If someone has very high vanity, is it likely then they will have low empathy?

Say an average across these people.

Both are associated with narcissism, so yes.

Yep

I think the problem with working in absolutes is that you are going to be wrong.

My mum likes animals more so than humans even though she had so many children.

Arts said:

Yes quite possible

I know there is a lot of variation, 80 emotions +and each one has a range particular to that person, emotions can overlap, people can experience more than one

Yes its good to be cautious about such thinking

Not everybody has high vanity, I have come across two people who have high vanity and low empathy.

There could be people with high vanity and normal empathy.

People can change over time.

High vanity may also be a cover for actual low self esteem and the need to big note oneself all the time for simply existing

Only if you forget that it was probably taken from its natural environment, prodded and poked by numerous people over the years and not permitted to act and behave as it would wish. I know I would be tempted to do the same.

Troublemaker, makes noise by slamming her car doors every day, even though she never goes out in the car, she only uses the car once a week she also slams doors in the house and gets her dog to bark.

She is a public housing tenant

I read up Victoria Housing rules and yes she is breaking them

https://www.housing.vic.gov.au/your-rights-and-responsibilities

She is creating excessive noise, creating disruptive behaviour and violating privacy.

There is a hospital right next door and a health clinic across the road.

The other neighbours haven’t said anything to me.

I guess you’re using vanity to mean a distortion of some sort caused by pride or excessive feelings of self-worth, otherwise if there is no distortion what is the objective of the idea as you’ve used it

to be distorting it’d probably need be somewhat persistent, though could be persistently up and down also

you’re using vanity in an entirely pejorative way maybe, i’m not convinced all shades of what might called vanity are bad

further, i’m not sure high levels of vanity reliably drive down empathy (to undesirable levels), though I don’t get out much, it’s more a view from the underside of my rock

I do think there’s a lot of potential distortions in pathologizing things

The people in unit 3, 4 and 5 are all quiet

The closest 5 neighbours across the road are all quiet too.

Maybe she thinks she’s out back.
Anyway, It really isn’t going to hurt oe be difficult to try and strike up a nodding acquaintance where you can maybe mention that you are a sensitive recluse who is frightened by loud noises.

She is more of nuisance than anything.

If someone has very high vanity, is it likely then they will have low empathy?

Say an average across these people.

I don’t know anybody with high vanity – or perhaps I do, I’ll come to that shortly.

I’ve known four people with exceptionally low empathy – none of those has high vanity. One was into criminal behaviour, the other three were pretty well normal apart from their combination of exceptional curiosity and lack of empathy.

Let’s say I can isolate four people from those I’ve met with the highest vanity. One played one-upmanship with everyone he met. One harboured no doubts that her very mediocre science work would be the top article in Nature. One collected top-notch employees to expand his business beyond the bounds of rationality. One non-scientist “got off”, in the almost sexual sense, from telling scientists what to do. All of those high vanity people had low empathy.

But there’s one other I’ve met, who seemed to be a politician. I can well and truly imagine that he had high vanity but it wasn’t at the front of his persona. He seemed to also have very high empathy. He was a delight to talk to.
