A romantic dynamic that is not often thought of but is very likely to form is the Empath and Narcissist relationship. Now, it may seem that these two are an impossible match – how could an Empath ever possibly engage with the ultimate energy vampire? There are a few reasons that the two can attract each other, so if you find yourself asking “am I dating a Narcissist?” we can help you assess.
Before we talk about the Empath and Narcissist as a couple, let’s look at the characteristics of them as individuals first. Starting off with Empaths, you will find that these highly sensitive beings are very in tune with their feelings and can sense the emotions and energies of those around them. They have a lot of love to give and make excellent listeners, friends, and caregivers. On the other end, a Narcissist has an overwhelming sense of self-importance and an intense need to be admired and adored. Most importantly, they also have an extreme lack of empathy and frequently gaslight loved ones into believing that problems they create are the other person’s fault.
So, how do these two polar opposites come together? It boils down to the Empath’s capability for radical compassion and the Narcissist’s need for constant attention. While a highly sensitive person has a lot of love to give, a narcissistic partner expects a lot of love. However, this is a very one-sided relationship. One party gives and gives and the other just keeps taking.
Am I Dating A Narcissist?
From a Narcissist’s point of view, this is their wildest dream come true. The Empath possesses qualities that they never will — they are stable, supportive, compassionate, thoughtful, and loving. The Empath on the other hand is drawn to their opposite’s charm, powerful energy, and humor. This relationship becomes toxic quickly when the Narcissists drops their charming façade and the gaslighting, shaming, and constant blaming begin. You will conclude that you are indeed dating a narcissist. When you have come to this startling realization, it will be important to look for ways to end this partnership.
When finding yourself in this challenging and heartbreaking situation, it is important to set clear boundaries and to trust your gut feelings (use that empathic muscle!). This kind of relationship takes a huge toll on the empathic person and so looking for ways out will be crucial to preserve your energy and spirit.
