4. Excellent points on people who are highly sensitive and their relationships with narcissists.

We tend to attract narcissists until we wake up and realize our high sensitivity/empathy is a talent, gift, asset not a detriment.

Narcissist’s main goal is to control others; an empath who is asleep lives with much self doubt which makes them easier to control. Hence the two attract each other. As the empath begins to awaken in the relationship with the narcissist, they began to see the patterns of destructive and controlling behavior. The empath learns to trust their own self, their instincts and feelings. And the narcissist does what they always do try even harder to control the other, never learning the value of what they have in front of them.

An excellent video to watch!
