Powerful Empaths with Narcissists: Will the Relationship Work?

Opposites attract. But, if we talk about the empath-narcissist relationship, is attraction possible? A toxic narcissist who loves victimizing their partner, causing them anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic disorder. On the other hand, sensitive, sweet, and emotional empaths always care about others and are simply loving personalities.

How is the match possible?

When anyone who suffers from narcissistic personality visits me for therapy for PTSD, I can see the pain in the victim’s eye.

So, how could anyone tolerate narcissists in their personal life? Although, if there is our family, we obviously can’t throw them out saying, “You are a narcissist; go away.” It isn’t pleasant.

Recognizing the signs of narcissistic personality disorder and safely avoiding them is the only easy option one can go for.

But how do empaths entertain or handle narcissists? Do you have an idea about this?

Let’s dive deep and understand how far can a narcissist-empath relationship go and how.

An Awesome Personality of Empaths

Being highly sensitive is a genetic gift only some people will have in this vast crowd; these people are Empaths who care for others’ emotions and understand what others are going through. It’s hard to battle our emotions, and at the same time, we feel others too.

As empathy, my emotions are sacred, and I keep them personal; it makes me understand who I am. I love to sit with these emotions, and sensitivity makes me feel sensual and helps me to embrace feminine energy, but it does all do.

No, we don’t, as we don’t understand what it is and how much it’s a powerful tool for us and can work as a protection shield when you become alpha in your energy. Being Empath, people tend to get confused with co-dependency, which is very much a trauma response. Empath tends to attract narcissists as empathy; we carry light towards darkness, and being a narcissist is fuel to take from an empath.

What are the significant differences between the unhealed and healed versions look like?

Unhealed or Codependent Empath

They absorb other people’s feelings while feeling disconnected from their feelings.
They feel self-pity and feel responsible for someone else’s feelings.
Try to fix or rescue others’ problems as they feel responsible for them without setting boundaries.
Try to help or give others a lot, leaving them burned out.
They need to learn to receive support and carry all responsibilities themselves.
Many empaths developed co-dependency in childhood to cope with chaotic and abusive environments and seek emotional support from outside.
They are constant in the battle of unsafe and uncertainty.
Self-esteem is at its lowest, attracting narcissists as they provide immense love with masks.

Narcissist cannot live without empathy, as they don’t want to face the reality of their behavior; they need people with their terms and conditions, as they are most in lower energy and feels unsafe. They depend on others with their manipulative nature and keep sucking others’ energies without feeling sorry.

That’s why it’s essential to tap into your power to protect and avoid this kind of people who are constantly pulling your energy and leaving you drained, dry, and dead.

If we talk about an empath-narcissist relationship, it can go both ways,

As narcissists lack emotions and are purely selfish, dealing with them is like putting your head in a lion’s mouth. When entering a relationship with a narcissist, empaths can sense their manipulative behavior due to their higher emotional intelligence. Empaths try to comfort the narcissists, but as narcissists are selfish beings, they try to allure empaths with their fake actions of love, money, and care to use empaths as an opportunity. This practice is commonly known as love bombing.
A healed empath who can protect their energy and unlock their powers can try to control a narcissist’s personality, but an empath can never change a narcissist.

So, a healing session is necessary if you are planning to enter into a relationship with a narcissist or already living with one of them.
