Empaths and Narcissists; The Traits Every Empath Needs to Understand That Make Them Targets

Empaths and narcissists tend to attract each other and with good reason. Empaths are natural nurturing souls who want to help heal the world with their awesome energy. Narcissists NEED the energy of the empath to survive because they cannot generate their own energetic power supply.

Empaths are natural healers, givers, guardians, feelers, and champions of others. We feel our way through the world and radiate energy. Like a moth to a flame, a narcissist can sense this radiation and will be drawn to a highly sensitive person for the sake of draining some of the empaths energy. Narcissists are energy vampires and because empaths are often wounded themselves, they can suffer breaks in their boundaries. These breaks become sources of energy leaking and a narcissist is all too happy and hungry to suck the empath of their sacred energy.

Empaths need to heal themselves FIRST in order to be able to sustain themselves in relationships with others. In this video, I offer empaths relationship tips they can use to help them better navigate the world and stay replenished as they learn to avoid being drained by toxic people.

Empaths and narcissists can stay locked in toxic relationship dynamics for many years, often resulting in the poor health of the empath while the toxic narcissist remains healthy.

Funny how while dating a Narc I didn't want to breakup with him because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Obviously I knew how it felt to be rejected, but later he had no trouble hurting mine! 7 million people on this planet and I fretted over hurting ONE person's feelings. So glad I woke up!!!! Great work Lisa, you're a blessing. Warmest regards.

Empaths are the most loving, caring, forgiving people on the universe. But we need not forget ourselves in the process

[jenniferdolson]

My Dad is a full-blown narc and my Mother is on the spectrum and all my significant relationships have been with narcs, and I am breaking this cycle now finally and your videos have been so helpful. Thanks so much!

[jeffwatkins]

The empath is someone who has owned their emotional inner child and committed to caring. The narc tries to duck under that commitment & feed off your humanity or social graces.

I feel like empaths are sleeping giants! We receive so much intuitively and energetically. When we direct that information and energy in a spiritually balanced manner, boom! I removed my covert narcissist boyfriend from life just a few weeks ago. That physical pain is gone. I can sleep soundly at night. I inhale a full breath. I've begun the process of self-awareness and self-actualization. These past 2 years have been a lesson. I feel like it needed to happen because I didn't see my patterns and had no idea what is an empath or that I am one. So glad I found this channel and I will become a member🙏🏼🙏🏼

[sandracoll]

I am highly Intuitive I can walk in a room and feel other's energy. Yes I attract narcissist and energy vampire even in work they cling to me

[catsjavachat]

Lisa, listening to you describe in depth: the feelings, and the thoughts and experiences of how others treat us usually, as being "Empaths". Most people, they do not get I mean that are NOT described my entire life. What it is like in depth being an empath.
Having parents that are narcs or sociopaths etc..and being rejected and hurt all the time by our parents and or siblings growing up.

I never felt; that I ever fit in with other kids as a child, or even as an adult for that matter. I felt I was the odd ball! out! Something was wrong with me!!! Not something wrong with anyone else. Because that is how my parents treated me growing up.
I thought about everything so much more in depth, I felt like kids my age; were so immature and boring and many times just plain stupid with the topics they were interested in. I couldn't understand for most of my life, why I felt emotions with such in-depth feeling compared to others, that really seemed to not be that emotional, or sensitive in life.Or so many people that do not think in-depth like I do. They do not worry like I always have throughout life. I am so relieved to know that others are like me....because my whole life, I felt so very alone....thank you so much from the bottom of my heart Lisa.

"if you don't define your purposes, you subject yourself to the purposes of others."thank you Lisa. that got written down.

As an empath I sometimes see me a SPONGE. I absorb absolutely everything surrounding me. My car broke down recently and I have to use public transportation from now on. It’s challenging because I absorb the noises, the smells, the behaviors, the moods, I can miss my station because I am confused and distracted. I haven’t found the OFF button so far, except when I meditate. I focus on every tiny details then I ask myself thousands of questions whose nobody cares, then my thoughts bring me so far from the initial observation. Yet that’s my way of being, I am fascinated by life, curious, and always seeking an equation to explain this or that. And with the narcissist I thought I had found someone to share my most intimate questions with. I might as well have broken my leg the day I met him... I don’t mean it of course. Thank God for this encounter with the narcissist who got me to become conscious of my unconscious wounds.

[bluemoon]

... I heard or read somewhere about how an empath comes to be ... (not necessarily born this way) ... but from a young age we are always having to “read” the faces, emotions and moods of others as a way to protect ourselves ... we developed the skill or ability to monitor or regulate ourselves to best adapt to every situation... which would often include taking care of others “needs” in order to maintain the peace ... and/or to feel worthy ...

[teachersusanute]

There are times I just hate being an empath. Feelings overwhelming me. All the terrible things happening. Cruel people. Wars. Cruelty to animals, children .... sometimes it‘s just too much and I go home, snuggle with my dogs, watch Downton Abbey, drink warm milk and forget about the world 🤣😁😳🙄

This is the best video I've seen on the unaware empath. It is the most coherent and easily understood description of the confusion faced by the empathetic personality. I had a hard time understanding why those I cared for, empathized with, and especially loved were always those, who in time, either betrayed or hurt me the most. This leaves the empath feeling confused, unloved, and sad to say, somewhat unhinged. This painful cycle occurred throughout my life. Destroying my self-esteem and leaving me feeling worthless. Fortunately I always had a supportive family but their help and unconditional love only made me feel more helpless. In my case, it was my strong faith belief, that would in time always pull me through. I eventually came to the realization that I had a God complex. Let me explain. I subconsciously thought I was God. That is the empaths achilles heal. I had to learn that we are all here to help others and share our many gifts with our brothers. I had to learn that human relationships require reciprocity. They require give and take. Never be afraid to tell others what you need to feel fulfilled. If they are incapable of giving it to you move on. Even the most vulnerable around us were created selflessly giving i.e. babies and innocent children. Those who of necessity; are given the most by their caretakers. Always joyfully have their unconditional love to give. So to all empaths: you are the salt of the earth! There is nothing wrong with you. You are true expressions of Love. Be sure that when you give, whether spiritual or physical, you have it to give in abundance. Since we are all lacking infinite abundance all we are asked to do is share. Otherwise we ourselves will soon be running on empty.

[virginiadelrio]

"Dont be so willing" resonating big time. Thank you. We really need to take care of ourselves.

[shannonsalgado]

Thank you so much!! Growing up I never knew what an empath is. Now, I know that I am one. My mother is a narcissist. You are spot on!!

[newearth]

I was an empath till I turned 55 years old. Then had a life threatening accident from which I came out miraculously alive and unharmed. But I suddenly lost all empathy !
I never thought my heart could become so hard.
I feel liberated somehow...

[musicgod]

I guess we get so absorbed with trying to give love to others
Then we forget to give love to ourselves. I've always thought that in doing so to hold myself above anyone else would be for me to be selfish and not humble meanwhile In not having a oneness with myself even in the quiet times or still times when you should be meditating and reflecting with yourself and recharging. Sometimes I'll just get nervous of being alone helping myself first.
Even when my battery is near empty.

Empath heal thyself first so you may have the strenght to help heal others.

Good stuff again Lisa =)

[morrigue]

I'm in tears. Ty for posting this.

Empaths feel too much. To make up for the deficit of living in Emotionally Absent Families.
