style=\"font-size:18px\">Simply put, a narcissist won\u2019t apologize because of how they see themselves and their relation to other people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">A narcissist generally has a \u2018big head\u2019, and numerous insecurities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">They lack empathy and self-awareness. Self-awareness is the ability to know and understand your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is also the ability to recognize your own emotions, beliefs, strengths, weaknesses and values and how they <strong>IMPACT<\/strong> others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Therefore if a narcissist is not in tune with their inner world, they definitely are not in tune with how they are affecting you or others around them. This makes it easier to understand why they are not empathetic people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">I doubt my ex even knew when he had hurt me or how his actions were so harmful.

They are afraid of being vulnerable and want to maintain control of EVERYTHING.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">We all have some degree of fear when it comes to being vulnerable, but we don&#8217;t all abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">To admit when we are wrong, and then apologize, is a vulnerable act. Vulnerability leaves a portion of our heart exposed. A narcissist sees this situation as a chance to lose control, to look less \u2018put together\u2019 and less superior.
