Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

Do Narcissists know they're hurting you?


Listen Later

They know enough to hide it from others, but do they actually know what they're doing?

In this powerful episode, I dive deep into a question almost every survivor of narcissistic abuse asks: Do narcissists actually know they’re hurting you? Or are they just so emotionally disconnected that they genuinely believe they’re blameless?

Drawing on my years of experience as a trauma-informed counsellor and Director of  Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling Service, I break down:

✅ The emotional awareness of narcissists (yes, they see your pain)
✅ Why their selective empathy is strategically turned off
✅ How they often weaponise your emotional reactions to make you the villain
✅ The key difference between malignant narcissists and emotionally immature people
✅ What this all means for your healing, boundaries, and freedom

A narcissist doesn’t need to feel what you feel—they just need to know what hurts you to use it to their advantage 

You’ll leave this episode with clarity, validation, and the tools to stop seeking remorse from someone incapable of offering it.
