Narcissists and Psychopaths are definately emotional parasites, and often physical ones, too, living at the expense of others.
They NEVER do ANYTHING out of the kindness of their hearts, since they have no hearts. They may do "good works" as long as they know someone is watching in order to win praise or brownie points for their "kindness," but the phrase "giving to get something" must have been coined with the Narcissist in mind. Some can put on quite convincing dispays of altruism, but that's all it is - display.
A sociopath's interactions with others are exploitive and manipulative. They trust no one because they think that everyone else is like them. They'll milk a friendship or a relationship for every last thing they can get and then move on without a second thought to a fresh victim. There is always some motive behind their actions, although that motive may not be readily apparent to a normal person. Narcissists and psychopaths enjoy inflicting emotional pain, also. It makes them feel superior to their victims and and they enjoy having control over others.
