Although narcissists may never admit it, they do harbor regrets they can’t fully escape—especially a pervasive sadness and disappointment that increases with age. Narcissists are often miserable, and this misery stems from a lifetime of unmet satisfaction with others and themselves. Being a narcissist comes with its own burden, and one of their biggest afflictions is perpetual discontent.
In the end, many narcissists leave this life unfulfilled, unhappy, and fearful. They may regret not achieving the control they desired, but they don’t regret the harm they caused. Instead, they regret not being able to break or control others completely. They might even regret that they couldn’t be immortal or eternally powerful. Narcissists want everything, and their entitlement drives them to crave the impossible, regardless of how undeserving they are.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while narcissists may not openly admit it, they do have regrets. They regret not finding happiness or achieving absolute control, which, in their minds, equates to happiness. Yet, in their pursuit of this happiness, they do not regret the people they’ve hurt along the way.
