5 Gifts God Gives to an Empath but Denies to Narcissists
When you see someone else succeed, there’s a pure, radiant energy that comes from witnessing another person achieve their dreams, find happiness, or experience a breakthrough. Because your spirit is not entirely consumed by your own ego, you can tap into this universal abundance.
When your friend succeeds, you feel a genuine rush of unselfish joy. You do not feel diminished by their light. You feel warmed by it.
This is the divine gift that allows you to experience happiness even when it is not directly about you.
A narcissist is completely denied this joy because they operate from a place of extreme psychological scarcity. They believe that there is only a limited amount of happiness, success, and love in the world. If you get some, it means they were robbed.
When a narcissist sees someone else succeed—even their own spouse or their own child—they do not feel joy. They feel this dark, burning psychological envy. Your success feels like a direct attack on their grandiosity.
They’re tortured by the happiness of others. Imagine the sheer hell of living a life where every time someone around you smiles, you feel an agonizing stab of jealousy and inadequacy.
Because they chose to make themselves the center of the universe, God allowed them to be eternally isolated by their own enemy.
Number five: the power to take your darkest pain and turn it into wisdom, art, or a higher purpose. This is perhaps the ultimate gift of the empath—spiritual alchemy.
