They Feel Empty! Do Narcissists Care That You’re No Longer With Them? 

They feel hollow, don’t they? Do narcissists truly care that you’re no longer by their side? Have you ever wondered what goes through the mind of a narcissist when you walk away? Is there a pang of regret, or does their air of indifference mask the emptiness gnawing at their core? These questions are unsettling for anyone who’s dealt with a narcissist. You gave everything—your time, your love, your energy—only to be discarded, left feeling invisible and unimportant.

But beneath that mask is something far more unsettling. Your absence creates a disturbance in the artificial world they’ve built. It leaves a void, a hollow space they can’t simply ignore.
