[NarcSurvivor]

If you’re sick, you may need the proper care and attention. Narcissists lack empathy, so they won’t be concerned. Instead, they will just feel like you’re taking the spotlight away from them. They will see your sickness as an inconvenience.

[sunnydaye]

Nothing lonelier than a relationship with a Narc.

[WestCoastProf]

The narcissist will declare that they have a worse illness. The narcissist will always try to one-up me, even in suffering.

[tinkytinky]

I was 6 months pregnant giving birth to my daughter (I ended up losing her) and my husband said..."Why are you doing this now? I have to work". I died that day.

[christophervan]

In a nutshell:
1. No empathy = no concern.
2. A sick person is of no use to the narcissist.
3. The narcissist detests being inconvenienced.

Virtual hugs to everyone who is dealing with illnesses and narcissists.

I remember when i had an accident and the doctors told me that i can't ever do sport again. I Can only walk or swim. The first reaction of my narcissitic ex husband is : i don't need a disabled wife, even thought i wasn't disabled, but that day i understood what it's like to be alone in a relationship so i agreed to divorce. And now i'm happily married to a wonderful person !

[pennydiebolt]

I was so so sick after giving birth when married to my narcissistic ex... I had passed out in the hallway on my way to crawling to the bathroom. When he walked over me when he got up for work looked back and growled "you're pathetic"
I'll never forget it! After going to the Dr then hospital we found out I was in complete renal failure....he temporarily changed his tune but couldn't hold on to the facade for long. I have since divorced and live with the love of my life.

[melissafreeman]

This is why my husband filed for divorce less than two weeks after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He’s just too selfish. Even my 8yo said “Mom, it’s not fair that Dad left you when you needed him most!”

[gemgirl]

Sick people often get sympathy, compassion and attention. This is a threat for narcissists.

[IgNP]

When I got seriously ill from a serious auto immune disorder, I finally saw the true face of some people on my life. The disdain even a few family members have is shocking.

[daniel]

My narcisist not only does not like sick people but makes the illness get worse

[jonathanbelanger]

They hate when you get sick but as soon as they get sick they think they are entitled to extreme pampering lol

[TheDarkPlace-pt]

Narcissists don’t like it when people get sick yet they don’t realize they were the ones who caused them to be sick. They’re always looking to blame others and never take accountability for their own actions.

[kathybrem]

You are so right!! My husband had zero empathy with each of my cesarean sections. Wanted, you know what, right away when my doctor said a minimum of six weeks! I refused and he was nasty about it. That behavior is exactly how he always behaved!! Lastly, I broke my hip last year and walked around on it for two weeks because he was so ‘helpless’. Even after my doc told me to go to ER, I HAD TO DRIVE MYSELF! Well, he’s gone now and I’m a very happy widow!

[denisebradford]

Years ago I had to have surgery to remove cysts and tumors, which had a chance of being cancerous. No one in my family cared. My dad, a politician, and my mother, had left the country some months before (but still a short plane trip away) and said, during calls, "You're over reacting and worrying too much." I was alone in pre-op surrounded by people with caring families. A reverend stopped in pre-op and comforted me. Luckily, I was not cancerous, but I was told that having children was no longer feasible. Family didn't care.

[roxyndra]

The second someone minimizes your illness, write them off. They will only continue to make your struggles about them. Surround yourself with people who truly care. 💙 I learned this the hard way. Still healing.

[bobbilynnsmith]

It's the lack of empathy that just astonishes and hurts.

[roxanne]

100% accurate. I was able to see who my husband of 17 years was when I became sick. Such a cruel, vile, heartless person.
Divorced him while I was still sick and have been through hell, but I will never look back

100% 😢coming from the hospital after giving birth to our daughter, I went straight to bed because I was exhausted after a traumatic birth. First I changed my newborn's diaper lay down with her and started to breastfeed 🤱 and soon enough I was falling asleep when he said to me: “Useless lazy, get up, the bathroom is smelly. Get up and clean it.” bare in mind I was the hospital for four days so he was the one who got it dirty. That's just one example, I went through so much
