The Story of Narcissus
What are some possible examples of
narcissism in America that you
can think of?
How many followers do I have?
I wonder how many likes this’ll get me…How many people
commented on my post?
Look how many views this has!
I’m only going to post pictures of myself that I look really good in.
How is narcissism sometimes
evident in social media?
Don’t measure your worth by the world’s standards or based on how many “friends”
or “followers” you have on social media.
You are special and important because:
1. You are a son or daughter of God.2. You are loved by a King.
3. You were made for Heaven.4. You are literally worth dying for.
