Do you think narcissists pretend or really believe they are empaths and kind and caring?

Narcissists don't have empathy because they think they are the centre of the world and everyone exists to facilitate their selfish desires. I know a couple of them and they are the same. They loathe being questioned about their behaviour (as if nobody has that right). They are toxic, often dangerous. They ruin lives and either don't see that or don't care. Nobody else matters to them. They are owed everything.
