Stage 6: They completely stop giving them validation and become brutally honest, remaining in their empath supernova phase until the final narcissistic rage.
At this point, the super empath is mean. The innocent, sweet empath that was once there has turned into a cold, jaded, and spiteful version of themselves, mirroring the narcissist’s reflection perfectly. No longer is there a trace of compliment, but rather harsh, brutal, honest truths of how much the super empath resents them.
Eventually, the narcissist begins their final rage, not expecting it to be their last. They think they can outsmart the empath’s supernova. But in the super empath’s grand finale, they will channel every bit of the narcissist within them. Their newfound confidence will aid their defense mechanisms, making them even stronger than the narcissist, because the empath’s confidence is real.
The narcissist will begin throwing everything they have against the super empath at them, using the cruelest language and harshest tone. All of their maliciousness will spew from them, expecting the super empath to crumble and beg for forgiveness, to go back into their former shell. But the empath remains still and unfazed. They know the narcissist’s secrets; they know that the insults don’t mean anything to anyone outside of them.
The super empath’s biggest strength over the narcissist at this point is that they don’t value their ego highly. They are humble but confident. They remember who they were before the narcissist entered their lives, and know that they’re a good person, regardless of the gaslighting they endured. The narcissist is shaken by the lack of response to their best work. And that is when the supernova is ready for its final show, and the empath explodes. Every single weak spot the narcissist has is pushed. Every insecurity they ever felt is thrown back in their face.
They try to defend themselves, but the super empath was in the supernova state for so long, gathering evidence against every rebuttal the narcissist could have, that they are cornered. Suddenly, the super empath holds all the power, and the narcissist is depleted. Their ego can’t handle honest criticism anymore, every harsh word is like venom through their veins. They are scared of the super empath, as for the first time they see themselves in the mirror.
They realize that the empath has stolen all their tricks, and that combined with their own personal strength and self-esteem that couldn’t be crushed, they’re stronger. The narcissist will then become the one cowering and begging for forgiveness. They promise they can change. But the empath has heard it all before. And that’s when they give the final blow of rejection, the last bit that is needed to destroy the narcissist. After feeling exposed and broken down by the empath, rejection feels near fatal to a narcissist, and they usually flee, leaving the empath peacefully alone.
