About this listen

This episode dispels the myth that narcissists are simply clueless. It explains how many people with strong narcissistic traits retain cognitive awareness—knowing when they hurt others—while lacking the emotional concern that would lead to change.

Learn the difference between cognitive and affective empathy, why awareness often turns into justification or blame-shifting, and how patterns—more than words or apologies—reveal the real truth. Practical clarity on why repeating yourself won’t fix it, and why your boundaries and choices matter more than waiting for them to care.
