- The Empath Narcissist Connection.
In this video, we explore how empaths can be similar to narcissists.
While these two personality types may seem like polar opposites, they actually share some surprising similarities.
Empaths are known for their ability to deeply feel and understand the emotions of others, while narcissists are often characterized by their self-centered and manipulative behavior. Despite these differences, both empaths and narcissists can struggle with boundary issues, low self-esteem, and difficulty in forming healthy relationships.
Discover how Dr. Elaine Aaron, the creator of the term empath or HSP assessed her childhood incorrectly and manufactured these false personality traits when, in fact, she experienced childhood trauma and developed codependent coping skills.

Kenny Weiss you are exactly right. Finally someone labels childhood trauma correctly!
What ur saying is so true, it's taken me several years to realize I am not a called so empath , as much as trauma tired and ptsd
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I hate labels, I used to be like this, and realized this was making my life worst, I realized we are all human and all have narcissistic tendencies, it’s normal to have narcissism, it’s about balance. It’s definitely important to keep evaluating ourselves and being honest with ourselves.
Born gifted and not good at life ! Work in progress. I talked to my dead ancestors as a child. I had a lot of trauma in my life.
I wouldn't have agreed 30 years ago about the connection between empaths and codependents because I used it to cope in early adulthood. Anymore I have to be careful not to automatically assume that everyone who announces they are an empath is automatically someone with BPD or someone heavily submerged in metaphysical beliefs and rainbow unicorn rose quartz love is the answer to literally everything.
I am an empath married to a covert narc & but i do not look at myself as special I never have and I feel horrible shame that I've ended up where I'm at and I blame myself so some of what you're saying is true some of it i question & i do feel tho we all have some narcissism.. thanks 😊
I think you’re right. I used to consider myself an “empath,” because I came from a cultural background steeped in people pleasing and hospitality taken advantage of, but have understood after a third narcissist/toxic relationship, where it comes from, and left that personal label. I do believe being “narcissistic like”could be worded much softer for codependents/empath-identifying that have been abused with higher levels of violence from narcissists. Reason being, types of violence toxic people dish out, such as physical violence is not acceptable. Empath-identifying would most certainly be defensive and very triggered from these types of horrible occurrences and have every right to be even if they misunderstand themselves. As you said, it takes time to learn differences from empathic assuming to codependency as a lot of those with trauma backgrounds need time to process and understand themselves. I would stick to the side of being understanding to empath identifying that do not have the nerve to commit to atrocities and violent damage certain narcissists dish out. Hope this makes sense. I think even if self-preservation is handled incorrectly by empath identifying folk, they’re allowed to think for some time, mistakenly, they’re better than a narcissist if the narcissist really beat their life up. Sometimes I think your content could be said a little bit softer. I follow you for valid reasons, but feel a bit put off at how matter-of-fact this is.
I've seen the info about "empaths" as being a gift for some time. And always have had reservations about how it "explains everything." I mean, it's a start but sure doesn't get very far. Whatever ever gift anyone has, we still must live in the world. Which is pretty indifferent to our needs and demands. We must still obtain the wherewith to live. Very few of us, aside from very young, small children, can open our mouths and food will be placed there. We have to work, interact with people and the world, obtain and live in shelter, obtain and eat food, on a on. My IQ does not except me from that, nor does any empathic status.
Sure it can be a piece. It can help. But not a big piece. Nor much help.
One of my favorite jokes has long been, "I think I have a good grip on life. But nothing like the headlock it has on me."
2:02 I suffered a horrible childhood of emotional & sexual abuse and now as an adult I have to deal with more psychological abuse.(I might have been upset by your statements even a year ago) but, now I commend & fully agree with you! 5:10 This is true , these words didn’t exist in my vocabulary 5 yrs ago. We all have narcissistic traits all we can do is try to identify them & treat others as we want to be treated . Stuff we learned in elementary school. 😅
Empaths who say they are better than narcissists in a way is comprehensible. they don't want to be superior, it's just logic. For instance if you ask the question "Is it better to be a mean, cruel person or a kind, empathetic person?" rarely or never will you get the answer "it is better to be a mean cruel person".
Well, there is an old fashion statement....you don't amount to a lot until you've gone to hell and back! Going through childhood trauma opens your eyes to a lot more in life. They do become sensitive to things that other people don't notice.
💯
Which is ironically, an empathetic response.
Agreed. As a co-dependent, I am working on my controlling issues which I didn’t know were there as a way to ease my own anxiety and fear of abandonment.
Its those people that throw popcirn memez about forgive ess and light that drive me crazy. People dont like to live reality ...acceptance is hard.when they freate special tslemts....no one is immune to becoming unemployed.
Ive never been in a relationship with an asshole. let alone friend one.Theres no such thing as an empath.
What is right to self defense?
If I am afraid of punching someone in the face for abusing me then I can call myself 'empath' and save my self-image :)
this is sobering still it may be a counter-vailing force if (and only if) the empath sees his or her own difficulties (see also Sam Vaknin who goes on a similar path as you)
Im accustomed to bring spoiled eith love and sttention by past vommittef relationships. I spoil them in return.
being an empath is bad, or is as bad as being a narc?
The first thing to recognize is that there is no such thing as an empath. Dr. Elaine Aaron, the creator of the term, misdiagnosed what she experienced as a child.
So an empath is a person who experienced childhood trauma and has no internal emotional boundaries., They are an undiagnosed codependent. If you go to my live playlist, I have videos describing her innocent mistake and what is happening.
@@kennyweiss very interesting, thanks.
@@kennyweiss So what do you call an empathetic person. Do you think that if a person is capable of true empathy (not cognitive empathy), they are necessarily codependent? I don't think so, I think the term empath simply describes a person who is capable of genuine empathy. It's a common term that you can find in all dictionaries.
Heard of Anita Moorjani? She wrote a book 'Sensitive is the new Strong'. Is she deluded?
Difference between empath and vulnerable narc? Empath is someone who failed at being a narc? Looks like empath has to manage with bit of a narcissism untill healed :)
Elaine seem to have no empathy toward vulnerable narc. And sees her as special compared to vulnerable narcs.
