A narcissist takes and takes and feels entitled that others must suffer for their gain. That is not love. That is selfishness. When you're really with someone who loves you, their happiness is your happiness. Narcissists are not happy when someone else is happy, if it means they must deny their needs. This is why narcissists make terrible mothers. They cannot "love" a baby who cannot do anything for them.
