Can I have NPD and be an empath?

"being an empath" as in having high empathy you mean? because being an empath isn't a recognized diagnostic nor does it have a psychiatric definition or construct in the DSM-5. either way, having NPD (or at least traits from it) while experiencing high empathy (cognitive, emotional, or compassionate) is possible and the disorder can show up differently for every person. NPD is diagnosed when a person meets at least 5 out of the 9 criteria. criterion 7 is "lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognise or identify with the feelings and needs of others." but in DSM usage doesn't necessarily mean absolute inability to feel empathy, someone could meet NPD without criterion 7 if they meet other criteria. the DSM-5 alternative model clarifies this more "empathy: impaired ability to recognise or identify with the feelings and needs of others; excessively attuned to reactions of others, but only if perceived as relevant to self; over- or underestimate of own effect on others." so people with NPD can still experience varying levels of empathy, what matters diagnostically is the overall pattern of their personality

also, even with those lacking empathy, there's still a high chance of them having cognitive empathy instead. someone could be extremely emotionally sensitive, describe themselves as an "empath" and still potentially meet the DSM criteria for NPD. but with the emotional attunement turning inconsistent when shame, criticism, rejection, or threat to their status is present. to be honest, as someone who's a communal narcissist, i get gratification through being moral, caring, selfless, and emotional intelligence because claiming to be highly empathetic makes me feel as though i have power over other people's emotions, and get supply through others seeing me as a good person. those who call themselves an empath COULD be using it as a grandiose self label, grandiosity can be disguised as humility, feeling entitled to emotional access in other people, wanting narcissistic supply through being a "caregiver or saviour", wanting immunity from criticism by being "an empath." what i mean is that, while healthy empathy can be present in those with NPD, while genuinely having good intentions, it can have negative impacts because of emotional instability and their narcissism affecting them. feel free to add stuff or correct me

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

[hellhoundzzz]

npd culture is sending "reverse pranks" [positivity posts, cute animals, etc] to your: mutuals, friends, pd ppl, and partner ,, and getting supply from it bcs you're doing a nice thing making the people you care abt happy and that makes you feel good !!!!

[tragic-dog-boy]

“I don’t think our NPD affects me that much” I say while actively giggling to myself about how great I am with every note I get on a post

STPD culture is being completely unable to tell anyone about your paranoia or delusions because the people around you get uncomfortable when you do that so you just sit there silently freaking out until you explode
