Words: Ego-Edition

Some egotistic-centric words that have been floating around in my head recently whose definitions are unclear to me. So now ... The difference between Narcissism, Nepotism and Solipsism. Until now ... completely unknown (... to me).

Narcissism: excessive or erotic interest in oneself or one's physical appearance. Got that in spades. Come to think of it i do slightly remember this name somehow relating to Greek mythology. Ah, yes. Well ... Internet: 1; High School Education: 0.

Nepotism: the practice among those with power or interest of giving favor to relatives or friends esp. by giving them jobs. i guess this one doesn't really belong on here ... but good to know!

Solipsism: the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist. I'd believe it.

Up next ... something more useful (... hopefully).
