The Blindness to Love: Why Narcissists Can’t Feel What We Can

Because they cannot feel the injury to

• harmony
• peace
• love
• joy
• loyalty
• faith

because these things don’t exist to them.

If I can feel harmony, the loss of it is palpable. In fact, I use this to detect anti-harmony types.

If I can feel peace, the loss of it is palpable. I would rather be all alone in a room for the next 20 years than spend it with people who like to play ‘poke the bunny’ (but I will need the internet).

If I can feel love, the loss of it is palpable. If I caused it, it will torture me for the rest of my life. That’s why I have to be extremely careful with someone like that. I fear losing their love. The loss of their love is an emotional singularity event for me.

If I can feel joy, the loss of it is palpable. I will start getting depressed.

If I can have someone truly loyal to me, the loss of it is palpable. I might never forgive myself for betraying them.

If I can have someone who has faith in me, the loss of it is palpable. Are you aware how few people who ever lived ever had anyone have faith in them?
