Number 6. Narcissists are emotionally disconnected from those around them.
This is why narcissists tend to be so heartless. They are not very empathetic people. The insensitivity of narcissists can be traced back to their lack of empathy. Those who are primarily focused on themselves, like narcissists, lack empathy and compassion. Instead, they start early on in life with an unhealthy and excessive focus on themselves. All of their wants are met by their parents, and it seems that this has led to them becoming adults who have little or no concern for the plight of people in their immediate social circles.
It is not your job to fill the void in a narcissist’s development. You must now realize that you were only at peace in a game that nourished their ego and that they would not respond to you emotionally in the same way that a regular person would. The personality qualities of narcissists prevent them from feeling compassion for others. For them to empathize with your situation, would mean putting you above their own needs and desires, which goes against their nature. It may be wiser to give it into the narcissist’s unpleasant personality and demands in order to avoid the narcissist’s rages and coldness, but this isn’t true.
Don’t kid yourself into thinking you be saved by doing that. You must accept the narcissist for who they currently are rather than for who you think they will become. Stop rationalizing harmful behavior and ignoring its negative effects. Denial won’t help because narcissists are notoriously hard to change. The real question is whether or not you can keep up with such a lifestyle without developing narcissistic self-beliefs. Focus on what you need to do. If you educate yourself about narcissistic personality disorder, you’ll be more equipped to recognize and avoid toxic relationships as well as cultivate healthier ones.
