Narcissism.
At the discretion of PunkMaister, here we go:
Narcissism is the personality trait of egotism, often used as a pejorative, denoting vanity, conceit, egotism or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others.
Destructive: Destructive narcissism describes someone who constantly exhibits numerous and intense characteristics usually associated with the pathological narcissist but having fewer characteristics than pathological narcissism. This can be seen in PunkMaister's request to have all of his threads nullified, therefore nullifying everyone elses posts in those threads.
The word itself in question is derived from Greek mythology, but we're talking about the meaning and understanding here.
Narcissism itself is pertinent to quite a wide range of scenarios and events. However, one thing it is not, is a story. Narcissus was the character involved in that mythological story. The word is merely derived from his name.
