In this excerpt, Sami Wunder warns that a lack of empathy is a clear indicator of narcissistic or psychopathic traits. She explains that such individuals dismiss a partner's struggles by labeling them as dramatic, needy, jealous, or insecure. Wunder emphasizes that noticing emotional unavailability and an inability to empathize in a romantic partner is a strong red flag and advises viewers to be vigilant when dating or in a relationship.
Lack of empathy is actually a very telltale sign of narcissists and psychopaths, where you might be going through a hard time, you might be struggling with something, and they'll just make you feel like you're being too dramatic, you're being too needy, you're being too jealous, you're being too insecure. So you really want to notice, whether you're dating or you're in a relationship, when a man has no empathy for your harder situations, your harder moments. Narcissists and psychopaths are incapable of empathizing. So if you notice this quality in somebody and you're dating them, this is a sure shot red flag.
