Narcissism, Appearance, Reality

The original Narcissus takes an appearance to be a reality.  Likewise taking an appearance as reality is Freud's representation of what is actually Species reproductive processes as privately experienced Libido.  So, Freud's concept of 'Narcissism', meaning 'self-absorbed', that is derived from that concept of Libido, is 'Narcissistic' in the original sense, i. e. insofar as it takes an appearance to be a reality, as is anyone who believes that Sex is something that one "has".  Conversely, the original Narcissus is not "Narcissistic" in the Freudian sense, since what he is absorbed in is not in reality himself.
