You mean theseistic. Narcissism is self-destructive self-love. Theseism is abusive hubris and vanity.
See, Narcissus was a 16 year old kid who wanted to stay unmarried and go hunting alone in the woods. But everyone else wanted to marry him. Ameinias sexually harassed him, and Narcissus told him to fuck off and kys. Nemesis didn't like that, so she made Narcissus fall in love with his reflection and die. So narcissism is the kind of self-love that hurts you and gets you killed.
Theseus was a famous "hero" who slew the minotaur with the help of a woman who loved him, then abandoned her on a random island and left her for dead. Then he kidnapped 12 year old Helen of Troy with the plan to force her to marry him, so that he would be even more famous for marrying a daughter of Zeus. So theseism is the kind of hubris that makes you abuse others for personal gain.
