Empaths V.S Narcissist and how they’re connected

the three paths of Empathy: By EAO

Disclaimer i am not a doctor this is all just an opinion and should be taken as such.

If i asked you what the difference between A narcissist and a empathy is you would most likely say one is manipulative and self absorbed wile the other is caring ,understanding ,relatable and kind . i would then tell you that there ee really is no difference there too sides of the same coin.

Imagine if you will a tree and the trunk of that tree represents the ability to feel and understand another emotions now as you go up the tree you see the path of empathy and as you descend in to the roots you see the path of the narcissist.

The Empath:

Some of the “abilities of an em-path are as follows

no matter how well you try to hide it they will know if something is upsetting or bothering you

can tell if you’re lying or hiding something

can relate to you in almost any situation and has the urge to help everyone

Will help everyone but themselves witch will eventually lead to them burning out emotionally

The Narcissist / Dark Empath

most people would not think that a narcissist has the compacity to understand emotions in another person but when manipulating someone it is far easier to do so if you understand how to use there emotions against them. this begs the question weather or not a narcissist is just a dark Empath. and if you look at the tools used by a narcissist you might understand better what i mean.

Gas lighting: this is one of the most used tactics of a narcissist it is described by doctors as the manipulation of information they will deny that something transpired or deny they said something that you know happened or remember them saying this makes you question yourself and weaves seeds of self doubt.

Dog Whistling : This is a term usally used in politics. but in the case of a narcissist its referring to a type of reactive abuse. Imagine a room filled with people and in this room there is one dog and one person with a dog whistle the person is blowing that whistle without anyone knowing so the dog starts to go nuts and none knows why. the narcissist will use a phrase or subtle action to trigger there target. this along with gas lighting slowly starts to make there victim look irrational or insane

Love-Bombing: narcissists when they first meet someone they see as a opportunity will love-Bomb you trying to break threw your emotional barriers and and gain access to your inner circle of friends this leads to you letting your guard down to them and lull you in to a false seance of security.

Hot-Cold / On-Off: this is a tactic described as being inconsistent with how they feel about things and people one day they may act like they love you the next will be cold to you this puts you on there personal roller coaster of emotions

and that is just the top 4 “tools” used by a “Negative Empath”? (Narcissist) all of witch are at there core a form of emotional and psychological manipulation.

Lets now label these as

Light Empath:

Dark Empath:

now remember i said the too where like a tree what if you could be a dark and light empath what would we call that

This is a trait you will see very often in someone with Borderline Personality disorder Flip From caring helpful and understanding to Calculated, methodical and uncaring of others it is this duality of dark and light

The Chaotic neutral Empath/ The path of emotional Balance : this is when a individual Can use the deep understanding of emotions to help or hinder someone it requires a inner balance to be not good or bad.

the Chaos Empath-

Chaos in it self is not as most believe it to be and get it confused with dicorde and disorder. What Chaos actually is uncategorized potential like a steam cell of it can become either light or dark. in Greek mythology chaos is the void that all things come from Order and light discord and dark all come from chaos.

The Three Paths Of Empathy

The Path of Light:Uses The deep knowledge of emotions and the mind to help others to a almost self destructive level

The Path Of dark: A Narcissist will use the deep knowledge and understanding of emotions and the mind to benefit themselves at others expense.

The Path Of Chaos: Is neither good or bad it will depend on the situation and people there interacting with what there use of that knowledge will be. When faced with a dark empath (Narcissist) has the upper-hand and can spot the signs of manipulation fairly quick and shut them down.

in closing i have a final piece of information did you know that in most instances a light or chaos empath will have a dark empath /narcissistic parent. With that being the case would you say that light can not be without the dark and vice versa?
