| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserve listeners. I got a lot of emails about narcissism. So I thought I would |
| 0:04.5 | answer your questions. I also just now put out a call on discord in the Facebook fan page asking |
| 0:11.6 | people to submit their questions on narcissism. So let's get into it. Listen to Laura from Alabama |
| 0:18.0 | wrote in a while ago and said, can someone who identifies as an empath become a narcissist? |
| 0:24.9 | I have been friends with my closest friend for 15 years. The older we get, the more |
| 0:29.4 | self-absorbed she becomes, the more and the more unwilling she is to admit fault or wrongdoing. |
| 0:35.5 | Yet she is an empath. Can she also be a narcissist? End of email. Well first, let's try to define what |
| 0:43.9 | an empath is. This is a non-clinical construct, meaning that it is not discussed in the literature |
| 0:50.9 | at all as far as I can tell. Only something that is discussed online. And just because it's |
| 0:56.5 | discussed on a website called psychology today or something does not mean that it's a legit |
| 1:01.8 | psychological construct. Now that doesn't mean that it's not a useful construct because there |
| 1:06.5 | are non-clinical constructs that can be useful. But usually what happens in psychology is that |
| 1:13.4 | if in the common culture there is a term that's being used eventually clinicians will start |
| 1:21.1 | doing research on it. They'll start writing dissertations about it and it'll become a clinical |
| 1:27.1 | construct. And the the empath construct has been around for decades and has yet to become in my |
| 1:34.0 | circle a a legit clinical construct. Now that isn't it's fine people use it. But when something |
| 1:42.8 | becomes a legit psychological concept, it's researched, it's defined, it's established as something |
| 1:50.6 | that is that exists in science. So we don't have any confirmation of that and it's really |
| 1:57.9 | born out in the criteria. I just looked at the you know top 10 hits when you look at you know |
| 2:04.3 | MI and empath on Google and I made a list of these criteria. These are the criteria compilation, |
| 2:12.9 | compiled from various different definitions of what it is to be an empath. You absorb you absorb |
| 2:20.0 | others emotions. So that's a pretty common criterion. You feel big feelings often. You feel vibes |
