Narcissistic Identification.

In everyday terms, narcissism often means egoism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. In psychology the term is used to describe unhealthy self obsessiveness and self love. The term comes from the myth of Narcissus, who was a hunter who was renowned for his beauty. Narcissus was lead by Nemesis to a pool, where he saw his own reflection and fell in love with it. As he was unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus died. Narcissistic identification is when someone puts theirselves so deeply into a character that they can feel the same emotions and experiences as the character is experiencing and feeling.
