Is Narcissus the pitch perfect depiction of our Modern lives and our exaggerated standards for what love should be? Is everyone just craving the image rather than the true experience ?

I work in a tv production studio walking back and forth with hundreds of narcissists every day, i thought they are mainly motivated by sex and getting off on being petty to anyone they deem less than themselves. They don't have the attention span to stare at their reflection. They are more like Erysichthanon who eats and eats but can't be satiated. Pic rel is what I see whenever I see a narcissist.

No, that's just an interpretation done by feminine inspired societies that ultimately become materialistic.
Narcissus only represents a man that misses his twin brother that died but he didn't really die it's just he didn't know where to look for him.
It's why between Mitra and Varuna, Varun being the one that is associated to rivers and such and after rigveda or something he started becoming associated with the abyss of the oceans.
Ganymede is also associated to rivers, as is Hylas.
It's a mess but that's basically what Narcissus is supposed to truly be about.
It's a shame that his story got co-opted by people who have terrible interpretation skills of the abstract communication.

The interpretation with narcissism is a sufficient answer here.
> No, that's just an interpretation done by feminine inspired...
You really just wanted to argue with your own reflection.

It's not that everyone craves the image over the true experience, it's that, due to the mass proliferation of images in modernity, the true experience is no longer attainable; all that's left to crave is the image, which is increasingly intensifying in an attempt to satisfy the desire for novelty and fill the vacuum where true experience once was.

the world is filled with a higher percentage of narcissists now than ever before, not to mention most for completely no reason at all. I view the rise of social media and the breakdown of community as a cause. Drink a beer? Need to hop on your app and rate it and give your opinion to your 60 followers. Meanwhile without true community none of their narcissism is properly checked, allowing it to fester
Now more than ever, people really truly only care about what's going on in their own life. It's made completely apparent if you go to a wedding or some other large social gathering holding hopes of meeting someone interesting and striking up a good conversation - you will be disappointed most of the time
