    The super empath in fight mode is the absolute best opponent to a narc. Once that switch is pulled lawrd have mercy. You can use all of the narcs traits against him and not lose any sleep. Thank you this helped me gain a better understanding of who I am. I was concerned once my narc traits came up and I dealt with the situation.

      Me too already recognized the false self one upped his ass and divorced him did everything by myself...GOD held my hand he saved 100 texts when we were together and tried to use in court against me that I was stalking him...evil after he ghosted for 2 weeks and would not pay his insurance and car note....he had me get him a car in my name as primary and several times did not pay the car note for 3 months and hid the car so do not know where the car is..over 18 months no contact....over 8 months divorced and he refuses to refinance the car in his name...narcissists are parasitic...and codependent!

      Right..!! Initially, I thought I was the Narc..!! I did my homework and found u cannot be both the Narc & the Co-Dependent simultaneously..!!
      I saw ur comment and wanted to suggest the notion of the "Active Co-dependent..!!" Perhaps u do ur homework on UA-cam or otherwise regarding the "Active Co-dependent..!!" Most of these channels seem geared towards the "Passive Co-dependent..!! Some co-dependents don't assume the "pitiful role..!!" Some co-dependents fight for their self awareness and self preservation...!! No need to necessarily be the "Super Empath...!!" Just a theory..!! 🙄

      In my case it is her and I prayed for our souls and am not in jail. In 39 year's I haven't hit her and prayer kept me from giving her what she really needed when she discarded me. Alone and confused about the whole situation I realized the next day how close I came to losing my freedom. Thanks to the Lord I still have a home, my rights and am free. This is pure evil we are facing.

    A true super empath will not loos their temper but will use logic and facts to expose the narcissist. Once the narcissist is exposed by logic and fact the narcissist has no choice but to move on to a new victim. You have to hit the narcissist where it hurts the most and that is to expose the false persona by letting them have enough rope to hang themselves very publicly

    The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself.

He finally backed down I was so scared but I didn't care he walked out the house and I finally cracked and felt all the energy drain from me I felt so broken and hurt. I felt confused like what just happened that's not me. He rang the doorbell and came back. I hugged him and said I never want to fight with him. Since then he has little contact with me. We're at peace if I don't call him I won't hear from him. Hurts me we are family

    • @CrimsonLotus-dj6yp
      @CrimsonLotus-dj6yp 4 роки тому +4

      I agree with you. I think theres a time and place to speak and when to remain silent. As empaths, I think theres an expectation to just smile and ignore bad treatment. In some situations it's better to ignore it. However, after a while, you get ppl comfortable with over talking you and breaking your personal boundaries such as: being heard, respected and listened to. I noticed that when I would just speak up about anything, ppl would want to interrupt and push their opinion. I used to let it slide, assuming that was the polite thing to do. However, I address it now. I dont raise my voice..I just state facts.
      I think when we lose our power is when we get into a screaming match with these narcs. But also know..that no one is perfect. To expect an empath or anybody to never get upset..to never disagree and to always turn the other cheek is unrealistic. I lived this way for years and actually felt bad when I had to set the record straight. Now, not only do I practice this..its becoming a part of who I am. I wont be an easy target for anymore abusers. Period.

      Please don't be fooled. The tears ARE NOT REAL. They love to put a show on, therefore you'll think they really love or care about you. They'll roll around on the floor just to get some type of attention. Their whole objective is to make you feel bad for them. So you won't let him go. They love to ACT. They'll DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. If you want a peaceful life move forward. The only time you need to look backwards is to see weither or not he's behind you. They're are VERY DANGEROUS. They'll DESTROY you MENTALLY PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND FINANCIALLY... You are better and greater than that foolishness... At the end of the day. That's the only thing he's about. Please believe me. Plead the blood of Jesus over him and Ask God for protection, healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus. Whatever is that you want or need God will provide.... May God continue to bless you Abundantly and Exceedingly. Love yourself and Stay NARC FREE!!!!!!!

    @cendyd.7106 5 років тому +37

    Congratulations Dr. Bryant, you were able to gather a whole bunch of super empaths in the commentary. I never knew there are this many. :-)
    From my own perspective I see it this way: Thanks to his/her fine tuned antennas, even while still being in the FOG and having cognitive dissonance, the empath picks up on a lot of things that aren't kosher. Once the empath comes out of the FOG this collection of betrayals, stealing from employers, cheating insurances, the IRS or social benefits department, etc., will rise to the empath's conscience one by one. Due to the narcissist's arrogance he/she generally underestimates other people, see Dunning-Kruger-Effect for details, the narcissist never even imagines that the survivor knows heaps of things about the narcissist that could easily put them in jail for years.
    A true empath will never be vengeful. And using what you know as a measure to protect yourself against the narcissist is no reason to feel bad at all, it's called self-defense. Knowing what I know about certain people allows me to sit back and calmly watch them dig their own graves. Thinking they can get away with murder is giving them a false sense of security, and them obviously not knowing whom they're messing with, gives me a huge advantage. If they don't stop messing with me, I'll let the bomb explode and shred their delusional lives in pieces so fast they won't know what hit them. And no, they won't get back on their feet again, they're a) too old, b) too lazy, c) too ignorant to help themselves.

      Oh my word, you hit it on the head! I held a mirror up to my narcy ex ONCE. Just one small facet of his personality that wasn't what he wanted to believe about himself, and he completely crumbled. More than enough for me to make my escape, almost with his blessing. I could have done soooo much more. Between the secrets I knew, and just all the awful personality traits that he's in complete denial about, I could have not only ripped him to shreds mentally and emotionally, but destroyed his personal and work life and probably had him sent to jail. But I need not be the instrument of karma. That will bite him in the ass all on its own.

I'm dealing with a narc now, it's the third time he's come back in to my life and this time enough is ENOUGH! I'm fed up with his back and forth, inconsistency and BS. He doesn't know what do with himself. I saw it the other night at a social gathering and the way he reacted to me and I stood up for myself. I was raised by a narc mother and father. But I always wondered where my sensitivity and strength came from as I don't deal with any BS. I've always been told I'm strong despite my upbringing and challenges I've faced in life, but over-sensitive and feel too much. Pressed enough, eventually I fight back.

    Thank you for such an inspiring video. I took the MBTI test a few times and found I'm an INFJ. The description of the super empath matches closely with INFJ characteristics. The INFJ is famous for the INFJ door slam, which sounds very much like a supernova. We don't really hate the person we door slammed, we just don't care anymore, and we (I know from personal experience) will use every trick they used against us. Oddly enough, when we use their own techniques against them, all of a sudden, those techniques are unfair and despicable. The narcissist has no self-awareness. Sigh....

    Super empath here. For me, the supernova is at times really uncontrollable. It messed with me for a long time until I learned about super empaths. I'm generally an extremely empathetic person, but it would make me question my character when I'd get pushed to a place where my boundaries were violated so severely my needs weren't met. I would literally become a completely different person devoid of empathic qualities, forced to a place of one goal at all costs...self preservation. I've had people tell me the way I think when I get to that place is scary and not right and not me, but I only get there when I've been violated. And, you're so on point in this video because it is incredibly hard to resist fighting fire with fire once it's started. Thanks for posting!

    Empaths are also biblically based. In the Bible it's called discernment. God gives the gift of discernment to be able to vet people out. I have the heightened gift of discernment/empathic ability. I can pick up a person's emotions or intentions the moment I walk in a room. I can tell what people are feeling without them saying a word. I can vet out a lie instantly. It's to the point that people who know me don't even try to lie, because they know I'll call them out. I also pick people up at a distance. Recently I got really emotional feeling I wanted to leave the Earth and go to heaven. It was so bad that all I could do was lay in a fetal position in the bed and not move. I called my cousin and she said maybe you are picking up someone. I thought maybe I was but I couldn't control the feeling. I didn't want to leave the house thinking I was going to die in a car accident or something. The next morning, the feeling was gone, I felt a relief. My phone rang, my Mother told me my grandfather died in the middle of the night in the nursing home...I told her I picked him up!! He truly was ready and wanted to go to heaven, and he was at peace. Lastly, Jesus was the best empath to ever live. He was able to discern anyone. By the way, I am a film writer/director...lol. And after dealing with my Narcissist, I've learned to say No and set boundaries. I say No very easily now, and I've learned to put my emotions and needs first. It took practice but I got it now. Red flags stop me in my tracks and I make a U-turn...I wish a Narcissist would try it with me now...I can spot them easily and I shut them ALL THE WAY DOWWWWNN!

But, it was the Sadistic Way that she Did it, “You Like Sugar?” to the Child! “YES! “Giggles! “Elated over-Board! “YUM - “Sugar!” The Narc Looked at me & Sprinkled the Sugar… SMILING! THEN - RE-RUN X’s 8… With a Sinister, hateful Voice, until the Heaping Eating Spoon WAS ALL ON the CEREAL. I was in SHOCK & COULDN’T SPEAK! I cried for 12 yrs., putting up with All… I felt my Super-Nova Blood BOIL. This is the Life of a Child, w/ a Malignant Narc Parent Playing Games! “NO MORE!!!”
      I can’t figure out HOW to get around her Hurting the KIDS to Spite Me… “SO I AM GOING NO CONTACT.” “AMPUTATED from my LIFE!” “DONE!” I just hope that the other parent figures it Out - Before She Kills the Kid!

    I know myself when I'm in the company of a narcissist, so being myself, an empath, when narcs believe they've got one over me, I catch them in their acts. To all empaths, be yourself, just know when you do, they'll think they can screw you over. Turn around and see what they're doing, more often than not, you'll find them into doing no good! My husband sister came into our home and she accused me of abusing my (husband her brother) and I told her that her disrespect was a Ray trait, couldn't do what you ask any of his family, she took her rear end out of our home! I've had enough of him and his narc family!

    Such a good video. I would add to this. As the super empath, and when we don't know who they are, we're reacting like an overt narc and really affecting them badly, to the point where they run, and yep we feel bad afterwards and they take advantage of that. But we analyse and analyse and figure it all out, and we put the pieces together .. and then we find peace in us and we end the relationship. But they don't stop, they threaten police, they smear us, they do all these things .. and we get a final 'booooom!!!' and for us it's over .. and we continue to put the pieces together because we're very good at putting ourselves in their shoes and seeing the smallest of detail and the big picture, and we learn their tricks. And so, what we do is, we start doing the mind games on them, responding covertly, just like the Brits and Americans did on the lead-up to D-Day in WWII, tricked the Germans into thinking we were going to land in one place and landing somewhere totally different, and we keep going and going, pushing forward, not letting them know what we're doing or what we know, and it torments them (not that we're trying to) and we've finally figured it out .. and THAT is when we become incredibly dangerous to them, their worst nightmare, when we 'get it' and stop reacting and start responding, and have become extremely unpredictable .. and they really fear us then, because there is no telling what we'll do .. but unlike them, at this point we actually do nothing, we just watch, we use patience, we block, we give nothing away, we record everything, we keep the police updated, and we simply just do not respond to any of their pokes or anything .. and they know not to confront us because they know we've become way too powerful for them and they just simply cannot compete because our way is so alien to them, but their way is very clear to us, because we're empaths, and they don't understand why we've stopped reacting .. and that drives them crazy!!

    My cousin's a Greater Narcissist, and I'm a Super Empath; and she's been a huge bully and a pain to me my entire life, and I've just been taking the abuse for almost 30 years now. Broke ties with her several times in my life, but this last time was the ultimate end for me. Going super-nova describes it perfectly. Love the sun analogy. (And we've actually physically rammed heads together when we were younger, like sheep do; Almost like we were destined to collide. She always had a thicker head though, so she always won the headbutting contests.) It's such an amazing feeling to officially burn this bridge, and walk away from her for good this time.
    I've encountered many abusive people in my life, but my cousin's always been the most passively consistent. Right after I firmly told her I was done for good, she kept trying to reel me in with a few dozen insults mixed in with one or two back-handed compliments; just to remind me how happy I'll be without her in my life.
    Thank you for spreading a Positive Mental Attitude in the world. I certainly appreciate it, Dr. Carmen.

All narcissists are different, idc what anyone says but they have a personality even if it is a "mask" & they are all constantly searching for something! It is key to stay logical with them and never let them close to your emotions! They are such spiteful beings and will use anything you say against you. That's why they leave in you in disarray it's like a bookmark so they know exactly where to pick up when they hoover back. But there are so many types lol it's really not safe territory for someone who isn't used to it.

    This really helped me realize myself more. I am compassionate, yet vigilant and have no tolerance for people who abuse, like an archangel. I am now really taking my ability to see and sense seriously, I always tried to shy away from that ability, now I see clearly. And with more sensibility, I take what I detect seriously now and back off, vs. fight what I am detecting and trying to make a positive picture.

    This explained a lot. Before he flipped on me, he had made comments like...you may be stronger than me, dont you ever get angry, you do that better than me...these were totally out of character. Now I realize where the comments came from. I shocked him by blessing him to the very end with my words. Then I did the no contact until I heard clues to small attitude changes. After that, I sent about 4 hard but caring letters, weeks apart, setting difficult boundaries, exposing his weaknesses but honoring the good. I am keeping a distance but loving him from that distance by praying for him and in the letters. Just this past week, after not talking to him in 9 months, 2 different people told me things about him that evidence he is taking my letters to heart. My point is that what is impossible with man is possible with God, only most people wouldnt survive it emotionally. I am able, like you said, to lay aside my emotions for the good of Gods truth. I will continue to pray and watch for the miracle! Thank you for the video.

      Ana Kerner it will work, in time, but like you said, you have to be incredibly strong emotionally, and very close to God. Strength and patience is key. I dealt with a narc for a year before I realized what he was, which is a lot quicker than most of the comments I’m reading, but, I called him out for what he was, set my boundaries (which narcs do not respect) but gave him no choice but to respect them or move along. I kept him at a distance for about 6 months, all the while praying for him and keeping myself strong. I kept hearing from different ppl how he was working on himself, and he didn’t seem to be the same person. I eventually started conversing with him again, but not letting him forget the reason I stopped conversing with him to begin with. It took about a year in all, working on himself, me keeping busy with work and my kids, and we ended up back together. We’ve been married for 4 years now and he is a different man. He knew something was off with him, but he always thought he was bipolar. Once I explained to him the traits of a narc, he realized that was him, and he wanted to change for the better or he knew he would die miserable and alone. He told me what all narcs tell their partners, “you’re the best thing that ever happened to me”, but I believe him now..bc out of all the women before me, I’m the only one he actually changed for, for the better. It took so long for me to trust that what he was doing was real, and not the same old game..but that’s where the patience comes in, on his part as well, I can’t tell you how many times he asked me if I was ever going to trust him again, and my answer was always “you made me this way.” He’s been consistent for over 5 years now, so I do know they can change, but they have to realize and admit what they are..and it takes someone mentally and emotionally strong to point that out to get them to accept it. They will run all over a “push over”, and use them up, over and over again. You have to have a backbone, know your worth, then they will realize your worth as well, and they WILL change bc they don’t want to lose what they’ve never had. “Pushovers” come a dime a dozen to them. Once they meet their match, they settle down and wave the white flag. But believe me when I say, none of this is possible without God. 🙌🏽

      @@janaj2748 Thank you so much for taking time to write this to me. I realize for a narc to change is a rare exception but you have a testimony that it can, rarely, happen and the conditions are rough. My former counselling as well as my strong faith in the God of the Bible enabled me to deflect the bad, nourish the broken child and watch incredible changes, as well as work on several faith projects together...things he had never done before. Your letter encourages me. Right now I have not seen my friend for 10 months but recently a man told me he has seen him at some mens group meetings and a pastor from my friends country told me my friend asked if he, the pastor, would come visit and stay with him even for a year. Both of these would not have happenned if I was with him because he only wanted me around. These also tell me he read a letter I had sent telling him if he ever wanted me back in his life he would have to be discipled by a man so he could mature in his faith. I am not saying he will be back in my life, but I care enough to keep praying for him and respect myself enough to keep a distance at this time. If I had not seen the changes I did in the time we were together, I would be long gone. Thank you again for writing your story to me. God bless!

      Ana Kerner you’re so very welcome! And you hit the nail on the head when you said “broken child”, that’s exactly what they are! Or at least that’s what mine was! He had a rough childhood, and a not so great relationship with his mom growing up, a non existent relationship with his dad. It almost seemed as though he was stuck in his childhood and that horrible way of thinking no one could ever fully accept him, or be there for him through good and bad 100%. I showed him I was there, and not going anywhere, as long as he accepted his flaws and changed them for the better..and like you said, at the same time acknowledging the good, bc he did have some good, he was just terrified of getting close to anyone bc of his childhood, and that made him bitter, jealous hearted, and cold toward everyone. I thank God every single day for helping him, and me..bc it was definitely all God! My husband has even reconciled with his mom, and they are very close now. I hope all works out well for you and your friend, all things are possible through God. God is love my friend. ❤️❤️

      @@janaj2748 Your story and replies mean a lot to me. I do realize most narcs dont change, for example both of my parents and my kids dad stayed stuck in their stuff...but with my friend I saw a difference as I never reacted but responded with Gods love. The anger left, he learned to laugh and even joke with me...he learned to have fun! Your story came at a time I needed encouragement that true change is possible, not for most but for the few that recognize and want it. And it is only by Gods grace...as I pray...If Gods love was great enough to bridge the gap between heaven and earth, His love as we demonstrate the tough but consistant 1 Cor 13 love, is greater than the grip of evil. We are his vessels of that love, and its not easy...I love Colossians 2:15 which tells us that the powers of darkness were stripped at the cross. Praise God! But it takes patience, hope, long suffering, kindness...overcoming evil with good, Gods good. We would not have the power or ability to walk this path apart from Him. God bless! 💖

    This was such a great and informative video. Thank you for this. I have traits from all three: co-dependent, empath and super-empath.. However most of my traits lie on the empathetic and super empathetic scale. Its strange to think that yes I can be very sensitive, empathetic and overly supportive (at times), and my heart is in the right place, however when I see that I am being taken advantaged of/used and abused, then I can and will flip the script 180 with no remorse of the effect it causes. In fact I enjoy the effect (perhaps a little too much) it causes especially when it is to teach a lesson.

      I had to do the same when calling out my ex NARC. I reflected all his behaviour back at him(mirroring) but it wrecked me because the behaviour was against my nature. The absolute relief every time he left the door and sense of impending doom every time he arrived was palpable. I threw him out 3 times but he intimidated me to let him back in. I finally got police to take him away once I had him for criminal damage and intimidation recorded when I dialled 999. But then the police had to report back to landlord that they responded to an incident and I was given my notice to quit.
