The description you give is somewhat similar to the way many people describe interactions with narcissists and psychopaths. I, too, fall into being an empath, and there tends to be a bit of a dynamic between those two personality types (narcissists and empaths). You can search around YouTube, and you'll probably find a few videos about that. We have tendencies for tuning in and potentially attempting to right situations, that aren't always good, especially when it comes to disordered people.

Some people say that being an empath is their superpower- and at times the ability does look a little supernatural to others, but to me, it's my weakness/detriment. It's the part of my kid self that can tune into the most bizarre aspects of human behavior, understand it, and try to prepare for disaster or fix a situation before what I know will happen, happens. Not sure if that makes sense or not. It doesn't serve me well in these types of situations. It's become better for me to learn to step back and take things from more of a distance- more treating it at face value, even if I sense something bigger beneath the surface. Gosh, I hope that makes sense.

Don't misunderstand, it can be a good thing, but theres a potential downside to it too.

But yeah, if your an empath, you may be a little more instinctively aware of what he's missing. You may see aspects of him that others can't.

Btw, the boards seem a little slower than usual IMO, so don't get discouraged if responses are a little slow.
