Stage 4: Soon, they begin using the narcissist’s manipulations against them.
Without their usual empathy guiding them, the super empath begins to follow in the narcissist’s footsteps. It might start small, as if they’re dipping their toes in the water, with light teasing about a stain on their shirt, or gaslighting them by calling them silly for thinking their favorite TV show is funny. But soon, as they begin to revel in the same thrill the narcissist has been thriving on their whole life, they get harsher.
Soon, they act like a mirror, just like the Heyoka Empath, every time the narcissist uses their hurtful tactics against them. Their supernova energy burns hotter as they use their empathy against the narcissist, knowing exactly what will hurt them. Every memory they have of the narcissist they will use against them, knowing better than anyone which buttons to press and when.
Stage 5: Confidence grows inside the empath and they develop their self-worth.
Each time the super empath watches the narcissist’s boundaries shake as they perform their mental gymnastics, the empath’s confidence grows along with their supernova energy. Before, they were a shell with only a small ember flickering to keep them alive. But with each win over the narcissist, the fire smolders. Life is pumped back into the super empath.
They feel like they’ve been reincarnated and given a chance to create their own karmic revenge. The catharsis of each mind game that they successfully win fuels the empath even more. They begin remembering who they were before the narcissist. They remember their own passions, beliefs, and morals, not those of their abuser. Hope for a new life without being emotionally depleted from trying to please a narcissist appears around the corner.
A future away from them scares them, because they are usually dependent on the narcissist in some way, whether it is family or their romantic partner. Even scarier though, is what needs to come first. The final narcissistic rage. But they know that it is the only way to survive even though it feels wrong to hurt someone they once loved, or even still love, dearly. Once the image of a bright, hopeful future manifests itself in the super empath’s mind, they know it is their only option.
