Summary

On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, we explore the subtle and not-so-subtle signs that can help you discern if an abuser lacks empathy. Listen in as we break down the signs to watch out for, such as quickness to criticize, being judgmental, intolerance of opinions that don't match the abuser's own, and much more. Unravel the connection between a lack of empathy, how a narcissistic abuser views you as an object, and an abuser's narcissistic injury. Learn how entitlement can drive them to push boundaries and demand your time and attention. We also examine the shame that often drives abusers, leading them to avoid their own feelings and project them onto others.

0:00.0	On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, everyone.
0:35.8	I am Brandon Chadwick. And today we are going to be talking about the signs of a lack of
0:44.3	empathy and we've done an episode before on empathy but today we're going to talk about the
0:49.6	signs of a lack of empathy. But before we get to that, if you want to be a guest on our Survivor

2:04.3	dealing with is important in my mind and it helps a lot with clarity. So when we use the book,
2:11.3	why does he do that? And we use the abuser types. What we're really trying to do is take the points that are there and then apply it to
2:20.7	the abuser in the life of the person who is telling the story, the guest that is on our show.
2:27.7	And from there, we try to figure out what are the best stories to tell and then figure out a timeline for everything.
