With a psychopath, no devaluation is needed since the object has always been entirely separate from them and has little to do with their ego.

It looks from what is written, that since all feelings revolve back to the self, in narcissism, that narcissists by definition cannot be sadistic. Perhaps that is an oversimplification.
Let's say they are into schadenfreude!!
Actually, narcissists tend to be pretty self critical and do have some inner voices, most of the time voices from their parents, which are in fact sadistic to themselves.
It depends on the person, as does everything, but narcissists can definitely be sadistic. I know for a fact that I am fairly sadistic.
t's quite a connundrum for me how a narcissist can want 'some level of intimacy' and yet not care about how anyone else feels. Have I got that right?
