A quick question

Allright,i am posting this question on my blog for two reasons-firstly an offhanded search in the internet didnt yield satisfactory results and more importantly i wanted to see what you guys had to say about it.One request though-dont go about perusing medical journals for the answer to this.I dont want a medical term for an answer.All right enough said,here goes-
Narcissism-people are called narcissistic when they show a certain degree of self love,allways admiring their pose in the mirror,sort of like Reggie in the Archie comics.But what word would you use to describe someone who cant stop himself /herself from looking at the mirror allways thinking inwardly-"Boy,i can believe how kickass ugly i am.I am so ugly,the word itself will commit suicide in order to avoid being associated with me."Mind you, this is not a mere display of underconfidence,lets imagine the person with this condition is quite confortable in where he/she is in life but just happens to believe that he/she is extremely ugly and/or undertalented and/or mediocre.Calling this the ugly duckling syndrome will be the easiest but i expect you to be more imaginative.Interestingly,the antonym of narcissism in the dictionary is humility.Whosoever reads this post,please do post your thoughts on this.I will await each of your unique input.
