Interesting about the types and varieties of narcissus - video
If we recall the history of Ancient Greece, then at the time of the gods a handsome young man lived in this country, whose name was Narcissus, while he was distinguished by extraordinary coldness.
He constantly admired his own charm and charm, while he was not at all interested in opinions from the outside, because he did not need anyone.
The desire for self-development stems from "narcissistic" desires, that is, it is a tendency to self-aggrandizement and superiority over others.
Sigmund Freud
Narcissism - what is it?
A lot has been said about narcissism. Narcissistic egoists are interesting for their psychology and this is constantly discussed in Runet. What attracts these arrogant and unbearable people? What is it about them that makes you talk about it for many years.It’s a paradox, but such people are attracted to many, however, when they come closer, they begin to understand that an insecure person is hiding behind the glitter of tinsel. Often there are cases when, having once tried to gut his beloved morally, a man “gets a taste” and cannot stop.
So what is it - a mental disorder or a congenital trait? How does narcissism manifest itself, how dangerous is it for others, and are there ways to get rid of it?
But how can culture contribute to the growth of narcissism?
In particular, these are the media that focus on the individual. Social networks also play a significant role. It is these means that push a person to tell "everything about himself."Among other cultural factors that researchers mention is that modern parents encourage children to be unique. Another factor that can cause a child to grow up to be a narcissist is over-concern.
Just look how many overprotective parents are around! Moreover, excessive concern for the younger generation concerns not only kids and schoolchildren, but even students of professional educational institutions - colleges and institutes.
Narcissism becomes a hallmark of those in high-level leadership positions. And if we admire leaders who feel like the center of the universe, we ourselves begin to take an example from them, because it seems to us that people who know their own worth are always one step ahead.
Of course, it could also be that we tend to notice such selfish behavior in other people and are quick to label them as selfish. This creates the feeling that an “epidemic of narcissism” is raging in the world.
What can help?
Whether the “plague of selfishness” is really on the planet or it just seems so to us, there is an antidote to narcissism - it is empathy. Focusing your attention on other people, willingness to understand someone else's life situation, emotions and problems of people around you - that's the cure for this scourge.Despite the emerging feeling that we live in the heyday of narcissism, there are other cultural elements in our society that can be called its “antidote”. Young people are becoming more and more concerned about social problems and injustice. How to stop focusing only on yourself? Turn your eyes to your neighbor and help him. Empathy and concern for others is the key to getting rid of self-centeredness.
Narcissist in relationships
Because of their idiosyncrasies, the narcissist is incapable of sincere intimacy. For him, the partner is perceived as a reflection of his own person.
Of course, he wants to see only the best qualities in his second half. All novels begin with enthusiasm, which quickly turns into disappointment and a desire to change the partner to your liking. Moreover, the narcissist is absolutely not concerned about the mood of his chosen one, the main thing here is his principles. It is for this reason that romances with narcissists are more likely to be unhappy.
Keep in mind that it is not possible for him to relax and just be himself, like a mere mortal.
Such a person will endure the same severe neurotic, for the rest - he is too cold and uncomfortable. Works well with narcissists. In such relationships, the narcissist is calm and confident in interacting with the external environment. And the "schizoid" guards their inner union.
Love for a Narcissist
It has long been known to everyone that narcissists love only themselves. They only care about their own ego and appearance. They strive to surround themselves with such people, against the background of which their mind and beauty will seem perfect. But in fact, according to experts, those people who have too low self-esteem suffer from narcissism. That is why they do not allow themselves to love at full power, lie, shy away from responsibility. Most often they live in isolation, communication with people of a lower level, as they think, is alien to them. But no matter what, everyone wants to be loved, including daffodils.To love a person who is only busy with himself, you need to have a lot of courage, to find in him those qualities that will ultimately be a reason to stay close to him. A person who loves a narcissist must be ready to fully share his interests. But you should not completely indulge his whims. First of all, you need to find a way to increase the self-esteem of the narcissist. Just don't say he's a great artist if he isn't. A person must understand that the world does not revolve around his person, there are smarter and more beautiful people.
Unfortunately, many narcissists have the habits of young children. They are also offended if they are told that “you can’t do this”, they can fall into melancholy if the collar of the shirt is not ironed enough. Such people require constant attention from others, without thinking that their company may be unpleasant or undesirable.
Tactful citizens will be able to delicately point the narcissist to his place, most likely, he will understand that everything has its time and place. But rudeness and rudeness can do a disservice to a proud person: knowing about his exclusivity, he can fall into if he is told that God is much higher.
Another dangerous trait of narcissism is envy. Proud people envy the most insignificant successes of others: a new hairstyle that favorably emphasizes the appearance, an organizer in a modern design, and if his - a narcissist - his career moves more slowly than his colleagues - this causes rabies, which will soon turn into dirty tricks.
The problem of narcissism must be sought in childhood. Perhaps my mother didn’t like it enough, maybe my grandmother praised it too much. To understand such a person, you need to talk with him for a long time. Narcissists are happy to talk about themselves. Those who are nearby and want to stay with them for a long time need to catch the moment at which the “program failed”, the moment when people-narcissists decided to become such. Yes, it was decided due to life circumstances. No one is born a narcissist, it is made by relatives and circumstances.
Of course, a proud person does not always talk only about himself and his abilities. But at every opportunity they emphasize their exclusivity. That is why, we must remain patient, learn to share the views of the narcissist. In any case, such people have many positive qualities that they themselves are not aware of. The task of relatives is to show them all the best that can be in the representatives of such citizens.

If you do not see any particular problems in this, then you should not worry about this "interesting feature" of a man. We are all a bit of a narcissist.Another thing is when a young man is so convinced of his uniqueness, special position and superiority that he goes beyond the limits of permissibility and decency. Absorbed by his successes, inflated opinions about talents and achievements, sometimes he does not see real problems, believing that they should be solved by themselves or "inferior" people.
In most cases, if a girl appreciates and respects herself, the true manifestation of the nature of a narcissist will certainly begin to annoy, of course, if you do not become like the other half. Due to the fact that such individuals themselves will practically not be moved to treatment, considering it to be in the order of things to be proud of their work and conquered heights, you will need a margin of patience.
It is very difficult to convince a “unique” and “significant” person who expects unquestioning obedience from others. Considered a shame and humiliation, the narcissist will never ask for help. Having made a conversation with your favorite flower and convinced that such behavior is not good, you will be able to provide all possible assistance in resolving the issue and exclude problematic moments from the relationship.

Feature and description
Narcissus is a perennial bulbous plant. Its flowers are large, located on the peduncle singly or collected in tassels, with a strong smell, slightly drooping, simple or double. The crown is formed by outgrowths of perianth lobes. It can be in the form of a tube, a bell or a bowl, of different lengths, most often they differ in the color of the box.
The garden flower daffodil belongs to the Amaryllis family. In nature, the flower grows in deciduous forests in the mountains and in wet meadows.
The flower belongs to the group of ephemeroids, i.e. they grow and develop in a short time in spring. Most often, the flowering period occurs at the end of spring, daffodil blooms for 3 weeks. By summer, the ground part of the narcissus dies off, and the bulb remains in the ground. With this, it perfectly tolerates drought and frost.
A flower without leaves, can reach a height of up to half a meter, smooth, round and slightly flattened, sometimes ribbed with a pair of keels on the sides.
The flowers are large or medium in size with a delicate, sometimes pungent smell. The perianth is formed from six petals. The fused outgrowths form a crown of various lengths, diameters and shapes. The crown and perianth may be identical in color or differ. The shape and shade of the crown are the main features of the variety.
The bulbs are perennial. Young plants that have not yet bloomed have one vertex, over time their structure becomes more complicated, it becomes two, and then three vertex.
Bulbs of adult plants are large, round or oval, their shape is determined by the variety of narcissus. Each year, one to three babies are formed in the bulb. Kidney formation is completed mainly in two years. The bulbs have practically no dormant time, because there is a continuous development of two buds of different ages. This makes it possible to influence the flower 2-3 years before flowering.
Varieties of colors and classification
Many varieties and forms of flowers are the result of the hard work of numerous breeders. Breeding activities began in the eighteenth century, and the maximum results have been achieved today. Today, more than twelve thousand varieties of daffodils are known, all of them are listed in various catalogs. All varieties can be divided into twelve classes:
Care and cultivation
Daffodils tolerate shade well, but in sunny places the number of flowers and bulbs is much greater. To get beautiful flowers, you need to know and follow some rules for growing a plant. Here are these simple conditions for good growth and flowering daffodil:
After flowering
After the flowering period, the leaves of faded flowers are not cut off, but are expected to dry. At this time, there is a supply of nutrients in the bulb. What to do with the daffodil next depends on whether they will seat it or leave it until next year in its original place.
If the plant will be planted, then it must be dug up and prepared for transplantation. If the flowers are left in the same area, then after flowering it is necessary to feed them with fertilizers with a high content of potassium and phosphorus.
It is believed that daffodils are very unpretentious plants that do not need shelter for the winter. But it happens that shelter is necessary. If the planting of flowers was completed at the end of September or later, then the plant will not have time to take root and, in case of severe frosts, may die.
It is also advised to cover large-flowered varieties of daffodils - they are most vulnerable to cold weather. As a shelter, a layer of dry foliage about fifteen centimeters thick is used.
Terry varieties of flowers do not tolerate cold. When planting them in the fall, it is necessary to calculate the planting time so that the flowers have time to take root before the onset of the first frost. In winter, they also need to be covered with a layer of fallen leaves. Terry daffodils are very demanding on the composition of the earth. They grow and bloom better on light sandy soils than on heavy ones.
By following these simple rules for growing and caring, you can get beautiful fragrant flowers that can be used both in a bouquet and decorating a summer cottage.
