1. Their intuition can detect manipulations.
Empaths are very underestimated, especially super empaths. Their good-natured personalities and tendency to be over-trusting can make them seem naïve, gullible, or incapable of standing up for themselves. It’s true, empaths can be naive and fall for lies because they see the best in everyone. This might get them into a tricky situation with a narcissist because their guards were down at the beginning. However, unlike people with lower empathy, they’re more intuitive and can see patterns developing much faster before they’re too deep.
Super empaths can feel emotions and detect motives quickly. So, the moment an empath feels maliciousness, especially when it’s so far off from their own natural state, they know something is wrong. Normally a narcissist can’t keep their masks on for an extended period of time and try to leave their partners dependent on them quickly. But, the empath isn’t nearly as gullible as you might think. It might take them a while to realize the narcissist is lying to make you swoon over them. But as soon as their mask begins to slip, the empath catches on.
2. They often have a core identity and high levels of self-worth.
Super empaths have high levels of self-esteem, self-worth, and a strong sense of identity. If you’ve ever wondered why having a good sense of self is important because it is a bit of an abstract concept, here’s a perfect example.
Gaslighting is a common manipulation tactic used by narcissists. The term is derived from the 1944 film titled “Gaslighting” and surrounds itself around a married couple. Slowly, the wife starts believing she’s insane and loses sight of who she is. Meanwhile, the husband is repeatedly dimming the gas lanterns and telling his wife she’s hallucinating when she comments on the changing lights. Eventually, she’s driven into insanity. So, how could a strong sense of identity have helped the wife in the classic movie?
Well, if she had high self-esteem and knew exactly who she was, do you think she would have believed she was hallucinating? She probably would have looked back on her life and thought of all the times she hallucinated, noticing it was zero, and told her husband to fix the lights because he’s the crazy one for not noticing.
A super empath with high self-esteem knows their worth and doesn’t forget who they are, even when someone is telling them they’re wrong or crazy. Instead, they might drive the narcissist crazy, sometimes making them a conquest. Their empathy makes them perfect for giving the attention they crave and their self-esteem makes them both, attractive, envious, and unattainable.
