he doesn't know himself." The prophet means that Narcissus is so beautiful that he will be addicted to it. The only way to solve this problem is to make him unable to "appreciate himself", so Narcissus's mother tried her best not to let her son see himself, and never let him look in the mirror since he was a child.

When Narcissus grew up, everyone who met him liked it very much. Although he has never seen his face, he knows from other people's reactions that he must be beautiful. The more incomprehensible things are, the more curious people are. This is especially true of Sisyphus, who always wants to know how beautiful he is. He gradually grew into a young man who only cared about himself. Finally, one day, Narcissus saw his reflection by the river in the forest. He thinks he will never get tired of watching it. Since then, he has often taken care of himself alone by the river.

One day, a fairy named Echo met Narcissus in the forest. She immediately fell in love with Narcissus and pursued her wholeheartedly. However, Narcissus has been ignoring her and is extremely cold. This fruitless unrequited love gradually exhausted ECHO's beautiful life. Before she died, Echo prayed to Venus and begged her to punish the cruel boy. Venus blames Echo for not loving herself, punishes her ghost for living in a secluded place on the rock, and repeats the last sound she heard to warn other fairies. That's how the word ECHO comes from in English. In addition, Venus punished Narcissus. One day, Narcissus looked at his beautiful face by the river again. Looking at him, he suddenly had hallucinations and found his shadow in the water turned into a beautiful fairy. Narcissus immediately fell in love with her and talked to her in surprise. The fairy also opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't hear what she was saying. Narcissus stretched out his arms to hug the fairy, but his fingers touched the water and rippled together, and the fairy soon disappeared. From then on, Narcissus stayed by the river day and night, waiting for the fairy to appear again, but he didn't know that he was madly in love with his own shadow. Narcissus poured out his feelings to the fairy in the water again and again. Finally one day, he accidentally fell into the water and drowned, and his soul became a daffodil by the lake.

Because of this myth, there is another term in psychology called "Narcissus Complex", which means "narcissism".
