Number 3: Empaths are concerned about the success of others.
Without the support and assistance of others, success is impossible to achieve. Empaths are concerned not only with their own personal accomplishment but also with the success of others. They want other people to get involved and be rewarded for their efforts. When they do this, a rebound effect occurs which contributes to their own success. When an empath considers a topic or a situation, the first thing that comes to mind is how it may be improved in order to promote a positive image of the human spirit. They like to give rather than receive.
Empaths demonstrate that they have something illuminating to offer the world by strengthening human interactions and delivering help to others. Because of that, they are not consumed with envy when they experience it. They are genuinely happy when other people are successful.
Number 2: Narcissists need to be in control.
Because narcissists are constantly dissatisfied with the way life develops, they try to exert as much control as possible over it and modify it to their liking. They need and demand control, and their sense of entitlement leads them to believe that they should be in charge of everything.
Narcissists have preconceived notions of what each “character” in their encounter should say or do. They grow agitated and unsettled if they don’t behave as expected. Because they’re off-script, they’re not sure what to expect next. They want an individual to say and do exactly what they want in order for them to accomplish their desired outcome.
The empath is not a genuine person to the narcissist with their ideas and feelings; they’re a character in their mental theatre.

Number 1: Empaths do not like to control others, but they do have a hard time setting boundaries.
For an empath, a loyal friend is always in need of assistance. When the phone rings, they dread answering it because they know they’ll be sucked dry after conversing with the caller. But they pick up anyway because they care. Perhaps they’re at the grocery store and a complete stranger approaches them and proceeds to tell their entire life story. The empath will pay attention because they genuinely care.
