Narcissism.
Mother stayed well, everyone else got treated.
There only one thing that's makes a pathological narcissist. A innate lack of empathy.
Extrovert or even interovert it's the same. No empathy. Born that way.
Thats my experience.
Narcs do need to be worshiped, obeyed. Without empathy and only aware of their own emotions they cannot understand why it's not all about them, anything else is an insult.
Mother sat on her throne. Her voice endlessly heard, a micro controller, a despot. She loved it!

Hmm... I don't know if that's true for all narcissists. I can see why a covert narcissist would develop a "false self", and that somewhat makes sense to me based on what I know about them.
Are all narcissists incapable of empathy, or would that depend on how extreme their narcissism is? I recall reading an article that suggested that narcissists can feel empathy, when prompted to do so.
