if it was used to describe you, then the person who said it probably thinks you are self-absorbed and you care too much about your appearance.

here's a definition from Wikipedia:

It comes from the Greek mythology Narcissis. Remember - he was in love with himself and it was all about him?! Always lookin g at himself??!! Narcissistic is when you are totally into yourself, to the point you don't even notice those around you who are hurt. It's also a psychological disorder. It's not a good thing to be that by the way.

Buy a gosh darned dictionary. The fact that you couldn't look the word up in a dictionary or at dictionary.com and expect us to do your work for you just proves how narcissistic you are.

self centered is a very good way to describe it. But there is more. These folks usually think that they can do no wrong. All their problems are caused by someone else. They will justify their selfish even abusive behavior anyway possible. Even if it means hurting and blaming the people closest to them.

It means self-absorbed, egotistical.

It comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus, who offended one of the Gods [Athena? Artemis? I don't recall] with his egotism and maltreatment of Echo. The goddess made him fall in love with his reflection in a pond. He eventually wasted away.

There is also a flower called the Narcissus.

You can look up words at dictionary.com I do it all the time. It's someone who really loves who they are and not in a good way.
