Dr. Courtney, This is so helpful in putting the pieces together for my family. My 23andme genetic test reflects low empathy in my genes. I have worked hard over the decades to learn empathy from friends as there was little to none growing up. Thanks again for explaining how these puzzle pieces fit together.
We all have healthy narcissistic needs. Attention and validation. But its a problem when someone creates an entire identity with the sole purpose of acquiring attention and validation through inauthentic means.
Hi John. Yes. I agree. Today I heard someone say authenticity is the "highest vibration." I'm not sure if that can be measured, but I do think our unconscious mind /body sense when someone is authentic and when someone sadly doesn't have access to that way of being. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you, Jean, for letting me know that. I'm so glad you found this helpful . It sounds like you've found some very meaningful friendships.

Many of us get forced into inauthentic ways of being as kids.
