People with NPD tend to have a low self esteem, without others to constantly lift them up, to tell them they are valuable, to give them attention and to treat them well, they may quickly fall into self-hatred, emptiness, and shame, which they try boost by making themself 'seem important' or higher up. They may seek attention or exaggerate their own achievements to gain this. People with NPD also tend to have low empathy, but this may not be the case with all.
