Why Narcissists Are Drawn to Empaths: Unpacking the Obsession

Episode Overview

  • Narcissists see empaths as surrogate parents, seeking the love they missed in childhood.
  • Empaths act as mirrors, reflecting the narcissist's true self, which they find terrifying.
  • The light and authenticity of empaths threaten the narcissist's fragile ego.
  • Narcissists engage in love-bombing followed by devaluation due to their unresolved trauma.
  • Understanding these dynamics can help in healing from narcissistic abuse.
They hate what they see in the mirror that you are, but they still see it to feel justified in hating you for being as miserable as they are
Ever wondered why narcissists seem to have an uncanny obsession with empaths? This episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse with Danish' dives deep into the reasons behind this peculiar dynamic. Danish, a narcissistic abuse recovery professional, breaks down three compelling reasons why narcissists are so drawn to empaths. First, he explains how narcissists view empaths as surrogate parents, hoping to receive the unconditional love and care they missed out on in childhood.
This misplaced parental longing often leads to intense love-bombing and subsequent devaluation. Secondly, Danish reveals how empaths act as mirrors, reflecting the narcissist's true self - a reality that is too painful for them to accept, leading to defensive and destructive behaviour. Lastly, he discusses how the unique light and authenticity of empaths threaten the narcissist's fragile ego, making them feel insecure and inferior. Danish’s insights are both enlightening and comforting, providing a clear understanding of the narcissist-empath relationship.
If you've ever been puzzled by a narcissist's behaviour towards you or someone you know, this episode is a must-listen. It offers valuable perspectives that can help you navigate and heal from such toxic relationships.
