Can a Narc really feel any hurt after a break-up?

After I ended our 8 year relationship with my N. he texted me after 2 days and said that he doesnt think about anything anymore cause it hurts too much when he does. Can that be true?

Think of a toddler...

My little nephew screams&gets upset when an adult leaves the room. Okay... put that in the body of an adult. The ex-Psych prof was stuffing himself with junk food&getting drunk during the final D&D. To an outsider, one would think it was a normal breakup, with both he&I mourning the end. But no... it's more like a toddler acting out when they're not getting attention.

They are human. Yes, they

They are human. Yes, they feel pain. But, their sense of pain...isn't necessarily coming from the loss of us. It's the loss of control. And the overall relationship that they get supply from.

I don't know that its hurt

I don't know that its hurt really. I think its more like anger, frusration and withdrawl symptoms but I don't think true hurt from the loss of love.
