3. Empaths listen carefully and remember the small details.
Narcissists are, well, narcissistic. They tend to think that the smartest people in the room and the only ones incapable of preserving information. It’s true, the average person isn’t always listening to the important details. The thing with narcissists is that they often don’t remember, or care to listen to the good details about you.
If you bring up positive accomplishments, they’ll either ignore them or quickly devalue them, often even pushing them out of their memory. Instead, they keep a mental database of everything less than perfect you’ve ever done. A super empath, in contrast, genuinely cares. When a narcissist is being vulnerable, even if their stories are twisted with lies, an empath listens. And they remember everything. The good and the bad.
Sure, a narcissist might use your flaws and mistakes against you to emotionally blackmail you. But they will forget the small important details, like incorrect names or other facts, due to not listening, which can ruin their credibility. In contrast, an empath will remember everything the narcissist ever told them. They will know exactly what to say to turn the tables back on the narcissist and retain control of the situation by humiliating them. Humiliation is a narcissist’s biggest weakness. Super empaths don’t revel in humiliating people or inflicting pain, but they’ll do whatever is necessary.
