Am I Becoming a Narcissist? (Empaths vs. Narcissists)

Years ago I came across a quiz in the Reader's Digest titled "Are You a Bore"? Anxious to find out if I indeed was a bore I read the first paragraph. And it said something like this (not quoting here), but that if you were even taking the quiz in the first place you are most certainly not a bore. I'm guessing the same could be said for Narcissists. They would never even take the quiz. They don't care that they are completely self-absorbed.

Need this so much Lee, Thank you for giving empaths the "permission" it is OK to treat ourselves, hopefully as well as we treat others!! Much Love, xxx!!

I honestly don't think that a narcissist would take a quiz but I've done so many things that I feel are logically wrong to society and I am supposed to feel bad for it but when the time comes, nothing no emotion

Hi Lee. This lady’s question and what she is going through resonated with me in a huge way. I have just experienced the same feelings of anger, resentment etc. I went to a 10-day Vipasanna Meditation retreat and it changed the way I react (or more so - don’t react) to these feelings now. As time goes by I become more and more aware of how much the meditation helped me overcome these emotions as an empath & healer. You’re answer was also bang-on (as usual). 💞

You are awesome by the way. Balance is hard and I am a rare type of empath. I have a hungry goats and am learning to embrace it.

Thank you so much. I not understood what was happenning to me for so long, I have been paranoid for a year and its been effecting me physically after being confused for so long. This makes everything make sense. I reached that empty pissed off angry stage and faught against it for so long because my mother was like that growing up and I wanted to pretend I wasnt capable of treating people the same way she did, and was forcing against it so much.. but now I see I need to make a plan and acknowledge what happened and not ignore myself anylonger. Consumed by the needs of others has only perpetuated even as I attempt to hide myself away. Just walking down the markets I get pulled in to people left right and centre, being ca for them but only just holding myself together. Im venting now I realise :) But Thank you.

Boundaries ah I’ve never considered this redirecting! I’ve gotten so tired of hearing problems. I’m like here we go. Thank you! Next time someone says I’m being selfish I’m going to say dang right I deserve it! I’m angry lol.

Your suggestions are healthy and marvellous! Thank you!

Just Perfect.

thank you.

this happened to me just yesterday, and I got totally stuck as to what to say to this person..... so thank you Lee. xx

Thanks, Lee. <3

Many people don’t care about me ... so you are right sometimes you can be a bit narcissistic... you need to also learn how to love your self ... it can’t be always about others!

As bad as it sounds, I ignore my narcissist x 100000x and we live together! I haven't spoken to him in weeks but I learned it from him. I just amplified it 😄 I am searching for a place to move but in the interim, mums the word. I can tell he doesn't like it...but oh wellllll 😵👌

Aloha! Since I have find my balance, I say: We are all humans we are all One so then we are all narcicistic since narcicist is Human. Some are too much some not enough. Listening carefully to the words of others in silence brought me to clarity, balance and respect of my différence, uniqueness and limits. The healer is humbled; the healer is healed ! Namaste

If you were becoming a narccisist you wouldn't be concerned or worried that you were. You wouldn't care about it.

I appreciate that you are so honest about your feelings. Can you also discuss the topic of empathic training of self love. Lots of empaths are so empathetic that they hid there depression. You are hyper sensitive personality. Try reconnecting to the earth and relate the other people

No. I believe when an empath is around a narcissist we simply reflect our opposite. I think it's for defense.

Lee I like your vlogs/ forecasts. Recently I've come across moving away from archetypes of victim-offender / narcissist /perpetrator as these are old programmes. What's your thoughts?
