Empathy and Narcissism: can narcissists truly empathize, or is it just a facade?

Narcissists often present themselves as charming, charismatic, and empathetic, but is this genuine or just a mask to manipulate others? Research suggests that narcissists can mimic empathy but struggle with genuine emotional understanding.

Here are some points to explore in your article:

- Narcissists may use "emotional intelligence" to appear empathetic, but it's often superficial.

- They might be skilled at reading social cues and mirroring emotions, but this doesn't necessarily mean they truly understand or care about others' feelings.

- Narcissists often prioritize their own emotional needs over others, leading to emotional exploitation and manipulation.

- While some narcissists may have moments of genuine empathy, it's usually short-lived and self-serving.

- Treatment and therapy can help narcissists develop more authentic empathy, but it requires a willingness to confront and change their behaviour.
