The Empath & the Narcissist

Subscribe in a reader

I have heard it said that narcissists attract empaths. But am I one? I just figured it out. No I am not a narcissist and this I know because I feel what others feel – is this you?

Suicidal thoughts after a narcissist? Have you ever thought of killing Yourself after your abuse? Did you try? Many of us have including myself. I am grateful I did not, for many reasons, he wasn’t worth it, my life did go on, I would have missed my child growing up. Let’s talk about this…. take it out of the closet and really understand how low we were and share any advice to our sisters and brothers that may think of hurting themselves.

Hi there. This is Tracy and tonight. I would love to talk to you about

0:00:07.990,0:00:10.229
finding your uppity and

0:00:14.559,0:00:20.339
For me. I didn’t understand that I didn’t know where an empath was I

0:00:23.080,0:00:28.349
didn’t know that I took on other people’s feelings and

0:00:30.039,0:00:32.249
That I could be manipulated by that

0:00:34.600,0:00:36.630
last week I was

0:00:38.140,0:00:45.119
with a friend and she was telling me something really horrible about her job is something that has happened and

0:00:46.930,0:00:50.459
It was it was just a scary vulnerable time for her

0:00:51.100,0:00:52.300
and

0:00:52.300,0:00:54.300
I left and I

0:00:54.789,0:00:58.469
Think it’s the first time I really understood I

0:00:59.920,0:01:04.860
Felt her pain. I was experiencing it. I was driving away and

0:01:05.500,0:01:08.610
And and I was scared for her

0:01:12.460,0:01:14.460
if I look back

0:01:16.560,0:01:17.350
I

0:01:17.350,0:01:20.009
Think that [a] lot of the drama in my life

0:01:21.130,0:01:23.699
was almost a compound of

0:01:24.610,0:01:26.610
Taking on other people’s feelings

0:01:27.820,0:01:32.909
For example when my narcissist you know was having lying

0:01:33.549,0:01:35.549
you know financial Troubles and

0:01:36.460,0:01:39.000
He couldn’t pay [for] his kid to go to lacrosse

0:01:39.000,0:01:43.470
and he needed his car fixed and [annie] [Annie] was in such a bad place and

0:01:43.960,0:01:47.070
Can I use your too late to call?

0:01:47.679,0:01:53.549
For my car. That’s broken down, and then would you pay for my car because you know [I] could feel

0:01:54.909,0:01:56.500
this is

0:01:56.500,0:02:00.449
Acting that has been pulled on me, and so I was I

0:02:01.000,0:02:07.769
was sympathetic and I was empathetic and I could feel it and I would say I don’t want to feel that ever so of

0:02:07.959,0:02:09.959
Course I will help you

0:02:10.660,0:02:12.220
I’m an empathetic person

0:02:12.220,0:02:19.109
And I didn’t even know that I was taking this on and then this is like a new discovery for me

0:02:19.110,0:02:21.269
and you can make fun of me if you want to but

0:02:23.019,0:02:28.649
You know ever since I I’ve been researching this last year narcissist abuse I?

0:02:31.660,0:02:35.910
Heard that you know you could be codependent you can be empathetic

0:02:36.040,0:02:40.829
You know all of these different things but but it didn’t realize was I

0:02:42.220,0:02:46.559
Have been and then I have always taken on other people’s

0:02:47.680,0:02:49.540
feelings and

0:02:49.540,0:02:51.540
That makes me really vulnerable

0:02:52.150,0:02:53.620
so

0:02:53.620,0:02:58.319
When I was driving away from my friends, and I I realized this I

0:02:58.930,0:03:02.819
Did that technique that I made another video on which is to?

0:03:03.579,0:03:05.319
tell yourself

0:03:05.319,0:03:09.539
Okay, that was terrible. I hated hearing about her

0:03:10.750,0:03:12.869
Bad luck and what was going on with her

0:03:15.160,0:03:22.469
But I had my own stuff and if I take on other people’s stuff I am learning that it has brought me back down

0:03:23.440,0:03:25.440
until I

0:03:25.540,0:03:30.029
Think it’s really important for people that

0:03:31.030,0:03:33.780
aren’t may be in tune with your

0:03:35.140,0:03:41.850
Attic side this this empathic way that you take on others feelings

0:03:43.630,0:03:45.689
because it can be used against you a

0:03:47.170,0:03:52.559
Narcissus has already identified this quality about you, and so they’re going to use that

0:03:54.640,0:03:57.450
so I want us to all learn how to

0:03:58.300,0:04:05.910
Pull back when we start to steal someone else’s feelings inside pull back and say are they mine

0:04:06.910,0:04:13.710
Because if you start your day with this and something else happens in you’re there, and you’re there, and you’re there suddenly

0:04:14.950,0:04:20.249
Your brain is exploding from holding all of these people’s emotions good or bad

0:04:22.810,0:04:26.220
So I want you to think about that. I am owning

0:04:28.540,0:04:31.710
And I am accepting and I am aware

0:04:32.620,0:04:36.840
for the first time in my life that I take this on and

0:04:37.300,0:04:42.510
Now I’ve got to learn how to control the dials and how to make myself

0:04:45.100,0:04:47.100
breathe through [it] and

0:04:47.290,0:04:49.290
not take it on

0:04:49.600,0:04:56.070
One of the things I learned from [lasalle] when she was here for those of you who watched our videos earlier this last year

0:04:56.890,0:04:58.450
as

0:04:58.450,0:05:05.399
an impact herself that receives messages from dead people and

0:05:06.100,0:05:08.459
she can hear spirits and

0:05:09.310,0:05:12.089
very very talented and gifted woman and

0:05:12.850,0:05:20.399
When all of that comes in she actually draw boundaries with coast she is my mother sauce was here

0:05:20.400,0:05:24.390
She’s like you tell me what you want right now because that you’ve got to get out of here

0:05:25.870,0:05:28.950
she had other ghosts visiting my house and

0:05:30.520,0:05:35.639
Over the years because she’s been doing this sense a child she’s learned to set boundaries

0:05:37.840,0:05:41.010
Let’s do that and if you feel it

0:05:42.310,0:05:44.020
understand

0:05:44.020,0:05:50.820
That you’re feeling someone else’s shit and start to take care of you and go all right I can

0:05:52.000,0:05:58.230
Sympathize with what they’re going through, but I don’t have to own it, and I don’t have to feel responsible

0:05:58.230,0:06:00.509
and I don’t have to rescue them and

0:06:02.440,0:06:04.440
It will all be ok

0:06:06.010,0:06:13.829
