As an empath, you can feel emotions deeply, wear your heart on your sleeve, and experience intimacy on a subliminal level. These are a narcissist’s worst nightmares. They can never imagine opening up about their insecurities, shame, guilt, or fears. They hate your empathy because it makes them feel weak and emotionally impotent. They feel incomplete and go to great lengths to prove you wrong for experiencing emotions naturally.
Narcissists might say, “You’re not supposed to show your sadness or talk about your weaknesses.” Why? Because they fear others might use it against them, just as they do. This tells us they are fake and project their fears onto others. For them, the world is unsafe, with no room for compassion or mutual benefit. It’s a hierarchical “dog-eat-dog” world, where one is always trying to overpower another.
Your ability to face reality as it is sets you apart. That’s why they are shaken. On one hand, they might tell you that you’re weak, but at the same time, they are jealous of your strength. Admitting your flaws and embracing the full spectrum of emotions proves you are more emotionally evolved than the narcissist, who remains a fragmented child in an adult’s body.
They may have shamed your emotions, but you must accept them. Understand that they did so because your wholeness made them feel incomplete. Narcissists live fragmented lives, while you remain whole.
