Gollum grew up in total isolation. He never even looked in a mirror. When he found the ring, he instantly fell in love with the reflection of his face (not realizing it was his own). One day he was walking by the lake, and he saw the whole reflection of himself. Thinking it was drowning, he dove after it, but couldn't save it. Realizing that had lost his true love (his reflection), he stole away into a dark cave. He kept the ring because it reminded him of his reflection, and his true love, and forever after called it "My Preciouss".
