The Hidden Truth About Whether Narcissists Regret What They Did to You
Find Out Whether It’s Really Possible for a Narcissist to Be Sorry for What They’ve Done
It can be extremely hard to accept that a narcissist will never feel an ounce of remorse for what they have done to you.
This is one of the main things that makes getting over narcissistic abuse so difficult.
How are you supposed to forgive a person who couldn’t care less about whether or not you made it out of the situation they tried to bury you under?
Don’t get me wrong, forgiveness does not mean reconciliation or that what they did was OK.
It only means that you are no longer going to carry around the pain of what they did to you anymore, you are making the choice to let go of the hurt but not the memory, and start again with a clean slate.
However, it can be very hard to do that when a narcissist is remorseless and maybe even proud of what they did.
The one thing that makes it easier though, is that a narcissist’s empathy is absent not just towards other people, but also to themselves, including their future selves.
This means they can never think about doing something that will benefit their future…
