Will a narcissist ever love you?

Answer 1

"In love" is such an subjective abstract concept, who is to say that my interpretation of the phrase and yours are the same as each other or anyone else's? One could say that, truly, if you think you are "in love," then you are.

They love the concept that they have a girlfriend/spouse etc. They love love. They do not love the person. They love the ideation/prestige/ of being in love only. It's noticable when they speak in 3rd person ie "my girlfriend and I did....", NOT "Susan and I did...." Their love is conceptual.

My N swore I was the love of his life. When I said I loved him too, he would dimiss it by saying, "You're just infatuated with me." It was crazy-making. We couldn't just be two people in love. He had to be "The Lover."

Answer 2

Being self-absored, unempathetic , Narcissists are notorious for lacking the capacity to emotionally bond with others which render them of course uncapable of real love.

I think they r capable to a point of caring what happens to you like physical harm. But only if you don't produce any serious N injury to them. If that happens look out. Because they r unforgiving and they come first. I think this may be because they can only care to a point when they reach that point they pull away. Usually when two non NS love each other we tend to feel more for them than ourselves if they r deserving. Ns could never do this ever. If you unmask them ur injury them emotionally they could care less about you because they come first and foremost. Like a spoiled child. I like u as long as......?, I'll be ur friend as long as,....? otherwise I'll take my toys and go play with the kid down the street. This is the message I got from my ex.

Answer 3

No. They have zero concept of what it means to love another human being.
