And they know how to use you and your emotional empathy against you.

I'm going through this right now. Last night was escalated...He truly doesn't give a flying fig about me, my welfare or even our children! After 32 years of first physical and then emotional abuse, I'm trying to get out.

This makes sense to me. I am also backtracking to see the ways I may have done this. I find most people don’t have emotional empathy in my whole life I’ve had kind caring people in it but never someone who actually felt the feelings and cried with me or anything. I’d guess cognitive and compassionate are the most common forms

This is so weird for me because I think my main empathy is cognitive empathy but I don't think I'm a narcissist I don't know I mean when I see someone sad sometimes I'll try to do something to make them feel better (less because I feel sad for them and more as a moral obligation) and sometimes I don't give a fuck and ignore it does that make me a narcissist I don't even know I mean I don't use anyone's emotions to manipulate anyone so i don't know

Here is where I get confused:

As a childhood trauma survivor I litterally have a self-sacrificing mentality where I will do everything under the sun for the ppl I love. Often without boundaries which, in turn causes me harm long term as I am often disappointed in the major lack of reciprocity.

I'm also intuitive to go above what ppl verbalize that they need. And often don't mind giving.

Does this mean I am unintentionally love bombing?
