You're smart not to give him that compassion. He's not a garden variety narcissist who might sorta respond to that (the ordinary NPDs love the attention); he's a malignant narcissist who is entirely incapable of relating to other human beings in a normal way. They don't have one bloody clue what empathy is, either giving or receiving, but especially not giving any of the stuff. Because they don't have one shred of it within them, and never will.

From hard experience, I know that showing empathy to a malignant narcissist is a very dangerous thing to do. When they're in a collapse from an injury, they see empathy as piling on, which only makes them angrier, snd they react accordingly. Which is not in a pleasant way. I still have hairline fractures in my teeth from showing a malignant narcissist empathy. That's why I know the best recourse when they go off the reservation is either to get away and stay away until they cool off. Or for good, if you have the means to do so.

Or call the cops on them to get them locked up.

They are that dangerous when they go into narcissistic collapse.

I could write a book on these people after dealing with so many of them.
