If you are here, you are most likely an Empath,which describes a person who is highly tuned into other’s emotions and extremely sensitive. It means you have an intense feeling of empathy and compassion for others.
Empaths are incredible listeners, naturally giving and always there for people they care about. Narcissists notice this immediately. They purposefully seek a partner who is compassionate and in tune with their never-ending needs. An Empath absorbs the emotions of others and will easily fall prey to a Narcissist, who uses others as an emotional sponge.
Empaths are very sensitive to suffering in the world and are often idealists who want to fix the world’s problems. Empaths have an incredible capacity for self-sacrifice and are often found volunteering or dedicating time to help others. People naturally feel comfortable sharing their feelings with an Empath because of their incredible ability to feel compassion and connect with others.
On the other hand, people also easily take advantage of an Empath’s generosity. Empaths are often exploited, used and sucked dry for everything they have, including the clothes off their back.
Whereas a Narcissist doesn’t connect well with others, an Empath connects too much. When Empaths are around peace and love, they flourish. However, when surrounded by an emotional vampire, like a Narcissist, an Empath is ravaged. An Empath absorbs the negativity, fear and rage of the Narcissist. So much so that they take on these problems as their own and try to fix things for their partner. This is precisely what a Narcissist is looking for in a partner and exactly why they seek out relationships with Empaths.
As I mentioned earlier, if you are trying to get over a relationship with a Narcissist, it is likely you are an Empath yourself. Narcissists target Empaths for a reason. They take advantage of us because they know we are giving, trusting and generous.
This Valentine’s Day, instead of pouring all of our energy into Narcissists who do not deserve it, let‘s have a love affair with ourselves!!
Some of us may want to get into a new relationship right away to distract ourselves from the process of mourning our ex. Unfortunately, doing this only keeps us stuck. We must FEEL our FEELINGS in order to move on. It is so important you do not rush into another relationship right now. Instead, channel it inward towards yourself. You need to take care of yourself for a change.
Although taking care of yourself will feel foreign at first, it is the best thing you can do for yourself. It is critical for you to spend time alone before jumping into a new relationship. You need to find yourself again. We will talk in more detail about the process of finding yourself in my upcoming book. For now, please remember, you should not rush into a new relationship. You need to enjoy the benefits of being alone. You owe it to yourself.
We spend way too much time trying to form and nurture relationships with others who could potentially be our soul mate, when the whole time we neglect to nurture and get to know ourselves! It's time to have a love affair with yourself!
“To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.” ~Oscar Wilde
You are finally living in the light and moving away from the darkness. It is time to connect with yourself again! Being in touch with yourself and your true emotions is truly a gift that we all must cherish and embrace.
As Sinead O'Connor says in one of my favorite songs:
"Feel So Different"
The whole time I'd never seen
All you had spread before me
The whole time I'd never seen
That all I'd need was inside me
Now I feel so different
I feel so different
I feel so different
It is time for you to “feel so different” and have a love affair with yourself! You deserve it! Happy V-Day!
I am an empath as is my son
LOVE
Valentines day with myself.....
