Why Narcissists Can’t Just ‘Feel’ Empathy

Why can’t narcissists just feel empathy? This question comes up constantly — especially in conversations about narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, and relationships with narcissists. And on the surface, the answer people give sounds simple: “They don’t care.” But from the inside of narcissistic patterns, that explanation misses something critical — and actually blocks real change. In this video, I explain: • Why empathy isn’t a choice or a switch you can flip • How narcissistic nervous systems process emotion differently • Why empathy often shows up as anxiety, shutdown, or performance instead of feeling • How people with narcissistic traits learn to imitate empathy without realizing it • What actually happens when empathy begins to awaken — and why it feels overwhelming, not relieving I share a personal story — including an analogy from my childhood — to explain how I spent most of my life faking empathy without knowing that’s what I was doing. This video is not about excusing harm. It’s about understanding the internal mechanics well enough to stop repeating it. Whether you: • identify with narcissistic patterns • are becoming more self-aware • or are in a relationship with someone who struggles with emotional presence this framework will help you understand what’s really happening — and what can (and cannot) be expected over time. 🤝 FREE ONLINE COMMUNITY — AWAKE NARCISSIST I didn’t reach this level of awareness alone.
