It must be miserable being a narcissist no matter how much attention they attract. Deep down, they know they lack in so many ways, and this frightening reality fuels their insatiable needs. The desperate moves made to obtain and keep their narcissistic supply burn bridges and ruin relationships, driving them to be on the lookout for the next victim continually. There is no stability, comfort, or love; only masks, lies, and insincerity. No matter how miserable they are, admitting to the farce that is their life is far more painful than merely continuing the game. They are willing to inflict damage on all they come into contact with, sparing none, in a pitiful attempt to maintain their fake persona. There is no repairing a narcissist.
Ah, they don’t even know they are broken in the first place. This environment is filled with this type.

I agree. They will never admit to their flaws but they will see all the flaws in you.

The key is “the game.” It’s all a game to them. And we decent human beings (especially empaths) play right into their hands, no matter how “in control” we think we are. And even when you manage to break free, the game continues, just to know you still care and still have hope for their salvation…
