When A Narcissist Pushes The Empath TOO FAR!!!

An empath is someone who is highly attuned to the feelings and emotions of those around them. They feel what others are experiencing on a deep emotional level. This ability to discern another person’s emotions goes beyond empathy, to the extent that an empath may even take on another person’s physical and emotional pain.

Empaths are exceptional listeners and understand people on a profound level. They may have the ability to detect dishonesty, yet they often take on other people’s problems as if they were their own. They struggle to say no, as doing so can leave them feeling overwhelming guilt for not offering help to someone in need. This tendency makes it difficult for empaths to set boundaries with others. They may feel overwhelmed in large public spaces, as the mental strain of absorbing others’ emotions can lead to burnout.

Empaths are highly intuitive, caring, and sensitive. They are far more aware of sights, sounds, smells, and other physical sensations than most people. This heightened awareness can make them more bothered or distracted by certain stimuli that others may not even notice. While this sensitivity allows empaths to better support and care for those who matter most to them, it can also result in reduced understanding of their own emotions and the emotional states of others.

Only 1-2% of the world’s population are empaths. The rest of the population lives in their own separate worlds, with their own unique lives and experiences. This doesn’t mean they are bad people; it simply means they are not as attuned to the feelings and experiences of others.

There is some uncertainty as to whether empaths are born or made, with the possibility of it being genetic. Some empaths may view their sensitivity as a curse, but it is actually a blessing in disguise—when it is not being exploited by narcissists.

When an empath is around a narcissist, they may struggle to differentiate their own feelings from those of the narcissist. This can be confusing, especially when the narcissist is attracted to them. However, when the empath takes a step back, they may realise that it is not they who are attracted to the narcissist, but rather that they can sense the narcissist’s wounds and feel a duty to heal them. While this is a beautiful quality, it can be exploited by those who seek to dominate.

In a relationship with a narcissist, an empath may feel overwhelmed by the narcissist’s constant demands. They will do everything they can to make the narcissist happy, but narcissists have a void that can never be filled. No matter what the empath does, the narcissist will never be satisfied. The empath may be left feeling as though they can’t do anything right. Their emotions will be dismissed, or the narcissist may make them believe they are “too sensitive” or “overreacting.”

The empath may try to heal the narcissist, but the narcissist will begin to resent the empath for wanting to help. Eventually, the empath will realise they are dealing with an exploitative narcissist. When this happens, the empath will leave the relationship—and incredible things can happen.

Before reaching this point, the empath may have assumed that their friends, family, and partner felt the same way about them as they felt about others. However, they may come to realise that this is not the case. While the empath may feel deeply connected to others, those individuals may not feel the same way. Instead, they may be overly involved with themselves, using the empath’s compassion to their advantage.

Empaths often want to heal the world, striving to make everyone feel whole and complete. However, this empathy can be exploited by predators. Many people lack empathy, and empaths are far more likely to encounter a narcissist than another empath. When this happens, the empath may make excuses for the narcissist—at least until they are completely drained.

Once an empath realises what is happening, they understand the importance of setting boundaries. They recognise that if they do not protect themselves, others will drain their energy and extinguish their light. This realisation is often a turning point, as the empath begins to prioritise their own well-being.

A healed empath is incredibly powerful. They recognise that not everyone sees the world in a beautiful way, and they understand the existence of toxic relationships. They learn to take care of themselves first, rather than always putting others’ needs ahead of their own.

Empaths have a lot of energy, but narcissists will take all they have to give, leaving them unable to sustain themselves. It is good to have empathy for others, but not at the expense of one’s own well-being. Empaths must learn to differentiate their own feelings from those of others and recognise when someone is draining their energy.

Narcissists thrive on manipulation and exploitation. They push empaths to their limits, taking and taking until there is almost nothing left. However, by doing so, they ultimately fail. They push the empath to a point of awakening, where the empath realises they are being abused and decides to walk away.

Once the empath leaves, the narcissist is left to play the victim while seeking new supply. Meanwhile, the empath gains the education and awareness to help others and protect themselves in the future.
