Listen "Empathy, Narcissism, and Emotional Intelligence"
Episode Synopsis
These sources discuss narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), particularly focusing on the intricate relationship between narcissism and empathy. They explain that individuals with NPD often exhibit a deficit in emotional empathy but may possess intact cognitive empathy, which can be used for manipulative purposes. The articles also explore the two main presentations of narcissism, grandiose and vulnerable, and how they can manifest differently in terms of interpersonal functioning and empathy. Furthermore, the texts highlight the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ) as distinct from intellectual intelligence (IQ), emphasizing EQ's role in relationship building and overall well-being, and suggest that improving EQ, perhaps through strategies like mindfulness, can benefit individuals. Finally, the sources touch upon therapeutic approaches for NPD, acknowledging the challenges but suggesting that focusing on self-reflection and specific skills can be beneficial.
