    “Narcissistic” is an ancient Greek slur for asexuals. Hellenic Greece was a hypersexual society, and they didn’t understand asexuality. They thought the only reason to not have sex was thinking you’re better than others. So they created the slur narcissistic to insult people who wouldn’t date or fuck anyone, based on the asexual character Narcissus.
