Empathy vs. Entitlement

The hallmark traits of those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Sociopaths are they lack empathy for others and feel entitled. Empathy is the desire to understand emotions of someone else, to respond to that person and then be self reflective. How will this person feel if I say or do that? An entitled person believes they deserve special treatment and are arrogant about it. Obvious examples are when abusers are in restaurants and they are rude to wait staff or they are a guest in someone’s home and expect special meals. They see themselves as superior over others so they make unreasonable demands on you , expecting you to put everything aside to meet their needs. They will not be satisfied no matter how hard you try because they lack empathy by dismissing your feelings and needs. See this short video on 6 Signs of A Toxic Person In Your Life.
