4. Narcissists think empaths owe them sensitive feelings.
Empaths often act based on their hearts, leading others to see them as overly sensitive. Narcissists view this sensitivity as weakness, making empaths an easy target for manipulation. They exploit this trait to control and play with your emotions, often without you even realizing it.
5. Narcissists think empaths owe them the removal of criticism.
Narcissists are skilled manipulators. When they make mistakes, they shift the blame onto empaths, making them feel responsible for everything that goes wrong. Empaths, who already feel deeply, often internalize this criticism unnecessarily. Remember, not all criticism is meant for you, and you don’t need to absorb it all.
6. Narcissists think empaths owe them time.
Empaths need time alone to recharge and reflect. However, narcissists constantly demand your time and presence, expecting you to drop everything for them. Be cautious about sacrificing your precious free time for a narcissist’s needs.
