If you’re an empath, you probably know this pattern all too well: you meet someone magnetic, charming, maybe even a little mysterious… and before you know it, you’re wrapped up in a relationship (romantic, work, or even friendship) that feels draining, confusing, and downright painful. Life can really start to feel like you are living in the upside-down.
It’s not your imagination, empaths and narcissists are like moths drawn to a flame. Here’s why:
- Empaths see the best in people: It’s your superpower! You feel someone’s potential so clearly that you sometimes miss their actual behavior. Narcissists thrive on that, they love being adored for the possibility of who they could be.
- Empaths give (and give and give): Your natural instinct is to heal, soothe, and support. A narcissist, on the other hand, is wired to take. It’s a classic energetic mismatch – one pours, the other drinks.
- Empaths are wired for deep connection: You crave intimacy and truth. Narcissistic personalities are experts at mimicking intimacy, especially in the beginning. They can sweep you off your feet with intensity that feels like connection, but really … it’s performance, and a way to get their needs for validation met.
- Empaths can confuse compassion with tolerance: Feeling someone’s pain is second nature for you. But here’s the tricky part, you might stay too long thinking your love or understanding will eventually help them change. Meanwhile, your energy gets siphoned off and you have created a pattern of self-abandonment.
Okay, so what’s the way out?
The good news: once you see the pattern, you can shift it. Empaths don’t need to dim their natural way of being, they just need tools to keep their energy clear, strong, and grounded, so they can set healthy boundaries and follow the path that’s truly best for them.
At WooVersity, we teach practical ways to do just that:
✨ Reclaim Your Space: learn tools to ground, clear out what is not YOU, empaths take on so much of the other that it’s easy to forget what you feel like, as yoursef.
✨ Intuitive Training: strengthen your inner “truth detector” so you can tell the difference between real connection and flashy performance, clear out sticky energetic residue from old relationships (yes, even those narcissistic entanglements), and heal the old wounds that are trying to resolve through relationships.
✨ Guided Meditations + Energy Work: simple practices to reset your nervous system and stop replaying old patterns.
You don’t have to keep attracting (or engaging with) people who drain you. Your empathy is a gift, and with the right practices it can become your greatest source of strength, not a liability.
