Hey @Have Hope- Have you ever wondered if there is more of a connection with people that claim to be empaths and narcisissism? What I mean by "claim" is there is no definitive way to classify empaths. We can read about them and self identify but you and I know of others who were "empaths" or hinted at being empaths that have actually demonstrated behavior that is not empathetic or intuitive at all but rather selfish, self absorbed in a way that is on par with narcisissts.
I just wonder if the two are connected because narcissists are grandiose and make all kinds of claims, in addition to emotional manipulation- and someone labeling themselves and empath all the while being a toxic person could easily take advantage of someone who simply believes them and doesnt really get the narcisisst part. Am I making sense? (and excuse all the mispellings of narcisisst. I am constantly swapping out or adding ss's I cant seem to get it right without asking Siri and she was busy

)
